For sale: 2004 VW R32, and easily the nicest one for sale on ebay. 88,420 miles and is only driven once a week to keep the battery charged. Although the car is not stock, it features only minor modifications designed to enhance the driveability of the vehicle. This car has had three owners and was in Colorado until 86,4xx miles so it has no rust or corrosion anywhere on the vehicle. I have a relatively complete service history since new (have previous owner’s records) and all services have been performed on time. Both factory recalls (coil pack, sunroof drain) have been performed on this vehicle.

-          First owner owned vehicle up to 58200 miles and performed the following modifications:

o   K&N filter

o   ECS tuning stubby antenna (won’t get ripped off in car wash. Original included)

o   ECS tuning clear side markers

o   Hawk performance ceramic brake pads (OE stopping quality, no brake dust and very long life)

-          Second owner was a vehicle broker for his side business and owned the car for ~2000 miles

-          I purchased the vehicle at ~60,200 miles in 2011 and performed the following modifications:

o   Carbonio cold air intake with custom AEM Dri-flo filter to avoid MAF fouling (stock intake is included with vehicle)

o   APR tune with stock, 91, 93, and 100 octane tune with security lockout mode. I’ve seen over 30mpg highway average since installing the tune

o   SSR type-c wheels in 18x8.5 with 235/40/18 Dunlop ZII tires. These are a massive performance upgrade over stock, saving over 10 lbs/wheel despite the larger width.

o   Sport Edition F12 wheels in 17x7.5 with 225/45/17 Yokohama ice guard winter tires. The smaller diameter improved winter ride quality.

o   SEAT Cupra R front lip spoiler gives the car a sportier touch.

o   Replaced front bumper undertray panels- no more curb rash!

I have changed the Haldex differential fluid every 15000 miles or less, which is an extremely important maintenance item on these vehicles. In addition, transmission and differential fluid was changed at about 84000 miles with Schaffer gear oil by Metrick Methodz in Fort Collins, CO.

This car has been freshly detailed inside and out (will have ext. detail finished 3/9/14), which will leave it looking showroom-fresh aside from one 3” scuff in the clearcoat behind the driver’s side door. In addition, the cargo area carpet is wrinkled and the hatch door plastic has a few scratches in it. The seats show no signs of wear, even the massive driver’s side bolster- I have always taken great care getting in and out of this thing.

This car is an opportunity to buy an R32 that needs nothing, and if the current market is any indication, should prove to be a good investment that may even gain value with time.

Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line

Tue, Sep 12 2017

Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned — forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first — but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.

Only VW, Volvo are doing enough to electrify in Europe, study says

Wed, Jun 16 2021

Among major carmakers, Volkswagen and Volvo are doing enough to electrify their vehicle lineups in Europe, and the EU needs to set tougher CO2 emission limits if it wants to meet Green Deal targets, according to a climate group's study. Sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids almost tripled last year, boosted by tighter emission standards and government subsidies. This summer, the European Union is expected to announce more ambitious CO2 targets; by 2030, the average CO2 emissions of new cars should be 50% below 2021 levels, versus the existing target of 37.5%. Volkswagen aims to have 55% group-wide BEV sales in Europe by 2030, while Swedish carmaker Volvo, owned by China's Geely says its lineup will be fully electric by then. VW ID4 front three quarter dark View 19 Photos Based on IHS Markit car production forecasts, according to the study from European campaign group Transport and Environment (T&E), Volkswagen and Volvo have "aggressive and credible strategies" to shift from fossil-fuel cars to electric vehicles. Others like Ford Motor Co have set ambitious targets, "but lack a robust plan to get there," T&E said. Ford plans an all-electric lineup in Europe by 2030. T&E said BMW, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Daimler AG and Toyota rank the worst as they have low BEV sales, have "no ambitious phase-out targets, no clear industrial strategy, and an over-reliance in the case of BMW, Daimler and Toyota on hybrids." JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, says its luxury Jaguar brand will be all-electric by 2025, but has been less specific about electrification of its higher-volume Land Rover brand. BMW and Daimler have been reluctant to set hard deadlines for phasing out fossil-fuel cars. T&E said even if carmakers meet their targets, in 2030 BEV sales could be 10 percentage points below those needed to meet the EU's Green Deal — which targets net zero emissions by 2050. Rather than a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, based on carmakers' existing production plans, the EU could set more ambitious targets, T&E said - an up to 35% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2025, around 50% by 2027 and up to 70% in 2030. "Targets need to be gradually tightened so that carmakers not only commit to phasing out fossil fuels, but develop a strategy that gets them there on time," Julia Poliscanova, T&E senior director for vehicles and e-mobility, said in a statement.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
