I've decided to list my 2009 GTI for sale, its an awesome little car, but I've discovered I really don't like making a car payment, and think I'm going to go back to an older BMW. I believe I am the third owner. The first owner leased the car, and the second bought it for his daughter who drove it for a couple years before shipping off to college. 

The car is in great shape mechanically and cosmetically, with 62,xxx miles on it. The mileage will go up slightly as I'm still commuting ~30 miles/day in it. Its United Gray over the Plaid cloth, optioned with the DSG, Sunroof, Heated Seats, 18" Huff Wheels, and Premium sound. The only options it doesn't have are Leather and Navigation. The 2009 cars are a bit of an oddball, with the MKV body and interior, but the updated TSI motor currently sold in the MKVIs. The biggest issue cosmetic issue is 2 of the wheels have somewhat significant curbing.

Recent Maintenance: 
-58,xxx miles
--New Tires/Alignment
--New Rear Pads/Rotors (fronts are still have 80%+)
--Seafoam Treatment in crank, fuel and intake
--Oil Change w/Factory Oil and Filter, ECS Magnetic Drain Plug
--New Air Filter
--New Cabin Air Filter
--New Spark Plugs

The DSG Mechatronics unit was recalled at 14k miles and was replaced at a VW dealership. They gave it a transferrable, extended warranty until 2019 or 100k miles, so you don't have to worry about one of the biggest concerns with buying a DSG car. Interestingly enough the 3rd taillight has the same extended warranty, not sure why they needed to recall that... 

The car also received a full paint correction around 58k. The factory iPod Dock fried itself a couple weeks after I bought the car, so I replaced it with a simple Grom Audio unit. 

It will also come with a set of Monster mats that have been used for less than 1000 miles, a heavy duty cargo liner, a set of paddle shifter extenders that didn't work for me and my long fingers, and a vial of factory touch up paint.

The car is completely 100% stock, save for a few software mods using VCDS (factory Volkswagen Diagnostic Software). I turned on the Emergency Flasher function that flashes the hazards when you activate the ABS, the remote windows down/up feature, and made a long press of the trunk button release the hatch.

In the interest of full disclosure, the car currently has a CEL with the dreaded code P2015 which is due to the electronically controlled flap in the intake manifold. The car is not displaying any of the symptoms of the flap actually malfunctioning (lower fuel economy, reduce performance, rough cold idle), its just the CEL currently. 

I have the replacement part on order and will be installing it this week, however, if someone would like to install it themselves, we can work that into our price. With the manifold replaced, my asking price is $15,500 OBO. This is an extremely nice, well optioned, completely stock and unmolested, well maintained example of a GTI.

Ten of the greatest Super Bowl car commercials of all time

Thu, Jan 28 2016

With an average of over 100 million viewers each year, the Super Bowl always has advertisers bringing out the big guns. And for those among us who don't know the difference between a safety and a touchback, those commercials can be one of the most compelling aspects of the annual ritual. Car companies, in particular, have a long history of making the most of the huge Super Bowl audience by debuting some of the most memorable advertisements that have ever aired on television. So, in preparation for the new batch we'll be seeing this coming Sunday, here's a collection of our favorites from the past. 10. Audi – The Godfather When Audi created this homage to the quintessential gangster movie to promote its newest sports car, the company managed to make a commercial that was simultaneously funny, a little bit disturbing, and most importantly memorable. 9. Maserati – Strike This one might start out slow, but it delivers not only with the wicked sound of the third-generation Ghibli's engine, but with an interesting message about hubris in the auto industry as well. 8. Nissan 300ZX Twin-Turbo – Dream Directed by none other than Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien), this dystopian spot has centers around a narrator who explains that in his dream the bad guys are unable to catch him despite their best efforts by way of street bikes, race cars, and supersonic jets. While the twin-turbocharged 300ZX car was certainly a performance powerhouse to be reckoned with in its day, the concept and execution of this one does come off a little bit campy now – but in a good way. Then again, it is a dream, after all. 7. General Motors – Robot This one is unique in that it's genuinely depressing on a profound level. Who would've thought that the simulated suicide of a lovable, anthropomorphic car-building robot who has fallen on hard times could be such a downer? 6. Nissan – With Dad Although the debut season of its new LMP1 racer didn't exactly turn out how the team hoped it would, there's no denying that Nissan's depiction of a strained father-and-son relationship that eventually leads to redemption (and the introduction of the 2016 Maxima) tugs at the heartstrings. 5. Volkswagen – Big Day A surprisingly poignant advert, this one might be low on dialogue but it certainly gets its message across. And just as the dramatic soundtrack begins to lull the viewer into a sense of security, our expectations are upended. 4.

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
