Up for auction is my immaculate, adult-driven, nicely-modded, never-raced, never-wrecked 2004.5 Jetta GLI. I bought this car in 2008 from a dealership in Atlanta with a little over 30,000 old-lady-driven miles. Since then, it's been my daily driver for my roughly 10 mile commute to and from work, and taken on a number of regional road trips (which highway miles account for a decent percentage of the overall mileage, now a shade over 107,000).
Incredibly clean, inside and out. I detail my cars myself on a monthly basis with professional products (orbital waxer, clay barred annually, etc.). This car has almost always been garaged or under a carport (at work and home). No dings, dents, or scratches of any significance. Religiously maintained at all regular intervals by a VW specialty shop in Memphis, TN (Wolfsburg Auto). In anticipation of selling, I had my shop complete a comprehensive inspection, and repair or replace anything and everything of any material concern. They replaced the cam tensioner gasket due to a minor leak, the thermostat, and a faulty sensor. The water pump and timing belt have also been replaced in the past, as these items commonly fail at a predictable mileage on these cars. Coil packs have all been recently replaced as well. There are currently zero mechanical, electrical, or other issues, except as noted below. I have complete documentation of every repair, oil change, tire purchase, etc. from the date I purchased the car. Performance and aesthetic enhancements as follows: APR Stage II ECU AEM cold air intake with recently refreshed K&N filter Turbo-Back Milltek exhaust APR Diverter Valve Clear side lamps New rotors and pads all around (slotted and drilled in the rear) 40-50% life left on Hankook Ventus V12 tires Replaced VW center caps for BBS carbon-fiber-look center caps Thule bike rack with 2 Echeleon carriers (retail $1400), which I can include or not as desired, at no extra cost. Flaws: Former owner had no love for the front valence, so there are some scrapes and scratches in the valence, along with normal rock chips in the front bumper. A $300 re-spray of the bumper and valence would make this car look showroom new. A few virtually imperceptible scratches on the rear deck lid from the rear glass being busted by an errant golf ball. Otherwise, literally not a scratch or ding on the car anywhere. The clear coat on a couple of the wheels has naturally faded in spots over time, and the prior owner also added some curb rash. Nothing major. On the interior, the head unit (Alpine) has been glitchy lately, and probably should be replaced soon. It works just fine, but there's a loose connection somewhere that results in the LED illumination cutting in and out. The driver's side floor mat has a hole just near the gas pedal, which is purely a function of wear, and could easily be replaced. Otherwise, the interior looks as though no one has ever sat in any of the seats besides the driver's seat. No pets, no babies, no smoking. The keyless entry is occasionally slightly glitchy. It will occasionally fail to lock the rear driver's side door, but the alarm always works. I am a BMW and VW enthusiast, and I have studied the market for these cars. I can say with confidence that this is the cleanest, most pampered GLI available on the market, as most have been abused, raced, not adult-driven, modified poorly, and generally not taken care of. Potential buyers are welcome to speak to the shop that has maintained this car. I am also willing to entertain an escrow mechanism for out-of-state buyers who may need to have the car shipped, but would like to have it inspected at a shop of their choice. Happy to work with shipping companies, or arrange for local inspection or pickup. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or requests for additional pictures. I have many, and will take as many more as are requested. Payment upon close of auction must be received three (3) business days thereafter. Cashier's check or wire transfer only. Title will be signed over immediately upon receipt of payment, whether in-state or out-of-state. Thanks for looking. |

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
