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.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Peugeot will prove it doesn't offer cheater diesels

Thu, Oct 29 2015

Our diesels are clean, really. That's the message from French automaker PSA/Peugeot-Citroen as it plans to go on the offensive in response to Volkswagen's diesel-emissions scandal. PSA will go out of its way to prove its diesels are as clean as advertised. The company is looking at disclosing "real-world" fuel-economy statistics as soon as next spring and will use an independent entity to vet the numbers, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments that PSA/Peugeot-Citroen financial chief Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon made to reporters this week. Such efforts may be vital, since roughly two-thirds of the vehicles Peugeot-Citroen sells in Europe are powered by a diesel engine. Last month, VW admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel-powered vehicles were programmed with software designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. The news shook up the industry, especially companies that sell a good chunk of diesels. The EU itself may start instituting "real world" fuel-economy and emissions testing as soon as 2017. French regulators have said they may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies that currently make diesel fuel cheaper to customers than gas. That adjustment may occur as soon as next year, since it's been pushed up in response to the VW scandal. Peugeot-Citron continues to reiterate that it has never installed software that was designed to cheat emissions-testing systems. Additionally, the automaker was more than a decade ahead of European Union mandates for engine components designed to cut soot emissions, so the company is hoping its track record makes a difference. It wants to be perfectly clear about that.

Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.
