For your consideration:

2010 VW GTI, 4 Door with DSG (dual clutch) transmission. 6 Disc stereo that will also attach / control your iPod. There is an Aux-in (3.5mm) jack as well as bluetooth phone and bluetooth audio streaming. 

I bought this car in California as a Certified Pre-Owned car 3 years ago. The CPO warranty is transferrable and goes to 60k miles. When I was looking for GTIs to buy, I was convinced I needed the 6MT variant, but then I drove the DSG and the rest was history. This transmission is brilliant--I've never had a car shift so quickly and smoothly. With the paddle shifters and sport steering wheel, the car is a ton of fun to drive.

The title is clean and clear, in-hand. I have NEVER had a problem with this car except for a window switch that got stuck (my own doing). It has been flawless and was even on the cover of Consumer Reports in 2010.

The car is up to date on major services and just had the oil changed about a month ago. The service interval on oil changes is 10K so the new owner is set for a while.

No accidents or paint work. The car does have a couple of door dings (I have kids) and the wheels have some rash (I have a wife); otherwise, it's in great shape. I just put a K&N filter in recently and upgraded the engine coils from the stock parts to Audi R8 coils because they're far better.

The tires are Falken ZIEX all season tires that've been siped for better winter traction. I have an extra set of summer wheels (Audi 6-spoke) and tires if you're interested. I'll throw those in for free but you might have a hard time getting them home--I don't think they'll fit in the car.

TWO MORE "EXTRAS":

1. APR tuned. . . there are 4 different modes to pick from. Stock tune, 91 Octane (about 260HP), 93 Octane (about 290HP) and 100 Octane (over 300HP). You can pick among these tunes by pushing the buttons on the cruise control stalk. There are no added parts or controllers to worry about--the upgrade is seamless and brilliant. It was truly the best upgrade money I've ever spent and is entirely safe for the engine, transmission, etc. 

2. Currently there is a 12" Cerwin Vega sub and amp in the trunk. The subwoofer box is easily removable (about 10 seconds) so you can have more storage space in the back. Or, I'm happy to just pull the gear out before you take delivery. Keeping this stereo set-up is your choice.


Lastly, the car has the all weather honeycomb floor mats that show some signs of wear; however, I have a set set of carpeted mats BRAND NEW, IN THE PACKAGE, that come with the car.

If you have any questions, please email me and I'll get back to you. PLEASE DON'T EMAIL ME LOW-BALL OFFERS. I've heard it all before, fellas, and I'm not going to give this car away.



DELIVERY:

I live 10 minutes from Salt Lake International and would be happy to pick you up in the car, do the deal, and get you on your way in a very quick manner. My day job is flexible and I can work around you.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

VW stock plummets as Euro markets open

Mon, Sep 21 2015

The fallout from Volkswagen's installation of an emissions "defeat device" on nearly 500,000 diesel-fueled models in the US is already hitting the automaker hard on the German stock exchange. At one point, the share price plummeted 23 percent to erase the equivalent of $17.6 billion in value. Things eventually bounced back slightly to a still severe 19.23 percent loss, according to Bloomberg as of this writing. The scandal couldn't come at a worse time for chairman Martin Winterkorn. The VW supervisory board takes up the issue of renewing his contract on September 25, Bloomberg reports. If things get bad enough, the door could be open for a new boss to step in. Dealers in the US might start feeling the pain from this, as well. Affected 2015 VWs that are still at showrooms are now under a stop sale. Until the issue is straightened out, the Environmental Protection Agency isn't certifying the company's 2016 diesel models with the 2.0 TDI, either. The diesel emissions problem was first discovered by research from West Virginia University and the International Council on Clean Transportation. In some cases, the engines can produce 40 times more nitrogen oxides than allowed. The automaker could be on the hook for $18 billion in fines for the breach, but the actual figure is expected to be lower. In response, Winterkorn has issued a public apology and ordered an independent investigation into what happened. The EPA and California Air Resources Board have also been looking into the situation. This could become an international problem, though. According to The Detroit News, European authorities might begin similar inquires to check the automaker's diesel emissions there.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
