The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

Selling a 2001 VW GTI. Black with black leather. 1.8 liter turbo motor, with automatic transmission. This is the GLS model (mid level I believe). It does have all of the power options, minus power seats. Has the power glass sunroof, AC, power steering, ABS, airbags and all that good stuff.

The good: timing belt was done at 115k miles. At that time, water pump, tensioner and head gasket were replaced. At 124k miles, the transmission was replaced with a very clean, used unit from a 68k mile car (I may still have the invoice for that somewhere). Turbo was replaced at the same time with a used unit. Interior is in overall good shape. Leather is in good condition. Exterior isn't bad either. Car is overall clean.

The bad: the car has a few bumps and bruises, normally associated with older cars like this one. You can see in the pics that the glove compartment is broken (common among MK4 VW's), inside passenger door handle came off, interior trim tape is peeling (on the roof liner, by passenger window), and a dent on the left front fender where paint is cracking. There is a leak (I believe coolant) at or around the turbo area. We believe one of the hoses has a pin hole or something. Leaves a little spot on the driveway sometimes. We top off the coolant once every 2 weeks or so. Also drips oil from the same general area sometimes, overnight. Not a lot, but it does do it sometimes. We think it may be one of the copper crush washers on one of the turbo oil lines. Check engine light is on because secondary O2 sensor isn't in the exhaust pipe. Needs to be screwed in and harness connector snapped on. The check engine light is on for this issue only. This may be done by the time the car is picked up.

Things that need to be addressed: The water and oil leaks should be looked at, but the car does run and drive, and we do drive it to and from work. The car is registered and insured, and we do use it. The front control arm bushings may need to be replaced (another common issue with VW's). The bushings are cheap. We just haven't gotten around to doing them. It also needs 1 tire. I do have the 4th aluminum wheel, which will be included with the sale, but that tire is no good, hence the spare on the car. Interior trim mentioned can use some love, but the car can be driven the way it is.

So here you have a car that can be running perfectly for a few bucks, or if you are a mechanic, can have this in top condition for next to nothing.

Not sure what else to write here. The car is ready to go, with clear NJ title in hand. Come with cash if you want, and drive it home the same day. The car is at my sister's house, in Woodbridge, NJ.

Car is sold as-is (because they don't warranty 12 year old cars). No reserve auction, and I put a buy it now on there as well. Bid away, but use buy it now if you don't want to risk somebody buying this out from under you.

Thanks for looking!!

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini

Mon, Dec 7 2015

If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
