2010 Vw Golf Tdi White 3dr Manual Trans 40k Mi Sunroof 1 Owner Excellent Cond on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
Excellent TDI which I had planned to keep forever and cared for accordingly. Broke it in very gently, varying speed, short trips, no highway during break in. No door dings, perfect paint except for a few small chips due to highway use. I'll have them touched up before car is sold. Lots of washing (including underbody) during winter (only 2 winters in MN). Underneath car is perfect- no sign it has been through a MN winter- looks just like a southern, unsalted car. Never been in a carwash with brushes-- touchless or hand wash only. Always garage kept, hand waxed 2x/yr. No accidents of any kind, no body work/ paint ever. Only adult driven, by me. It is an amazing car, getting >40 mpg on the highway even with rack. Serviced by a trustworthy local VW dealer and has had all service on time. I personally verified correct oil for changes by talking with service technician and verifying full/mt bottles of Castrol LL03. Just had 40k mi service. New OEM battery because I replace them every 4 years- nothing wrong with old one New wiper blades. I have all fuel receipts. It has averaged 38 mpg for all fuel consumed. Curt trailer hitch and trailer light plug. I have only towed a tiny boat a very few times, but it tows this small boat beautifully. Towing capacity is 1000lbs and my little boat/motor/trailer is less than that. Comes with Thule rack and fairing, a bike tray and a top case. With fairing, rack is very quiet, though does cost 1-2mpg. Sunroof is still usable. Rubber VW floor mats for winter and carpet VW mats for summer. 4 winter steel wheels (VW takeoffs) with Blizzak WS70 205/55/16 tires and TPMS sensors and wheel covers. Winter tires probably have 8k mi on them, which means tires/wheels that came with car have about 32k mi. Based on how they have worn so far, I guess they have 20k mi more in them. But wait, There's more! New Frostheater which I didn't get installed last winter. Unopened CarGo things that came with mats. No idea what they do. I don't think you'll find a better TDI than this one, unless you buy a new one, which is probably really what you should do. The supply of used TDI's is always less than demand and so the used ones have very high resale value which is why I bought a new one 4 years ago. You could buy this car new for probably $26k +tax+ accessories ~$2k, if you can find a 2014. I looked really hard for a 2dr manual trans with sunroof. 2015's are due in July and will have urea injection. Yuck. I am not in any way desperate to sell this car, so it won't be a bargain. Winning the auction isn't getting first right of refusal; it is a contractual obligation to purchase the car for the agreed upon price within 7 days. If you want to come and test drive it, please do that before auction is over. If you win the auction, show up with cash or cashiers check for full purchase price or I'm not even opening the garage door. I have MN title with no liens, so purchase will be a snap, but we'll have to go to my local bank for the transaction even if you bring cash because apparently people now make fake cash that is very hard to tell from real. So that means weekday sale, probably (My bank is open Sat morning though). It is for sale other places on web and locally, so I reserve right to end auction early. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch
Mon, Jul 14 2014Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
