Selling a 2001 VW GTI. Black with black leather. 1.8 liter turbo motor, with automatic transmission. This is the GLS model (mid level I believe). It does have all of the power options, minus power seats. Has the power glass sunroof, AC, power steering, ABS, airbags and all that good stuff.

The good: timing belt was done at 115k miles. At that time, water pump, tensioner and head gasket were replaced. At 124k miles, the transmission was replaced with a very clean, used unit from a 68k mile car (I may still have the invoice for that somewhere). Turbo was replaced at the same time with a used unit. Interior is in overall good shape. Leather is in good condition. Exterior isn't bad either. Car is overall clean.

The bad: the car has a few bumps and bruises, normally associated with older cars like this one. You can see in the pics that the glove compartment is broken (common among MK4 VW's), inside passenger door handle came off, interior trim tape is peeling (on the roof liner, by passenger window), and a dent on the left front fender where paint is cracking. There is a leak (I believe coolant) at or around the turbo area. We believe one of the hoses has a pin hole or something. Leaves a little spot on the driveway sometimes. We top off the coolant once every 2 weeks or so. Also drips oil from the same general area sometimes, overnight. Not a lot, but it does do it sometimes. We think it may be one of the copper crush washers on one of the turbo oil lines. Check engine light is on because secondary O2 sensor isn't in the exhaust pipe. Needs to be screwed in and harness connector snapped on. The check engine light is on for this issue only. This may be done by the time the car is picked up.

Things that need to be addressed: The water and oil leaks should be looked at, but the car does run and drive, and we do drive it to and from work. The car is registered and insured, and we do use it. The front control arm bushings may need to be replaced (another common issue with VW's). The bushings are cheap. We just haven't gotten around to doing them. It also needs 1 tire. I do have the 4th aluminum wheel, which will be included with the sale, but that tire is no good, hence the spare on the car. Interior trim mentioned can use some love, but the car can be driven the way it is.

So here you have a car that can be running perfectly for a few bucks, or if you are a mechanic, can have this in top condition for next to nothing.

Not sure what else to write here. The car is ready to go, with clear NJ title in hand. Come with cash if you want, and drive it home the same day. The car is at my sister's house, in Woodbridge, NJ.

Car is sold as-is (because they don't warranty 12 year old cars). No reserve auction, and I put a buy it now on there as well. Bid away, but use buy it now if you don't want to risk somebody buying this out from under you.

Thanks for looking!!

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power

Thu, Feb 27 2014

No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show

Mon, Nov 17 2014

Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? Â– and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
