2010 Vw Golf Tdi White 3dr Manual Trans 40k Mi Sunroof 1 Owner Excellent Cond on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Excellent TDI which I had planned to keep forever and cared for accordingly. Broke it in very gently, varying speed, short trips, no highway during break in. No door dings, perfect paint except for a few small chips due to highway use. I'll have them touched up before car is sold. Lots of washing (including underbody) during winter (only 2 winters in MN). Underneath car is perfect- no sign it has been through a MN winter- looks just like a southern, unsalted car. Never been in a carwash with brushes-- touchless or hand wash only. Always garage kept, hand waxed 2x/yr. No accidents of any kind, no body work/ paint ever. Only adult driven, by me. It is an amazing car, getting >40 mpg on the highway even with rack. Serviced by a trustworthy local VW dealer and has had all service on time. I personally verified correct oil for changes by talking with service technician and verifying full/mt bottles of Castrol LL03. Just had 40k mi service. New OEM battery because I replace them every 4 years- nothing wrong with old one New wiper blades. I have all fuel receipts. It has averaged 38 mpg for all fuel consumed. Curt trailer hitch and trailer light plug. I have only towed a tiny boat a very few times, but it tows this small boat beautifully. Towing capacity is 1000lbs and my little boat/motor/trailer is less than that. Comes with Thule rack and fairing, a bike tray and a top case. With fairing, rack is very quiet, though does cost 1-2mpg. Sunroof is still usable. Rubber VW floor mats for winter and carpet VW mats for summer. 4 winter steel wheels (VW takeoffs) with Blizzak WS70 205/55/16 tires and TPMS sensors and wheel covers. Winter tires probably have 8k mi on them, which means tires/wheels that came with car have about 32k mi. Based on how they have worn so far, I guess they have 20k mi more in them. But wait, There's more! New Frostheater which I didn't get installed last winter. Unopened CarGo things that came with mats. No idea what they do. I don't think you'll find a better TDI than this one, unless you buy a new one, which is probably really what you should do. The supply of used TDI's is always less than demand and so the used ones have very high resale value which is why I bought a new one 4 years ago. You could buy this car new for probably $26k +tax+ accessories ~$2k, if you can find a 2014. I looked really hard for a 2dr manual trans with sunroof. 2015's are due in July and will have urea injection. Yuck. I am not in any way desperate to sell this car, so it won't be a bargain. Winning the auction isn't getting first right of refusal; it is a contractual obligation to purchase the car for the agreed upon price within 7 days. If you want to come and test drive it, please do that before auction is over. If you win the auction, show up with cash or cashiers check for full purchase price or I'm not even opening the garage door. I have MN title with no liens, so purchase will be a snap, but we'll have to go to my local bank for the transaction even if you bring cash because apparently people now make fake cash that is very hard to tell from real. So that means weekday sale, probably (My bank is open Sat morning though). It is for sale other places on web and locally, so I reserve right to end auction early. |

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
