For almost 3 years this has been my personal GTI. I purchased the GTI with only 19xxx miles, like all my cars from an insurance auction. At the time the car replaced my 2006 GTI which one of my best friends wanted. However, like all my personal cars (Porsche Carrera, Lotus Elise) they don't get driven much and mostly sit in the garage. When I first bought the GTI and fixed it I drove her nearly everyday. When I purchased my 2011 Golf TDI the GTI was parked and only driven when the VA State inspection was due. One year later I sold my Golf TDI and purchased a 2012 Passat TDI. Most of these cars I sell after a year so and move up to a newer model. Not so with my GTI here. I kept it because it is fully loaded.....I mean fully loaded!!! The GTI has Navigation,
Leather interior,
Heated seats,
Moon roof,
Xenon headlights,
Multi function steering wheel, 2013 upgrade with module and programming. Works flawless!!!

The damage to the GTI when I bought it was to the right rear. I included a photo!! I replaced the rear subframe and all the suspension arms in the right rear. I also replaced the rear section of the rocker panel and 2 of the rims on the right side. The tires are brand new and have less than 1000 miles on them. My GTI is also lowered with the German Eibach springs all around. An alignment was done of course and the GTI drives candle straight. There was no damage at all the front of left side of the car. ( There is a photo included showing the GTI the way I bought it. The steering wheel was brand new with airbag, purchased for a 2013 GTI. I also replaced the steering module which needed to be done to make the 2013 Steering wheel function buttons work on an 2009. The module was professionally programmed and married to the car. All the buttons work except the phone button since the 2009 doesn't have the phone feature build in. The battery is also less than a month old!! Everything is full working condition. Ice cold AC, heat works as it should and so is everything else. The tinted windows were done by the previous owner and were already like that when I bought the GTI. The GTI has a 6-speed manual transmission and at 24xxx miles is not even broke in yet. Despite me owning my own shop, I take all my new Volkswagens to the dealer for service. That is because the car was still under warranty when I bought it and Volkswagen was during the all the services and recalls. I have the receipt for the last service done in Virginia Beach at Checkered Flag Volkswagen. It comes with the original books and manuals. Also has the Original Volkswagen GTI monster mats and the Gorilla trunk mat upgrade from Volkswagen. The reason I'm finally selling the GTI is because I purchased a 2013 GTI with only 6xxx miles that is also fully loaded. Yes, I buy all my personal vehicles from insurance auctions. The reason for that is, When you buy a used car at any used car dealership or private customer you should ask yourself why are they selling a car that young if they have no problems with it!! When I buy a damaged car from an insurance auction I know it's there because the insurance company paid the previous owner off rather than fixing the car. Had they not been in an accident with it they'd probably still have the car today!!!
The GTI is completely restored to normal, there are NO WARNING LIGHTS ON!!! As with all our restored late-model cars, when the repairs were completed the GTI was inspected by an authorized inspector of the DMV. No aftermarket parts were used!!! The GTI runs and drives perfectly and there are no flaws. There are no parts missing, I replace every screw and every clip, no matter how small -- to fully restore the GTI to previous condition!! I had no means of selling any time soon when I first purchased the GTI. We do accept certain trades ins but only Mercedes Benz, Mini Cooper, or Volkswagen 2011 and newer. We will supply temporary plates should you decide to fly in and drive the GTI home.

    I'm open for all reasonable offers in case you don't like to wait for the auction to end!!

This GTI has been completely restored and has passed a Virginia Salvage Inspection.



 


THIS JETTA HAS NOW A CLEAR TITLE THAT REQUIRES NO ADDITIONAL STEPS AT THE DMV.

                                                 Check my other auctions because we have many other cars for sale!!

If I get a reasonable offer before the auction ends I will cancel all bids and sell the car. It is also for sale on our lot. If this is something you're interested in, don't wait for the auction because many of my listed cars sell before the actual auction ends!!!

Recharge Wrap-up: VW Golf TDI wins green car award, DC buses might go electric

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI has won the award for 2014 Northwest Green Car or the Year. The distinction comes from the Northwest Automotive Press Association during its Drive Revolution event in Portland. Co-chairman of the event, Jeff Zurschmeide, says, "Volkswagen has led the diesel passenger car market for years, and the Golf TDI proves that they're likely to stay on top for a while." The 2015 Golf TDI has 10 more horsepower than the outgoing model, while improving fuel economy thanks to a new engine. It also has a base price $3,000 lower than the 2014 Golf TDI.

The laser lights use half the energy of their LED counterparts, according to BMW, which is important when one is trying to get every last bit of range out of the car's battery. The laser high beams can also reach about twice as far as LED lighting. Because of their brightness, they won't be available on cars sold in the US. In laser-equipped i8s, the laser high beams will not work below 60 kilometers per hour, nor when other lights are detected in front of the vehicle. Head to Automotive News Europe to read more. Renault has delivered a fleet of 30 Kangoo ZEs to Uruguay's government-owned power company, UTE. The electric fleet will allow the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 36 metric tons, says Renault. 84 percent of Uruguay's electricity comes from renewable sources, with a goal of 90 percent on the horizon. Uruguay aims to get a third of its electricity from wind farms by 2016, meaning these Kangoo ZEs will be powered in no small part by renewable energy. For Renault, "This order is a further sign of the interest in the region for electric vehicles," according to Denis Barbier, Renault's senior vice president, citing previous deliveries in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.

Some of the diesel buses, which were first put to work in 2003, are nearing the end of their life cycle, and DC sees an opportunity to make the switch to something a little greener. "Electric has not been a viable option in previous procurements, but now it is," says Will Handsfield, Georgetown Business Improvement District's transportation director. Handsfield is concerned about air quality, and says he also appreciates the long-term stability of electric rates compared to diesel.

Vahland leaving VW over dispute on how to run NA region

Wed, Oct 14 2015

On November 1, Winfried Vahland was supposed to take over Volkswagen Group's recently created North American region that combines Canada, the US, and Mexico. But the longtime exec has instead decided to leave the automaker after a dispute over how to manage the new combined region. Vahland is currently the boss at Skoda, and in a statement about his departure the Czech company said: "Differing views on the organization of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines." Vahland is leaving at his own request, the announcement says. Vahland was appointed to run to North American region during VW's massive corporate shakeup on September 25. The decision was part of the automaker's plan to put a greater emphasis on regions and brands, rather than on centralized authority. According to Automotive News Europe citing a report from Germany's Auto Bild, Vahland was passed over for the CEO job, with Matthias Muller taking that position. Amidst the changes, Michael Horn remained at the helm of Volkswagen Group of America, reporting to the new regional boss. Vahland joined the automaker in 1990 and started running VW's operations in China in 2005. He became boss at Skoda in 2010. "In the last 25 years, Prof. Vahland made a great contribution to the company. We respect his decision and thank him for his exceptional performance," Muller said in the departure announcement. Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group 14.10.2015 Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group Mlada Boleslav, 14 October 2015 – After 25 years of successful work in Volkswagen Group, most recently as Chairman of SKODA, Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland is leaving the company at his own request. Prof. Vahland will therefore not be taking up the position of overall responsibility for the North American Region (NAR). Differing views on the organisation of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines. Prof. Vahland began his work in Volkswagen Group in 1990. After holding several key positions at home and abroad, he took over Group responsibility as President and CEO of Volkswagen in China in 2005 and contributed significantly to the successful new direction of Volkswagen in China. He was appointed Chairman of the Board of Management of SKODA in 2010.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market

Wed, Oct 30 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
