I'm the 2nd owner since the car had 25,500 miles. Adult owned for almost 4 years and never smoked in. Volkswagen of America just replaced the DSG with a new one at 79,500 miles because of a VW dealership's carelessness during a transmission service. A new DSG is about $6,000. Car is tuned with APR stage 1 (stock mode, 91 octane, 93 octane and 100 octane). Car has all new Goodridge SS brake lines with StopTech slotted rotors and StopTech street pads with TyrolSport brass bushing brake caliper stiffening kit, all changed out at 79k. Solo-werks coilovers with front 034 Density strut mounts installed at 82k. Car has 17" Audi RS replica wheels (perfect condition) with all-season Cooper RS3-A tires with approximately 4,000 miles and come with a 40,000 mile manufacturer warranty. These wheels also have TPMS installed. All black textured trim has been changed to the rare OEM VW Thunderbunny sideskirts and Thunderbunny rear bumper with LED license plate lights. Front lip is a smoothed OEM candy white Jetta lip. Transformation started when someone rear ended me at about 5mph. I opted for the bumper, then changed the lip when the front bumper was replaced after shredded tire road debris (paperwork available). Some rub marks on the front passenger side fender wheel well (pictures available). Also replaced were cam follower (replaced at 75k) and most recently revised diverter valve and valve cover. Interior cloth is in great shape. Car was already tinted when I purchased it, doors are around 35% and the rear is just about as dark as it gets. The car was already wired for an amp and subwoofer. In addition, the doors and floor of the rear hatch have been layered with sound deadening mat. Sunroof works perfectly, no problems. Car has been waxed twice yearly during my 4 year ownership and the HID headlight is clear as new and no hazing. Synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles and not the recommended 10k by VW. All recalls have been performed and I just replaced the air filter and an oil change. DSG service occurs every 40k and won't be needed until the car reaches 120,000 miles. You will not find another DSG GTI anywhere with 9,000 miles unless the car is new.

My entire reason for selling is because I'm moving to an all-year-round summer climate and I'm wanting to get back into a roadster. This car has been great daily driver and a blast to drive. Very quick with the tune, better handling with new suspension and brakes way better than the stock rotors and pads. I've had quite a bit of Vag-com work done. The two key fobs can control driver and passenger side windows (up and down) in addition to closing the sunroof. The rear hatch release button on the key fobs has been activated that was not an option in the U.S. The HID Xenon headlights have been turned off as daytime running lights and the fog lights have been turned on as daytime running lights. Also, had the seat belt chime turned off in case you don't like wearing a seat belt (which I don't recommend).

I'm in no way associated with APR but check out their website for information on the tune. The GTI's stock numbers are 200 HP/ 207 TQ. APR's tune raises horsepower to 252 and torque to 303 on 93 octane gasoline.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
