Let me start off by saying that I pride myself in being ABSOLUTELY honest and straighforward when dealing on eBay. I've been jerked around before and HATE people who do that kind of thing. This is meant to be a laid back, no pressure sale of a car that I LOVE and am not particularly excited about selling...

Up for sale is my 2009 VW GTI. The car has been garaged for the last 2 years and is in excellent condition. I have always driven the car very carefully and have NEVER abused it in any way, as I do not believe in trashing beautifully designed machines, ha ha. It has barely been driven in the last year and a half, as I was able to walk or ride a bike to work. The car is mechanically sound and has nothing wrong with it other than a few MINOR cosmetic things, which I'll describe below.

Minor cosmetic flaws:

1. Right after I got it in 2010, like a jackass I backed into a pole in a parking lot at about 0.5 mph. As a result the driver side rear tail light cracked and the bumper and rear quarter panel were scuffed. Insurance covered the incident and a brand new light was installed and the body work was done by a professional. You would never know it happened.

2. There is a small crack in the driver-side side skirt, right behind the front wheel. This was there when I got the car and I never addressed it. Looks like someone removed the side skirt at one time and I'm guessing that is how it happened (see picture).

3. There are a couple of TINY paint chips (maybe 5 total) that I've covered with touch-up paint, but that are still slightly visible - barely a consideration.

4. I bumped the headlight switch with my knee getting into the car one time and the plastic around it has a crack that is barely noticeable (see pictures).

5. There is some light curb rash on the driver-side front wheel. This was from the previous owner.

6. There is a small scratch in the rear window tint. This happened last week from a surf board fin and the glass is fine.

A couple of things things that I've had to have fixed on the car:

1. I had an issue with the 3rd brake light (on the rear spoiler) last year where only half the LEDs in the light were coming on. I took it to a VW dealer and they replaced an $800.00 part in the computer that was putting a bad voltage through that light, along with the light itself. The whole thing was covered under the 5 year/50,000 mile warranty and the light has been fine since.

2. The "Check Engine" light came on at the beginning of this year, so I took it to the dealership again. There was an issue with a butterfly valve sticking in the intake manifold. They replaced the whole thing while performing the 40,000 mile maintenance. This was also covered under the 5 year/50,000 mile warranty.

A couple of things that have been added:

1. The car has super dark tint all the way around, and it was professionally done, so it looks awesome. I got pulled over for it immediately after buying the car, and was given a warning and told to have it removed. That was in Ohio, but in Virginia I've never been pulled over for it.

2. The car has the nice GTI rubber mats (the driver one is coming close to having a small hole worn through, but the rest are like new), as well as the VW "Gorilla-Gear" trunk protector mat. The original floor mats are included.

3. Less than 1500 miles ago I put Brembo (drilled, zinc-coated) rotors all around on the car, along with Hawk ceramic pads (a $700.00 investment). I was surprised at how much more responsive the brakes were, and the ceramic pads are quieter and generate less dust. These brakes look great and will stay that way for a long time.

4. I have two brand new Good Year Eagle GT All Season tires that will come with the car (see picture). I already have these tires on the front, but have not yet replaced the rears (Dunlop SP Sport 01 A/S) because they're such good tires ($210.00 a piece) and still have some life left in them.

5. I put the factory VW roof bars on it. They have a few scuffs here and there but are fully functional and look and work great.

That's pretty much it. Please feel free to call or message me anytime with questions (606-547-6565), and thanks for looking!

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
