This car is a tank with the raw power and the AWD! It puts a lot of smiles on peoples' faces and sounds amazing but I'm selling it since I moved to the city, so the car is no longer practical for me. I keep an organied folder with receipts from repairs. The VF Engineering supercharger kit was professionally installed by AWE Tuning. Very few (I've heard under 2,000) were made in Reflex Silver w/ cloth 2 tone seats. Anybody who knows VW's knows that the mk4 R32's are the highest quality and nicest looking VW's. As long as I've owned it it's always been hand washed, always used 93+ octane gas, always garaged, always driven below 2.5k rpm before warmed up, always maintained by excellent techs. Clean title. Paint is great and NO rust! I've Never had any problems with the supercharger kit. Video of another R32 w/ the same supercharger kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_10ciXLbbM The following work has all been done in the last 16 months and I have the receipts : All new brake pads and rotors (OEM) New Tires (approx. 80% TREAD LEFT!) New Coolant Temp Sensor New Shifter Plate New Spark Plugs (2k miles ago) New Charger Oil Line (1k miles ago) New A/C Compressor (2k miles ago) New Supercharger Belt (2k miles ago) New Camshaft Speed Sensor (1k miles ago) Tranny fluid flush (2k miles ago) Coolant Flush (2k miles ago) Oil change (2k miles ago) Sunroof drains cleaned out (2k miles ago) * Never dyoned, trcked, etc. but car is rated around 375hp on 93octane Aftermarket: -VF Engineering stage II Supercharger kit (fully polished option) w/ Intercooler (professionally installed by AWE Tuning) -Twin diverter valves option -Flapper Mod (necessary for the high HP) - Audi TT 18" Spare donut tire - pro tint job (it's completely needed since the interior being black gets very hot) -THULE Roof Racks w/ sport visor The Bad: The R32 is officially 10 years old so it's got some flaws: Front bumper lower corner cracked from hitting a curb stop - from previous owner Quarter size dent in driver's side front fender. A few rock chips on hood One of the cooling fans is out but never had problems when the outside temp is below 70 degrees... It only begins overheating if you're in traffic for a long time or running it hard without a rest) Minor Vibration at about 900 rpm sometimes... I've talked to a few techs about the issue and they say it's a vacuum leak (a common occurrence on these supercharger kits) Very difficult to find a high HP, tuned car that was very well cared for. Let me know if you have any questions!

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."
