2012 VW Jetta TDI with 38,XXX miles. Dealer maintained every 10k miles as recommended by VW. This is my daily driver and the miles will be increasing some.

Green title, no accidents, garage kept, non-smoker. There is a lien/loan on title, so the easiest way to complete this transaction would be at a Chase Bank - who is the lien holder.

Key Features - Black Leatherette interior, Touchscreen Navigation system/DVD (has a built in hard drive), Fender premium sound system, Keyless access w/ push-button start, heated seats, fog lights, heated power mirrors...5 year/60k mile powertrain warranty still in effect

This VW Diesel is rated at 30/42 MPG, but people routinely get better gas mileage out of their TDIs. On a couple long trips to Chicago, I've been close to getting 700 miles on 1 tank of gas. The norm is probably around 550 with a decent amount of highway miles, but if you're driving mostly city it would probably be closer to 450 per tank. It's not uncommon for people to get up to 50-60 MPG with these TDIs

Extras

Standard Navigation system is the RNS-315, I have upgraded to the RNS-510. The 510 has a 6.5" touchscreen and better resolution, compared to the 315 with a 5" screen. This new radio cost around $2k and was professionally installed. This is not factored in the sticker price (see photo).

Extra set of (4) VW mats - original mats were used once when the vehicle was driven home from the dealer, only used TDI Monster Mats after that.

Extra set of (4) rims/tires - Volkswagen Karthoum 18" Wheels (black). Tires have about 14k miles on them. Current wheels on the car are standard 16" alloy with all season tires with about 24k miles on them. Both sets have significant amount of tread left. The 18" wheels and tires new cost is over $2k. This is not on the sticker price and I do have the receipt if needed. (the only picture I have with the black rims was from when I originally purchased the Jetta, which I've included)

Transferable wheel/tire warranty 5 years from purchase which cost was $599. Purchase date was 9/29/11, so that puts the expiration date at 9/29/16. I believe the transfer fee is $40 dollars to NSD.

Windows were tinted at the dealer at the time of purchase.

The window sticker does reflect the option for Front/Rear Valance and side sill extensions. This is the ground effects body kit that was installed at factory, special ordered. If you're going to KBB to get a value, this is not an option or factored in. As you can see from the window sticker photo, this option cost $1950.

Negatives - The rear passenger door has 2 minor marks, I'd say they are slightly larger than a pin head from what I think was someone hitting it with a shopping cart. The Karthoum wheels do have a little curb rash (2), one a little more than the other - not too noticeable. I will provide some pictures of these items upon request.

Contact Craig @ (two-four-eight) EIGHT 54..6228. Serious inquiries only please. These TDIs go for every bit of blue book value, so there isn't much room for negotiation.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

Audi to keep hiring workers despite VW diesel scandal

Tue, Oct 27 2015

Even while Volkswagen contemplates delaying or canceling projects to pay for costs related to the massive diesel emissions scandal, its stablemate Audi is hiring, according to Reuters. Audi certainly isn't immune to the diesel scandal, with around 2.1 million affected vehicles worldwide including 13,000-14,000 in the US, but the scandal so far isn't affecting staffing levels. "We are sticking with plans for strategic growth and are continuing to hire new employees as planned," Audi board member for human resources Thomas Sigi said in a German newspaper, according to Reuters. Sigi even suggested paying a "respectable" bonus to workers next year. Audi has some big projects on the horizon, too. Among them, the company intends to launch a production version of the E-Tron Quattro Concept in 2018, and for performance fans a new TT RS appears to be on the way. The new A4 should be a big contributor to global volume when its worldwide rollout is complete. Rather than allowing the diesel scandal to hurt all of its divisions, the VW Group instead wants to concentrate the fallout (and costs) on the VW brand, according to Reuters. Those expenses could be huge. Volkswagen is budgeting around $7.3 billion just to repair the 11 million emissions-cheating vehicles. Worldwide, maximum estimates put the whole mess at $87 billion.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 Â– aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
