2009 Vw Gti Tornado Red On Interlagos 6-speed on 2040-cars
Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, United States
Hey there, I have for sale my 2009 VW GTI. Its tornado red with the interlagos interior, 6-speed manual transmission. The car currently has 63,3xx miles and will be going up since this car is my daily driver. Its mostly stock with the exception of a Unitronic Stage 1 tune, BSH Torque arm insert, Audi S3 short shit kit and ECS tuning smoked side markers on the front in place of the amber ones. I have the original ones available if you prefer those. Comes with the monster mats as shown, but I also have the original ones as well. Comes complete with all books and manuals. All tools and original spare tire as well. interior is in good shape with typical wear marks on the drivers seat and armrests. I dont smoke or eat in the car so its in very good condition. The only thing that doesnt work is the cd player, reason being a cd got stuck in it and displays "cd error" when selecting. All other features of the radio work and even has an aux input in the dash so you can listen to MP3 or stream audio if you wish. Car also has heated seats. The reason im selling is because after 3 years I want to get back into a BMW. Its been a great car but its time to move into something else.
Now time for a little history about this car. I bought it in November 2010 with 24,500 miles on the odometer. Apparently, this car was involved in an accident prior to me purchasing it. I inspected it personally before buying on a lift and could not find any evidence of a repair. The accident may have been very minor or whoever did the job did a very good repair. There is no frame damage, no salvage or rebuilt title either. the airbags were never deployed according to carfax so im not sure, they may have screwed up on their end. I have owned the car for 3 years and never gave me any issues or left me stranded. There are no misaligned hood gaps or body panels, no overspray anywhere on the car. When I tell people this they cant believe it was ever in an accident. I have all records since my purchase and receipts. I am a professional technician myself and performed all repairs myself. I have changed the oil every 5,000 miles with OEM VW filters and the recommended Castrol Syntec oil. At 50k I replaced the spark plugs, fuel and cabin filters and replaced the cabin air filter. The transmission shifts smooth and the clutch does not slip in any gear. I try to be as honest as I can in my descriptions since I understand some people may be coming from several hours away and nothing is more disappointing than seeing a car that has been misrepresented. if you are expecting a car with a perfect body then you will be disappointed since it does have typical rock chips, scratches and a few small dings for a daily driven car with 63k, but no huge dents or broken headlights or cracked foglights. The car is in very good shape and I think anyone who buys it will be very happy. I just inspected the car and the brakes are still at 9/32 front and 5/32 rear so those are still good for a while. The only thing I can see this car needing in the future are 4 tires since they are really getting worn. Around 5/32 on all them. I also have a set of Nokian RG2s mounted on a set of 16'' Audi A4 wheels that I run during the winter. They are literally brand new and have less than 5,000 miles on them which are awesome and really transform the car in the snow. I also have another OEM VW oil filter I will include as well. I can include these in the sale if you are interested. Again, if you are looking for a mechanically sound, adult driven GTI that is mostly stock then this is the one. Any more questions feel free to contact me at 703-727-6684. I live about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Trying to get $13k but will take any reasonable offer. |

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Feds allege widespread Volkswagen cheating on clean-air rules
Fri, Sep 18 2015Volkswagen intentionally installed software in nearly a half-million diesel vehicles that helped the cars evade substandard results on emissions tests, the federal government charged Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to the German automaker, saying the company's software broke the law by violating two provisions in the Clean Air Act. Circumventing the standards meant affected cars emitted as much as 40 times the allowable level of certain pollutants. Both the EPA and California Air Resources Board have launched investigations. In its notice of violations, the EPA said Volkswagen officials admitted to installing and concealing what they call a "defeat device," which was designed to detect when the cars were undergoing official emissions tests – and only turn on emissions controls during that time. "Our goal now is to ensure that the affected cars are brought into compliance, to dig more deeply into the extent and implications of Volkswagen's efforts to cheat on clean air rules, and to take appropriate further action," said Richard Corey, executive officer of CARB. The allegations cover approximately 482,000 vehicles sold in the United States over the past seven years. Cars involved include diesel versions of the Jetta, Beetle, Audi A3 and Golf manufactured between the 2009 and 2015 model years. Passats manufactured for the 2014 and 2015 model years are also included. Federal officials note there is no safety danger to motorists, but the cars will be recalled for repairs. If true, Volkswagen faces a fine that could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- likely higher than the $300 million charge the EPA levied last November at Hyundai and Kia for exaggerating the fuel-economy in several models. The charges also put a tremendous dent into the company's plans to increase sales of its "Clean Diesel" vehicles in North America. In a written statement, Volkswagen Group of America acknowledged it had received the notices from the EPA and CARB. "VW is cooperating with the investigation; we are unable to comment further at this time," it said. Federal officials said the defeat-device software was uncovered during an independent analysis by researchers at West Virginia University, who in working with the International Council on Clean Transportation, a non-governmental organization, raised questions about emissions levels.
Volkswagen reportedly to name Matthias Muller CEO
Thu, Sep 24 2015Porsche chief executive officer Matthias Muller is expected to be named CEO of Volkswagen AG, the Wall Street Journal and other sources reported Thursday morning. Muller, 62, has led Porsche since Oct. 1, 2010, and jumpstarted the sports-car brand's expansion around the world. He replaces Martin Winkerkorn, who stepped down Wednesday amid the company's worsening diesel scandal. At least three more executives are also expected to be fired, including Volkswagen's US chief and the heads of Audi and Porsche research and development. Both brands are divisions of VW. A US spokesman wouldn't confirm the reports. An official announcement is expected at VW's board meeting on Friday. Muller's ascension caps a stunning week of turmoil for Volkswagen, which manipulated software to make its diesel-powered vehicles appear cleaner during testing that they are in real-world driving. The charges were revealed last week by the EPA, which cited the work of researchers at West Virginia University. About 482,000 vehicles are affected in the United States, which will be subject to recall, and VW estimates about 11 million of its vehicles around the world have the rigged software. The well-regarded Muller was viewed as a front-runner for the job even before Winterkorn stepped down. Before helming Porsche, he oversaw all vehicle projects globally for VW from 2007-2010. Previously, he was in charge of the Audi and Lamborghini product lines, and earlier in his career was responsible for the Audi A3 program in the 1990s. He joined Audi in 1977. He's trained as a toolmaker and studied information technology in Munich. His last name is sometimes spelled Mueller in English. Muller faces immediate challenges as he takes over VW's sprawling 78-year-old industrial empire, including recalls and regulatory actions around the world. In the US alone, the company faces a fine of up to $18 billion. VW, an industrial symbol of Germany, is also far larger than any unit Muller has run in his career. While Porsche sold 189,849 vehicles in 2014 globally, it's one of many VW brands. Collectively they sold 5.04 million vehicles through the first six months of this year, making Volkswagen the world's largest automaker. Related Video:
