Jesse's Jetta From The Fast And The Furious Just Sold For $42k
Owning a motorised piece of Fast and Furious memorabilia isn’t something that’s all that affordable. The orange Toyota Supra from the first film sold for $185,000, and the Nissan 350Z featured in Tokyo drift was up for grabs not so long ago for an even higher price. More than you can afford pal, in other words.
However, this car here - the VW Jetta driven by character Jesse, appearing in one scene with an apparent lack of front brake callipers - sold at Barrett Jackson’s Scottsdale auction on Thursday for a much more reasonable $42,000 (£29,400, brakes included).
The catch? Well, it’s not exactly a 10 second car, with a mostly standard 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine under the bonnet, hooked up to a humble four-speed automatic gearbox. However, it does come with signatures from Paul Walker, F&F director Rob Cohen and Chad Lindberg (who played Jesse, in case you’ve never heard of him).
Its most recent owner is former Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz - if that makes a difference - and there is also a Playstation 2 hooked up in the cabin for anyone wanting a semi-retro gaming fix…

You have clearly never seen the F&F films. Its a movie memorabilia what did you expect.
it has memories and history, and is perhaps one of the most known vw’s in a movie
Does it come with brake calipers?
