I am offering for sale a 2010 JSW TDI DSG.
Clean and clear title in hand with MY NAME on it ! We are the 2nd owners and my wife has driven the car since i believe just under 46k miles. The first was a 74 year old local retired gentleman. i have personally driven this car to Chicago and back averaging 47MPG doing ~3mph over the speed limit. 42MPG in real world conditions are easily obtainable if you stick to Energy-efficient driving techniques. My wife does a lot of city driving and naturally refuses to obey any of my instructions on hypermiling and gets an average of around 38MPG. No repaints, accidents or bodywork of any kind. Garaged EVERY night and EVERY single day at work. The car has minor dents, dings and scratches from every day use that happened during previous owners ownership - but rest assured we are the ones ALWAYS parking furthest from the entrance of the grocery store, restaurant or any structure prone to be frequented by the careless masses. Known as a Mk6 Golf variant on the rest of the planet, but sold as the Jetta Sportwagen here in the US. If you are looking at this listing you must know how coveted these are. I will spare you the plethora of reviews that rant and rave about the superiority of the TDI wagon to any SUV when it comes to fuel economy, utilitarian value, practicality and TCO (total cost of ownership). The car has following options : - Platinum gray metallic Exterior Titan Black Interior - DVD satellite Navigation system ($1800 and worth every penny!) - Panoramic sunroof ($1300) - 6-speed DSG transmission ($1100) - 17" alloy wheels ($450) - Rear Side Airbags (rare) ($350) - Sport & Protection Rubber mats, splash guards & trunk liner ($310) - Media Device Interface for ipod ($200) all in it cost $30,559 plus tax delivered at Byers Imports in Columbus, OH. All maintenance done at local VW and Audi dealerships Byers and Hatfield, all paperwork incl. windowsticker comes with the car. After free maintenance (until 36k miles) always serviced by Jon Hamilton, a TDI-club trusted mechanic and world record holder on Pikes Peak in a 2000 Golf TDI, starting with the 40k DSG service. 2-17-2014 complete timing belt service: replaced timing belt, timing belt cover, timing belt tensioner, small top roller, small lower roller, large upper roller, water pump, serpentine belt and coolant - while the car was out of commission for a few days I went ahead and had a RocketChip Stage 1+ tune done ($1653.57) 12-2-13 60k service incl. brake fluid replacement ($224.70) (all OE parts used, german Pentosin Super Dot 4 brake fluid, etc. etc.) 11-12-2013 all tires were replaced with Continental Extreme Contact DWS All Season tires incl. discount tire free replacement certificates (works at every discount tire in the US, $701). 5-21-2013 DSG (fluid and filter) and 50k miles service ($416.33) please contact me with any serious questions. Here is a link to the picasa web album with detailed high res pics:
I also have a current carfax report if you are interested. this pic shows every tool i own in the back of the trunk. I ran out of tools before i ran out of space ;-) I will arrange PPIs at buyers expense (and reserve the right to refuse shops that i deem not trustworthy with my cars) and would be more than happy to accommodate a fly & drive. Closest airport to me is CMH (Port Columbus International Airport). My last TDI (an ALH) with almost 200k miles went to a very happy and satisfied buyer in Texas who flew in and drove it back (never having driven a manual car before) and averaged 56mpg all the way back ;-) in case you are wondering about the timing belt replacement - this was due to a roller bearing failure. as a result : - outer shell "ate" a perfect hole through the timing belt cover - something started cutting into the timing belt - all the balls from the bearing ended up in the bottom half of the timing belt cover HOWEVER no tooth was skipped, belt did not tear and no further damage - but boy what a PITA having to do the timing belt 4k miles after warranty ran out. Good news for you - the biggest maintenance item has been done. I have full documentation of the repair and the parts used and have pics of the parts in question. Especially the belt that is not torn will prove that there was no further damage. |

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut
Tue, Oct 21 2014The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program.

The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
