I am offering for sale a 2010 JSW TDI DSG.
Clean and clear title in hand with MY NAME on it ! We are the 2nd owners and my wife has driven the car since i believe just under 46k miles. The first was a 74 year old local retired gentleman. i have personally driven this car to Chicago and back averaging 47MPG doing ~3mph over the speed limit. 42MPG in real world conditions are easily obtainable if you stick to Energy-efficient driving techniques. My wife does a lot of city driving and naturally refuses to obey any of my instructions on hypermiling and gets an average of around 38MPG. No repaints, accidents or bodywork of any kind. Garaged EVERY night and EVERY single day at work. The car has minor dents, dings and scratches from every day use that happened during previous owners ownership - but rest assured we are the ones ALWAYS parking furthest from the entrance of the grocery store, restaurant or any structure prone to be frequented by the careless masses. Known as a Mk6 Golf variant on the rest of the planet, but sold as the Jetta Sportwagen here in the US. If you are looking at this listing you must know how coveted these are. I will spare you the plethora of reviews that rant and rave about the superiority of the TDI wagon to any SUV when it comes to fuel economy, utilitarian value, practicality and TCO (total cost of ownership). The car has following options : - Platinum gray metallic Exterior Titan Black Interior - DVD satellite Navigation system ($1800 and worth every penny!) - Panoramic sunroof ($1300) - 6-speed DSG transmission ($1100) - 17" alloy wheels ($450) - Rear Side Airbags (rare) ($350) - Sport & Protection Rubber mats, splash guards & trunk liner ($310) - Media Device Interface for ipod ($200) all in it cost $30,559 plus tax delivered at Byers Imports in Columbus, OH. All maintenance done at local VW and Audi dealerships Byers and Hatfield, all paperwork incl. windowsticker comes with the car. After free maintenance (until 36k miles) always serviced by Jon Hamilton, a TDI-club trusted mechanic and world record holder on Pikes Peak in a 2000 Golf TDI, starting with the 40k DSG service. 2-17-2014 complete timing belt service: replaced timing belt, timing belt cover, timing belt tensioner, small top roller, small lower roller, large upper roller, water pump, serpentine belt and coolant - while the car was out of commission for a few days I went ahead and had a RocketChip Stage 1+ tune done ($1653.57) 12-2-13 60k service incl. brake fluid replacement ($224.70) (all OE parts used, german Pentosin Super Dot 4 brake fluid, etc. etc.) 11-12-2013 all tires were replaced with Continental Extreme Contact DWS All Season tires incl. discount tire free replacement certificates (works at every discount tire in the US, $701). 5-21-2013 DSG (fluid and filter) and 50k miles service ($416.33) please contact me with any serious questions. Here is a link to the picasa web album with detailed high res pics:
I also have a current carfax report if you are interested. this pic shows every tool i own in the back of the trunk. I ran out of tools before i ran out of space ;-) I will arrange PPIs at buyers expense (and reserve the right to refuse shops that i deem not trustworthy with my cars) and would be more than happy to accommodate a fly & drive. Closest airport to me is CMH (Port Columbus International Airport). My last TDI (an ALH) with almost 200k miles went to a very happy and satisfied buyer in Texas who flew in and drove it back (never having driven a manual car before) and averaged 56mpg all the way back ;-) in case you are wondering about the timing belt replacement - this was due to a roller bearing failure. as a result : - outer shell "ate" a perfect hole through the timing belt cover - something started cutting into the timing belt - all the balls from the bearing ended up in the bottom half of the timing belt cover HOWEVER no tooth was skipped, belt did not tear and no further damage - but boy what a PITA having to do the timing belt 4k miles after warranty ran out. Good news for you - the biggest maintenance item has been done. I have full documentation of the repair and the parts used and have pics of the parts in question. Especially the belt that is not torn will prove that there was no further damage. |

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
