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!

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.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
