Located in Brewster, NY - Sold AS IS!
I'm the original owner of this car, and it's been sitting around since November when I bought a new car. She starts up for me every week and I take her for a spin on the highway for a few miles and back. Major repairs that I recall include a new clutch @ 140k, and a timing chain controller about 2 years ago (this was expensive). In the last year I had some exhaust work done and an o2 sensor replaced to pass inspection. She blew a coil pack on me last november which was replaced, but meh, I decided to replace her. The car runs fine, bring your plates and drive her home!
Great for:
College Kid Crowd - Great gas mileage for those long journeys to Buffalo & Oswego etc.
Commuters/Train Station People - She's cheap on the wallet and always starts up in the cold.
Gearheads - Stock Wolfsburg, Germany built 1.8 turbo 4 is quick and easy to upgrade.
Newbs - Learn to drive stick this summer and impress the girls!
Here's a list of items and issues that come to mind with this car:
The Good:
- The engine still runs strong at 170k miles and the turbo is healthy. Acceleration is quick and has no problems driving in left lanes.
- It's very reliable. It has always started for me. I did have to replace the alternator once, but I simply pushed it down a hill to get it started that day.
- I put a Kenwood CD/USB receiver in a few years ago. It sounds pretty good but I still have the OEM cassette deck if you want it.
- Gas mileage is around 30mpg.
The Bad:
- Those lights on the dashboard pic have been lit for a few years now. The car passes inspection without a problem.
- The cruise control doesn't work. I think because of the lights mentioned above.
- The ebrake is inconsistent and thus unreliable for use on steep hills. It's fine for non-steep hills when also leaving the car in gear. I keep getting it tightened but i guess it needs better fixing.
- The sunroof electronics are broken. I like my sunroof and used it a lot. Then it just stopped working one day. I guess this is common because VW includes a handy allen wrench in the car so you can open/close it manually!
- When the car is parked on an incline and it rains really hard there is a leak somewhere over the gas/brake pedals. I had the drains cleaned once, but it didnt seem to help, so I put a small bucket under the pedals if i'm parking on a hill and it's gonna rain.
- There is a small coolant leak. I'm not sure of the source but it seems to have started since I've not been driving her much.
- The tires seem to loose air a bit. You will want to get this checked out. The tires are not punctured, but the rims are a bit corroded. I've keep a small air compressor in the glove box.
- Alignment is a bit wonky, might need new front tires. Rear tires are still fine. Michelins too.
The Ugly:
- The interior is pretty haggard. It's been on a lot of long trips and things like the glove box latch and arm rest are broken (you can still open the glove box, not to worry).
- The front driver side spoiler is cracked a bit. I never got around to repairing this, you could fix it or just pull the thing off.
- The front hood has some paint chips.

I am providing as much information as I can so that you can make an informed and educated buying decision. I have listed what I know to be wrong with the car.

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
