Hampton, Virginia, United States

For almost 3 years this has been my personal GTI. I purchased the GTI with only 19xxx miles, like all my cars from an insurance auction. At the time the car replaced my 2006 GTI which one of my best friends wanted. However, like all my personal cars (Porsche Carrera, Lotus Elise) they don't get driven much and mostly sit in the garage. When I first bought the GTI and fixed it I drove her nearly everyday. When I purchased my 2011 Golf TDI the GTI was parked and only driven when the VA State inspection was due. One year later I sold my Golf TDI and purchased a 2012 Passat TDI. Most of these cars I sell after a year so and move up to a newer model. Not so with my GTI here. I kept it because it is fully loaded.....I mean fully loaded!!! The GTI has Navigation,
Leather interior,
Heated seats,
Moon roof,
Xenon headlights,
Multi function steering wheel, 2013 upgrade with module and programming. Works flawless!!!

The damage to the GTI when I bought it was to the right rear. I included a photo!! I replaced the rear subframe and all the suspension arms in the right rear. I also replaced the rear section of the rocker panel and 2 of the rims on the right side. The tires are brand new and have less than 1000 miles on them. My GTI is also lowered with the German Eibach springs all around. An alignment was done of course and the GTI drives candle straight. There was no damage at all the front of left side of the car. ( There is a photo included showing the GTI the way I bought it. The steering wheel was brand new with airbag, purchased for a 2013 GTI. I also replaced the steering module which needed to be done to make the 2013 Steering wheel function buttons work on an 2009. The module was professionally programmed and married to the car. All the buttons work except the phone button since the 2009 doesn't have the phone feature build in. The battery is also less than a month old!! Everything is full working condition. Ice cold AC, heat works as it should and so is everything else. The tinted windows were done by the previous owner and were already like that when I bought the GTI. The GTI has a 6-speed manual transmission and at 24xxx miles is not even broke in yet. Despite me owning my own shop, I take all my new Volkswagens to the dealer for service. That is because the car was still under warranty when I bought it and Volkswagen was during the all the services and recalls. I have the receipt for the last service done in Virginia Beach at Checkered Flag Volkswagen. It comes with the original books and manuals. Also has the Original Volkswagen GTI monster mats and the Gorilla trunk mat upgrade from Volkswagen. The reason I'm finally selling the GTI is because I purchased a 2013 GTI with only 6xxx miles that is also fully loaded. Yes, I buy all my personal vehicles from insurance auctions. The reason for that is, When you buy a used car at any used car dealership or private customer you should ask yourself why are they selling a car that young if they have no problems with it!! When I buy a damaged car from an insurance auction I know it's there because the insurance company paid the previous owner off rather than fixing the car. Had they not been in an accident with it they'd probably still have the car today!!!
The GTI is completely restored to normal, there are NO WARNING LIGHTS ON!!! As with all our restored late-model cars, when the repairs were completed the GTI was inspected by an authorized inspector of the DMV. No aftermarket parts were used!!! The GTI runs and drives perfectly and there are no flaws. There are no parts missing, I replace every screw and every clip, no matter how small -- to fully restore the GTI to previous condition!! I had no means of selling any time soon when I first purchased the GTI. We do accept certain trades ins but only Mercedes Benz, Mini Cooper, or Volkswagen 2011 and newer. We will supply temporary plates should you decide to fly in and drive the GTI home.

    I'm open for all reasonable offers in case you don't like to wait for the auction to end!!

This GTI has been completely restored and has passed a Virginia Salvage Inspection.



 


THIS JETTA HAS NOW A CLEAR TITLE THAT REQUIRES NO ADDITIONAL STEPS AT THE DMV.

                                                 Check my other auctions because we have many other cars for sale!!

If I get a reasonable offer before the auction ends I will cancel all bids and sell the car. It is also for sale on our lot. If this is something you're interested in, don't wait for the auction because many of my listed cars sell before the actual auction ends!!!

10 best new car deals of November 2021

Thu, Nov 4 2021

Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

Autoweek dubs GMC Canyon, VW GTI its 2015 'Best of the Best'

Wed, Dec 17 2014

For kids around the globe, tis the season for Santa, reindeer and presents. For the automotive industry, the last quarter of each year is reserved for awards, whether they come from Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Automobile, or yes, Autoblog. The latest to get released comes from our friends at Autoweek. The magazine has echoed other outlets, naming a Volkswagen hatchback and a small pickup from General Motors as its Best of the Best. Unlike Motor Trend, which handed out its golden calipers to the Chevrolet Colorado and Volkswagen Golf range, Autoweek doled out its awards to the Colorado's twin, the GMC Canyon, while singling out the hottest version of the Golf, the GTI. "This is the best hot-hatch on the American market – and it may be the best car you can buy for less than $30K," one AW staffer said in the publication's article on the feature. Other staffers praised the absolute value provided by the GTI and the overall fun factor. The Canyon, meanwhile, was saluted for being "the perfect size," not to mention its excellent build quality, feature-rich cabin and overall practicality. "It's truly a truck in the most honest sense of the word," Autoweek wrote of the Canyon. Scroll down for the full press release on the announcement from Autoweek, which includes comments from both Volkswagen and GMC. And then head over and read AW's full feature on the awards. Autoweek names Best of the Best/Car and Truck for 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI and GMC Canyon signal a strong year for design, performance and value DETROIT, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Autoweek named the Volkswagen Golf GTI as its Best of the Best/Car for 2015, beating a group of finalists that includes the Alfa Romeo 4C, Ford Mustang and Mercedes-Benz C-class; and the GMC Canyon as its Best of the Best/Truck for 2015, besting the likes of the Chevrolet Colorado, Lincoln MKC and Porsche Macan. Autoweek evaluates every new or significantly updated model throughout the year and begins to identify the standouts. Performance, economy, fit and finish, design, value, significance to the auto industry and personal taste all combine to define the Best of the Best. Four cars and four trucks make the grade, and Autoweek editors put them through rigorous road-handling tests at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich. This is where a vehicle transcends the numbers and shows if design, performance and pure driving passion meld into an Autoweek Best of the Best pick.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
