My wife and I decided to sell this car which is now even a more incredibly low price for someone who would like a great GTi that has great aftermarket products installed by a great company called RPM.  Additionally, I had the cluch replaced by the VW service which cost me $2,200 and did, so it would be like brand new. Aside from that, and when the RPM did all that they did...many people who see it think it's a brand new car...lol. Actually, in my opinion, while only a brand new car is perfect...this one is close to being like a new car and far better with all of the very expensive aftermarket products added. Now while we paid approximately $41,000 for the car, aftermarket products and the new cluch...we're selling it for a LOT less. In fact, we're selling it for about the same price as just a regular 2008 GTi.  For example, look at the other ones here on eBay.  Most are 14.5K to 15.5K and am sure all of them are nice yet ours has a LOT of aftermarket products in making it a Show Car!!  And yet, we'd also let someone buy it for less than $2,699 with ALL aftermarket products accept the current wheels and tires and you could replace them with the original wheels and tires that we still have here at no extra cost. The new wheels cost $5500 and the tires were approximately $400. Yes, it would be much better to buy it WITH the new wheels and tires, in my opinion...not just because the new wheels are BEST but also because you'd save $3,201 in those. This is a great price so...first come/first served!

"Show Car"? Sure, my son has done that locally due to the aftermarket products added. Meanwhile, The PA State Inspection was done this November which means all is good...no surprise to me. We bought it for him for $19,000 from the dealer in Wexford, PA. When we bought it, this car had 46,720 miles whereas now it has 54,822 so its only been driven 8,102 miles and FAR less since all the fantastic aftermarket products were added just before my son went to college.  He couldn't have a car there so we decided to sell it. The good news for the buyer is that it cost $20,000 for the aftermarket products that was installed by one of the best companies in the USA...called RPM and you can call the main one who did it, his name is Justin and he did really good! They were installed approximately only within the past 6 months when my son went to college...so it had less than 500 miles on the aftermarket products!! My son always referred to it as his "baby" and he drove it very well, kept it very clean and always took care of it. I'm NOT the expert about aftermarket products on cars yet my son sure is and I discovered that RPM is great in doing them. In effect, as told to me by my son, the mods include:

-2 13.5" JL audio Tw5 subwoofers
-Pioneer AppRadio Headunit
-Interior Red LED lights
-Autopilot v2 suspension
-18" BBS super RS's powder coated white
-Eurojet Turbo Back Exhaust
-Neuspeed P-flo cold air intake 

The good news for a buyer is that I own the car here in Pennsylvania and have the Title. I do require payment by cash or by your banks Cashier's Check. As for the latter, I would want to know about it prior to the buyer arriving to pick up the car as I will call your bank to confirm that it's legitimate. And then we'd go to my bank to confirm it as well. After that, the Title will be changed to the buyer at a place very close to our house after the payment is completed successfully.

Aside from the aftermarket products here's the details of the car as I understood it:

• 2008 Volkswagen GTI

• 2.0L l-4 TURBO engine

• 6-speed MANUAL transmission

• Beautiful candy white exterior

• Anthracite interior

• Great color combo!!!

• Xenon high intensity headlights

• Front fog lights

• Front air conditioning

• Cruise control

• On-board trip computer

• Sirius am/fm/mp3 premium stereo

• 6-disc cd changer

• 10 speakers and 2 HUGE Sub Woofers

• Power windows

• Power door locks

• Power side-view mirrors

• Light-tinted windows

• Four-wheel ABS brakes

• 3 ABS channels

• Brake assist

• Abs and driveline traction control

Shipping, if necessary, is full responsbility of buyer. If being shipped, full payment must first be received. If pick up, same applies though can be done simultaneously.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

Translogic 171: EV West Karmann Ghia Electric Conversion

Wed, Feb 25 2015

Translogic checks out EV West, one of the world leaders in electric vehicle conversions. Host Jonathon Buckley interviews EV West owner Michael Bream and test drives a converted 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. What drives EV West to electrify classic cars may surprise some. "We're not doing this because we're the hardcore environmentalists or we're trying to save the earth," says Bream. "If we can't at least double your horsepower and torque, we won't touch the car." In fact, EV West brings a race-tested performance pedigree to back up those boasts. The company competed in the electric class at Pikes Peak, has run through the desert at Baja, and in general has successfully proved that battery-electric vehicles can compete at a high level.
