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.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
