2013 Volkswagen Gti 2dr Black Pearl/plaid - 11,655 Miles! on 2040-cars

2013 Volkswagen GTI 2DR 11,655 Miles Deep Black Pearl Metallic/GTI Plaid 6speed Manual 2.0-liter
turbocharged inline-4 (GTI) WVWEV7AJ6DW121934 I am the
first owner of this GTI. I purchased it at Palmetto 57 Volkswagen off of fl826
in Miami, FL. This car has had the oil changed every 5,000 miles, and serviced
regularly. The engine has been properly broken in; the performance
modifications were not installed until 6,116 miles. The initial 6,000 miles the
car spent conservatively commuting 20 miles each way. After 6,116 miles, all
performance upgrades were installed. This car
has never given me any problems; I have loved driving it every moment! I’m
going to be sad to see it go, but I’m moving to New York City, and cannot have
a car. This car has been tastefully, and
professionally tuned. I have only installed the best parts. All of the upgrades
were installed, tuned, and maintained by Foreign Affairs Motorsport, located in
Pompano Beach, FL. You can look up more information about them here: foreignaffairsmotorsports dot com - They have a phenomenal reputation, and
they are family owned. This is a non-smoker car, has never been in
an accident, and has always been kept in a covered garage.
Modifications include:

Over $11,000 invested in this car!
So after all of these upgrades, how does it
drive?
Light and super fast. According to APR, and
Akrapovic, the numbers fall around 280-300hp and 300-320 torque. I have never
dyno tested the car, but I do have access to one if you are interested. This
car launches off the line with such aggression, the wheels cannot even grip the
pavement. When cruising on the highway, and the rpm’s are around 3500-4000 and
you lightly press the gas, the car wants to take off. You will be thrown into your seat with a
smile. The sway bars, coil-overs, and super sports greatly increase the grip, rigidity,
and athleticism of this car. The Akrapovic exhaust is about as beautiful of a
sound as you can imagine. From both inside and outside, the sound is such
perfection; you’ll find you are driving with the windows down in the middle of
summer just to hear it! Also, what most people who want to buy the exhaust and
have not heard it in person, the exhaust has such a nice deep resonant presence
at idle, that most people don’t expect to see a 4 cylinder pull up. The quality
of the exhaust is astounding; Akrapovic is hands down, the best.
Best part about all of this… the car does not
suffer significant mpg’s, and daily driving this car is perfect. The power
doesn’t throw you into your seat until 3800rpms. Everything below is smooth,
with wonderful road manners. Occasionally, there is some rubbing in the back.
This only happens though if potholes/bumps are not negotiated properly, or you
are carrying your girlfriend’s suitcase in the back.
Of course, if you are looking at this car,
and have gotten this far into my description, you are probably aware of all of
this. This is one of the best, pure GTI’s you are going to find. There isn’t a
navigation system; the car has the original plaid seats, and a 6speed. The
options are sparse, but the car is very light. This car has been done the right
way.
Asking price is $29,500.
Let me know what you think, shoot me an email
with any questions you have, and if you are really serious, send me an offer.
If you’re in the Miami/Coral Gables/Midtown/Miami Beach Area, let me know, and
you can come by and check it out!
Thanks for your interest!

Peugeot will prove it doesn't offer cheater diesels
Thu, Oct 29 2015Our diesels are clean, really. That's the message from French automaker PSA/Peugeot-Citroen as it plans to go on the offensive in response to Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal. PSA will go out of its way to prove its diesels are as clean as advertised. The company is looking at disclosing "real-world" fuel-economy statistics as soon as next spring and will use an independent entity to vet the numbers, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments that PSA/Peugeot-Citroen financial chief Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon made to reporters this week. Such efforts may be vital, since roughly two-thirds of the vehicles Peugeot-Citroen sells in Europe are powered by a diesel engine. Last month, VW admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered vehicles were programmed with software designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. The news shook up the industry, especially companies that sell a good chunk of diesels. The EU itself may start instituting "real world" fuel-economy and emissions testing as soon as 2017. French regulators have said they may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies that currently make diesel fuel cheaper to customers than gas. That adjustment may occur as soon as next year, since it's been pushed up in response to the VW scandal. Peugeot-Citron continues to reiterate that it has never installed software that was designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. Additionally, the automaker was more than a decade ahead of European Union mandates for engine components designed to cut soot emissions, so the company is hoping its track record makes a difference. It wants to be perfectly clear about that.

BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development
Tue, Dec 9 2014Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
