2007 Vw Gti, 6 Speed, Low Miles, Airride, Bbs, Shaved on 2040-cars
Vernon Hills, Illinois, United States

Here is a totally one of a kind GTI with low miles. This car garners attention wherever it goes, and has had a ton of online exposure as well. This car means a lot to me and the only reason I'm selling is because I have too many cars as it is. Lets start out with the basics: it has 46,000 miles on it with no mechanical issues present. The car is far from stock, however mostly oem parts were used in the build. The exterior is in 9.9/10 condition with a lot of tasteful, subtle mods: the front end was lightly damaged by a tire tread on the highway, which coerced me into buying a Jetta Wolfsburg front upper and lower center grille ($300) with r-line fog grilles ($120) housing projector foglights ($120), the front bumper is a stock gti bumper with the ugly washer covers and sidemarkers professionally shaved ($600-$800) and an oem Votex Lip installed ($300). The fenders aren't mangled like many lowered cars are, and neither are the quarters. The stock body has ugly rubstrips running down the sides, with something like 18 holes to hold them in. These strips have been shaved, filled, and welded like they were never there. The sideskirts are votex sideskirts ($200), and the rear bumper is an oem r32 unit ($800+paint) with a rare shaved lower valence ($300). The entire car has been resprayed in a custom pearl white (looks hyper white in most light, but put it under a parking lot light or in a parking garage and the blue really comes out (my favorite feature on the car) The taillights are oem euro led's ($550). The car will come on a set of rare BBS Impuls in MINT condition, and sized at 18x8/9et38 with good tires ($2,500 before tires). Also included are the factory huffs with Michelin Pilot Aplin 2/3s with tons of tread left. The car is sitting on a top of the line airride system, no cheap parts anywhere in this system. It has airlift slam series front bags, with ss5 rears mounted in d-cups. The management is accuair e-level (the best) with a cleanly installed rocker switch to control it, with dual 444c compressors, 3/8 inch line, dual watertraps (the airride kit without the trunk setup is $4000)The trunk has a completely custom dual tank hardline setup painted to match the exterior of the car ($1500 just for the parts and hardware alone). Inside you will find a semting touchscreen navigation headunit with wiring that needs to be checked since it produces a lot of static, a complete oem leather seat swap, a euro dash cubby euro lower dash cubby, euro switch, full led lighting, (the sub and amp will not be included, but the wiring will be left in. Move on to the engine bay and you will find a neuspeed pflo intake, an external oil catch can, oem rev D diverter valve, APR stage one ecu, full mount kit including engine, trans, and dogbone mounts to make the car more dynamic ($500 for the mounts). Any issues the car has are extremely minor, and like I said this is a well known and appreciated car in Chicago, with a bit of a following. I was going to part it out but decided that someone on here might be able to get as much enjoyment out of it that I did. Its a great driver with an almost perfect exterior, and an almost perfect interior (no blemishes or tears anywear).

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Volkswagen Golf R Variant ready to haul ass, stuff
Thu, Nov 20 2014Volkswagen seems to be playing a cruel trick on the American automotive public at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's displaying its sexy Golf R Variant with no clear intention of actually selling the model here. The hot wagon launches in Europe in the spring, but the automaker makes absolutely no mention of the model's prospects in the US. Hopefully, its appearance in LA at least indicates VW is considering bringing it stateside. The great thing about this wagon is that it has everything that the regular Golf R offers, but there's even more room to carry stuff. The same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 296 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. Performance is very close, too, with the Variant R taking 5.1 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour versus the 4.9 seconds the standard R needs to read 60 mph. The two of them also have the same tech goodies like ESC Sport stability control and multiple damping modes. The real advantage to opting for the estate is its ability to carry up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo in the back. This hot rod wagon would seem to be perfect for the family that needs to haul some extra junk in the trunk, but doesn't want to sacrifice performance. Whether the Variant R makes it to the US remains a mystery, though. Scroll down to read the specs and feel a twinge of jealousy.
