2000 Vw Gti Glx Vr6 - Very Rare Tropic Orange Factory Paint, Black Leather, 5sp on 2040-cars
Royersford, Pennsylvania, United States
|
2000 VW GTI GLX VR6 FWD two door w/ 5sp manual
transmission, Clean title in hand This car has been relegated to weekend use (VW events) and
is rarely taken out of the garage since we have owned it in 2008. That being
said, the car could be driven across the country today with absolutely no problems. Rare Tropic Orange original factory color (never painted)
in great shape with deep shine. Black
leather interior. The tropic orange is
the most sought after color from this generation as only a couple hundred were
sold in the U.S. Minor mods include Bilstein sport suspension, P-flow air
intake, and aftermarket exhaust (very tasteful sounding, deep and throaty and
quiet under low RPMs) Original owners used the car as a commuter and put on 190K
miles up until 2008 when our family bought it. It has been garage kept since
2008 and for all 6 years and we have only put on 16K miles since 2008. Options Has every factory option offered in 2000: Heated front seats that work great, Monsoon Audio w/Compact Disc Changer, Metallic paint, full leather interior, power moonroof, keyless entry, 4-wheel ABS, power windows/locks, ice cold A/C. Overall Condition This GTI was used as a commuter car and has highway miles
for most of its life. The past 6 years
it has been garaged. Although I take it
around to VW events, it is not a show car.
The car could be driven across country tomorrow and looks pretty good
considering the miles/age, but there are some minor imperfections here and
there that would be expected (as outlined below). Exterior Original paint, no accidents or work has ever been done to
any part of the metal body, straight as an arrow on every panel. The VIN
numbers match everywhere. The
paint on the body is original and still has a rich shine to it. Other
than typical rock chips near the front of the hood or a light scratch seen
under direct sunlight, the exterior is pretty good for an original. The front
plastic valence/bumper cover does have some imperfections that were touched up (not professionally).
There are some imperfections on the rear trim plastic handle piece for the
hatch that were touched up as well. Also,
there are no rust issues with this car and never have been any rust issues. Interior The interior of the car is all original and in great shape
with the original factory Monsoon sound system and head unit/CD changer. The rear seats have almost zero usage
throughout the cars life (no damage or tears). The leather on the drivers seat is structurally
perfect other than 1 small split (about an inch) on the upper left bolster from
getting in and out and one small split on the side of the passenger bolster
(bolsters on both sport seats are firm and feel snug and the small splits are
hard to notice unless looking for them). The carpet is clean and the mats are VW
rubber floor mats. The dash
is in great shape with no cracks and the trunk area is also in good shape. The car comes with a full size spare wheel,
fold up toolkit, lift jack, and owners manual. Mechanical Approximately $7000 in mechanical work has been put into
this car over the past 45K miles with a complete overhaul done at around 160K
as outlined below. The original owner had the car
serviced at Jim Wynn VW in Norristown its entire life and had a spreadsheet
with all work done including every oil change at 3-4K miles so it was in good
hands at the dealer. The car currently has 206K miles (less than 15K miles/year)
and the original VR6 motor pulls very strong and shows no signs of aging. These
motors are known to be bulletproof if maintained properly. The A/C blows ice cold. All relevant maintenance such as timing chain
tensioners, accessory belts, and waterpump were done since 160K with a full
list below: Since 165K miles: New transmission and clutch New A/C compressor/condensor New
water pump New coolant hoses New timing chain
guides Bilstein
suspension New front
axles/cv joints New serpentine
belt New exhaust New Front/rear
brakes and rotors New Fuel pump Tires have about
70% treadlife remaining Since 200K: New battery last
winter (2/14) New coil packs All fluids and general tune-up items done. Many other different random parts such as bushings etc. Needs: The car will need front strut bushings immediately as they
have pretty much worn through and make going over bumps a little noisy. I bought these for state inspection but never
had them installed as my wife is on me to sell my toys for home renovations as
we have just moved into a new house. DETAILS & TERMS:
Thanks for looking and enjoy

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
Recharge Wrap-up: Zero takes electric motorcycles to cop expos, Chevy Volt powers dealership's Internet
Fri, Oct 3 2014Zero Motorcycles will be at three law enforcement conferences this month, including COPSWEST Training and Expo, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Vehicle Test and Emergency Vehicle Product Expo and International Association of Chiefs of Police Expo. Zero will display its recently debuted 2015 line of electric motorcycles at the events including the new FXP, a police-duty version of it FX "Stealthfighter." Zero also offers the MMX, SP and DSP for police and military use. Learn more about the events in the press release below. Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told European regulators that more stringent emissions standards too soon will be a major problem for automakers. He says that such moves could prove "fatal" for an auto industry that is still working to develop cleaner vehicles. "Every gram of CO2 that we save in our European fleet costs our group almost 100 million euros," says Winterkorn, "100 million that we have to invest in advance, without knowing when these investments pay off." He says that already creating emissions targets beyond those set for 2020 could harm European automakers competing globally. Read more at Automotive News Europe. When a Detroit Chevrolet dealership lost its Internet connection, it turned to one of its Chevy Volts for a temporary fix. After the regular connection at Buff Whelan Chevrolet went down, it plugged in a Volt showroom model equipped with 4G LTE, and used its connection to resume business. The car can handle up to seven connected devices, so the team used a Malibu to connect the rest of its computers. When a customer asked why the Volt was on, the team explained the whole situation, leading to one impressed customer. Read more at Automotive News.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
