from a private seller with clean and clear title in hand (with my name on it):

a 2004 VW Golf TDI - 2 owners, first was a friend of mine that got a job in Luxemburg and could only take one of his two TDIs - all records incl. maintenance and repair records come with the car.
Unfortunately my friend lost the window sticker.

This car is pretty rare in it's configuration - 5 speed, black matrix interior and NO SUNROOF !
This gives tall people an enormous advantage due to more headroom.
This car has never ever been smoked in !
Garaged every night until recently when it had to make room for the new car.
Still garaged every day at work.
100% stock except for EGR Delete and Rocket Chip Stage 1+.
The motivation for the chip was only to gain fuel economy and to enable the EGR delete,
this car was never raced or abused.

The car has 90k miles on it and it just received the 80k service incl. the complete timing belt service (timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt rollers (X3), metal impeller water pump, serpentine belt, G12 coolant) and new rear brakes (rotors and pads) from Jon Hamilton. The EGR delete and rocket chip were done at the same time.
This recent service (parts and labor) carries a 24 month and 24k mile warranty and cost ~$2300.
The car also just received a brand new fender at a VW / Audi certified body shop which was covered by VW's 12 year corrosion warranty.

In the last months i drove the car to Cincinnati and Chicago and averaged 49 mpg driving ~5 mph over speed limit.
>50 mpg without AC or cruise using standard hyper mile-ing techniques are easily obtainable.
I have managed to average 52 mpg over an entire month with a lot of long distance driving,
i never over inflate tires or any other non sense like that which sacrifices safety for a few mpg.

The car runs great, will meet for test drive and all records will go with car.
It has some dents, dings and scratches - mostly from parking incidents but is well worth the asking price.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.
Please do not contact me quoting KBB or other websites.
Please do not contact me unless you have the funds ready and are able to purchase immediately.

I will arrange PPIs at buyers expense (and reserve the right to refuse shops that i deem not trustworthy with my cars)
and would be more than happy to accommodate a fly & drive.
Closest airport to me is CMH (Port Columbus International Airport).
My last TDI with almost 200k miles went to a very happy and satisfied buyer in Texas who flew in and drove
it back (never having driven a manual car before) and averaged 56mpg all the way back ;-)

And furthermore do not forget that you should ask EVERY seller of a car listed as for sale by owner if they have the title in hand with THEIR name on it -> stopcurbstoning.com !
Report every curbstoner and dealer listing as private seller to ebay (maybe one day it will help if enough people complain) !

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network

Tue, Jul 6 2021

Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. Â“It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement.Â "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.Â” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.
