I am the 2nd owner, this car is originally from Florida. All wheel drive system is amazing in the snow and wet. Runs and drives as it should. This car has been babied since new and always garaged. No rust, very clean as you would expect from such a low mileage car. Regular oil changes always with VW spec Total Synthetic. Brakes have about 15,000 miles on them, were replaced with new rotors and ceramic pads. JVC head-unit with i-pod connection run into the center console. Aftermarket front mats. Snow tires are currently mounted and are like new, have about five to six thousand miles on them. Comes with a car cover from original owner, Bentley manual, and code reader. Euro plate not included. Full disclosure: recently had new torque converter with seal installed at VW dealership to correct a problem inherent to all volkswagen 4motion and Audi quattros of this era that usually was fixed under drive train warranty. This car has such low miles that it ran out of warranty before the problem occurred. Also, the check engine light is intermittent. The passenger side variable valve timing servo is throwing the code. I had my dealership diagnose, and the computer exercised the servo and found that it was functioning. I have heard of people running sea foam in the crankcase before an oil change to get rid of any small amount of sludge that may be sticking in the servo. This has not affected drive-ability at all. There are two small sags in the headliner that are shown in the pictures, this is unfortunately common on VW's. Please remember that if you bid and win the auction, you will be expected to complete the transaction. I reserve the right to end this auction early. Please no zero feedback bidders. Feel free to call or email with any questions. 231-eight eight one- Five 038. Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

Volkswagen taps Porsche chief for board
Mon, Feb 23 2015Matthias Mueller was promoted to the top position at Porsche in 2010 after a successful stint of developing model lines during his 36 years with the company, mainly at Audi. Having shown the same prowess while overseeing Porsche for the past five years, German outlet Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports that Mueller will be promoted to the management board of the Volkswagen Group, according to a leaked copy of an agenda for the meeting. It's said that a new spot is being created for him, one that will put him in charge of "overseeing cooperation" among Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche. While other group executives are known to hold positions on the board and with brands, or across brands, it isn't clear yet whether Mueller will keep his spot at the CEO of Porsche after the promotion. One thing that is certain is the 61-year-old Mueller doesn't see himself in line for Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn's job in 2016, having told FAZ this month, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen."

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R
Wed, Dec 10 2014Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
