2008 Volkswagen Gti Base Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Howell, Michigan, United States
It's time to part ways with my car. It's been a fun two + years, but I've picked up something new and am putting the GTI up for sale.
I am the 2nd owner, having purchased it as a CPO vehicle in March 2011. It had just over 30K miles then, and it now has 85,1XX. I'm still driving it on occasion, so the mileage may increase. The car has never been smoked in, and both the exterior and interior are in excellent condition, and don't reflect the mileage. Zero accidents, spotless CarFax. DSG Heated Seats Sirius Gorilla Gear tray/blocks OEM Monster Mats and OEM Summer Mats Engine Modifications: APR K04 APR HPFP AWE S3 Intercooler S3 Injectors 3" Catless Downpipe DriverGear Cat Back System with Magnaflow Tips Noise Pipe Delete BSH PCV Revamp Kit Revision D Diverter Valve ESC Dogbone Insert The K04 was installed last summer by HS Tuning in OH, at approx. 65,000 miles. Zero issues. Cam follower has been checked on a regular basis, and was replaced 5,000 miles ago, even though the one in the car looked great at 13,000 odd miles. Oil changes ever 5,000 miles. Only Motul or Castrol has been used. Other than myself, the only shops to touch the car were Steve's European Automotive in Waterford, MI, HS Tuning in OH, and Howard Cooper (now Germain) VW in Ann Arbor, MI. I have all service records. DSG Mechatronics unit was replaced under warranty at time of CPO inspection, and was serviced at around 58,000 miles. Intake cam was replaced under warranty.

Tires were on one summer, all measure between 8/32 and 9/32 and include TPMS sensors. Springs/struts/rsb were installed at around 55,000 miles. Pads, lines and fluid were done at the same time as the K04 install. Misc.

I had an offer to sell it and did so. The car now has an OEM vent installed.* There is a lien on the car, and if you pay in cash, the lien would be released the same business day. Other funds will require a 10 day waiting period per my credit union, before a lien release is issued. If you are from out of state and are flying in to Detroit Metropolitan Airport or another local airport, I will make every reasonable attempt to meet you at the airport and pick you up to take you to the car. |

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch
Mon, Jul 14 2014Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
