2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen Tdi Automatic One Owner, Heated Seats on 2040-cars

Year:2011 Mileage:28000
Location:

Currently putting my beloved car up for sale. My wife and I purchased it brand in in 2011 when we moved to Boston from New York. We will be moving back to New York City for a job opportunity, so sadly, the car needs to be sold. 

The car has lived an easy life so far, we walk to work, so the car has never seen a rush hour. About 95% of the mileage is from long distance highway trip to visit family in New York and Ohio. It's a non smoker car as well. We are the original owners, and has been very well cared for (I'm an ex auto technician) and have all service documented. She drives extremely well and is the best car I've eve owned.

You can look up the specs and reviews of this car through Google, very impressive.

It comes with the original carpeted floor mats and the rubber plastic ones as well.

Comes with 2 keys fobs. The 30,000 mile service was just done, and a check over was done by Volkswagen.

The photos were taken right after I cleaned the car myself. Please know, while the car is still for sale, I may use it for chores around town. Also, the car is parked on city streets, so it's likely it won't be spotless if you want to come look at it. I can wash before you pick up.

The car has minor dings, scratches or maybe a minor minor dent on it. Mostly from small bumps from shopping carts in parking lots. Also, there's an army of homeless people that search my neighborhood in search of bottles and cans. They often bump their cars into the back of cars, please see picture of back bumper. Most of which can certainly be buffed out with ease. overall, she's a beautiful car. Please see pictures, they show the worst of the minor imperfections. 

Also, please see picture that shows between front and back passenger side doors. There is some kind of rub mark on the trim. I had the car parked for most of the summer and a branch from a tree was rubbing on it and you can see minor marks from this. I don't know what process it takes to get this out. Also look at passenger side mirror picture, the same happened here.

Also, see picture of one of the tires have a small piece missing from side wall. Likely from hitting curb. I had checked out at goodyear, and they said it's just cosmetic. But please understand I cannot guarantee this. Please check out for yourself.

The only reason I'm selling is because having a car in New York City is impracticable. I originally planned on owning her forever. 

Heated seats keep your bottom nice and warm as well.

I have all service records including the 10k, 20k, and 30k services (30K was just done). Alone with everything that car has been done.

 Vehicle carries the factory 36,000 mile warranty and 50,000 powertrain warranty, please see VW for details. This warranty is through Volkswagen, not me.

This car was purchased in Ohio and is in my wife's name. It is currently registered in Massachusetts and please understand Mass. DMV laws before buying. The vehicle does not come with plates, I will need to personally surrender them to the DMV after the sale.


  
 I have all title in hand and they is clean and free of any previous liens as pointed out on those lame car reports.

 
When you look at any vehicle, please use some basic common sense and think it over.. Do you really want the car ? Is it only about the cheapest one you can find ? Ebay bottom feeders are all over the place.. Do you really want a good car well represented or are you just trolling the bottom interested in price only ?? Or do you want a good car for a good deal that is fair to both parties. If you want a great car from a great owner at a fair price, let's talk. If you're expecting on buying then trying to haggle over petty things, please don't bother.

As someone who used to be an auto tech at a car dealership, I recommend you buy from private sellers. Carfax reports are a joke and so many cars at dealerships were damaged and they never tell you. I'm not hiding any imperfections and I'm being 100% clear about the car.

I am a private seller, but I am willing to work with your schedule and with the trucking company you desire. But keep in mind, I do have a day job, I am not a full time auto seller.

 
Also I am sorry to report that we do not have temp tags in this Massachusetts. I don't know why.

Buy is now price is below Blue Book Value. I'm doing this for quick and smooth transaction for both of us.

It also has bluetooth and xm radio.







The following pictures show the imperfections as mentioned in description:

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test

Wed, Sep 29 2021

The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
