 2004 Volkswagen Golf TDI PD Diesel


Up for sale is my 2004 VW Golf TDI PD. I bought this vehicle several years ago in place of a 2007 Prius. I originally sold my Prius because despite it being a great vehicle, this actually got better fuel economy and was by far more fun to drive. I purchased it at that time with a salvage title with approximately 60k miles. I am a certified ASE Master Tech and have performed all maintenance myself. It has had religious oil changes as are recommended with the higher end and rare PD engine. Always using oil that is 505.01 spec , Pentosin Brand to be specific. During the time I have had the car I have made some tweaks. It currently sits on Porsche 911 Twist style wheels ($700), has Bilstein Performance Shocks and Struts ($600), H&R Lowering Springs ($300), Seibon Carbon Hood custom painted to match with Aerocatch hood latches ($2,000), MK5 R32 Style Front End ($400), Euro Glass Headlights ($250), Leather Seat Conversion from MK4 Jetta with Power Front Seats ($800), Pre Wire for Escort/Valentine One Radar Detector, Black Headliner and several other small bits done here and there. This is the only year of the Golf MK4 which offered the higher output TDI PD engine as well. My main reason for buying this specific car.

 Unfortunately, last month on my way to work, a gentleman decided to make a left from the oncoming lane into the drivers rear door. This pushed me off the road somewhat and caused the shown body damage.

At this time, the front bumper has a crack in the lower lip, right front fender lightly dented, drivers door scratched, drivers rear door is dented and would need replacement unless you are handy with body work, the left C Pillar area is dented and will require body work to repair and the rear bumper cover is torn. Obviously, the left rear wheel is scuffed however still spins straight. I have already picked the vehicle up and checked underbody for damage and found none aside from alignment being needed now due to the total toe being out of spec on the rear and steering slightly off center from the left side wheel impact. Obviously as you can see from the inside, I have taken very good care of the car. Im in many ways sad to see it go however I frankly do not have the time right now to repair it and need the funds for much more important manners (ill family).

It regularly got 40+MPG often returning 600 Plus miles per tank. Prior to the accident, it didn't have any mechanical issues. In fact, after the accident I drove it for another week until I was able to finish engine work on my other vehicle. It is driveable in this condition should you not want to perform the body repairs BUT an alignment WILL be needed to correct the rear toe.

KBB on the vehicle places its value currently at $8,131. Given the fact that I could part it out for a substantial amount im not looking for lowballs despite the body damage. For anyone in the body repair field, this would be an excellent deal. If you have any questions please email, or text 828 275 9681 and I will be more than happy to send additional photos, answer questions, etc. Title is in hand.

In general, I will not ship this. If you need it shipped, you are free to make arrangements and I will work with your shipper when they come to get it. I will only accept cashiers check (certified funds) or cash in person, cash preferably.


Thank you for your time.

VW offers to buy back new diesels if bans introduced

Thu, Mar 29 2018

By Maria Sheahan FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen will buy back new diesel cars if German cities ban them, it said on Thursday, seeking to reassure potential buyers and stem a plunge in sales of diesel vehicles. Europe's biggest automaker also said it would extend incentives for buyers of new diesel cars. The moves come after a German court ruled last month that cities in the country could ban the most polluting diesel vehicles from their streets. Many German cities exceed European Union limits on atmospheric nitrogen oxide, known to cause respiratory diseases. Fears of bans have led to a plunge in demand for diesel vehicles, which are also key to carmakers' attempts to meet new EU rules on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While diesel cars are heavily criticized for emitting nitrogen oxide, they spew out less CO2 than gasoline equivalents. Diesel car sales plunged 19 percent in Germany last month. At its core VW brand, Volkswagen said its buyback offer applied to new diesels bought between April 1 and the end of 2018 and would kick in if the city in which the buyer lived or worked banned diesels within three years of the purchase. It said its dealerships would buy back diesel vehicles affected by bans at their current value if their owners at the same time bought a new vehicle that was not affected by cities' driving restrictions. At Czech brand Skoda, the guarantee applies to cars bought between April 1 and the end of June, but will cover bans introduced within four years of the purchase date. At premium brand Audi, the offer only covers leased vehicles. Volkswagen also said it was extending to the end of June incentives for customers trading in older diesels for new ones. Fellow German carmaker BMW said earlier this month it would offer to take back leased vehicles if diesels were banned within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the operator's home or place of work. There has been a global backlash against diesel-engine cars since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to cheating U.S. exhaust tests. But Germany's government is seeking to avoid widespread bans on heavily polluting diesel vehicles, which companies say could cut the resale value of up to 15 million vehicles in Europe's biggest car market. In Germany, where motorists expect to drive powerful cars on motorways with no speed limits, any restrictions will be unpopular.

Vahland leaving VW over dispute on how to run NA region

Wed, Oct 14 2015

On November 1, Winfried Vahland was supposed to take over Volkswagen Group's recently created North American region that combines Canada, the US, and Mexico. But the longtime exec has instead decided to leave the automaker after a dispute over how to manage the new combined region. Vahland is currently the boss at Skoda, and in a statement about his departure the Czech company said: "Differing views on the organization of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines." Vahland is leaving at his own request, the announcement says. Vahland was appointed to run to North American region during VW's massive corporate shakeup on September 25. The decision was part of the automaker's plan to put a greater emphasis on regions and brands, rather than on centralized authority. According to Automotive News Europe citing a report from Germany's Auto Bild, Vahland was passed over for the CEO job, with Matthias Muller taking that position. Amidst the changes, Michael Horn remained at the helm of Volkswagen Group of America, reporting to the new regional boss. Vahland joined the automaker in 1990 and started running VW's operations in China in 2005. He became boss at Skoda in 2010. "In the last 25 years, Prof. Vahland made a great contribution to the company. We respect his decision and thank him for his exceptional performance," Muller said in the departure announcement. Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group 14.10.2015 Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group Mlada Boleslav, 14 October 2015 – After 25 years of successful work in Volkswagen Group, most recently as Chairman of SKODA, Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland is leaving the company at his own request. Prof. Vahland will therefore not be taking up the position of overall responsibility for the North American Region (NAR). Differing views on the organisation of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines. Prof. Vahland began his work in Volkswagen Group in 1990. After holding several key positions at home and abroad, he took over Group responsibility as President and CEO of Volkswagen in China in 2005 and contributed significantly to the successful new direction of Volkswagen in China. He was appointed Chairman of the Board of Management of SKODA in 2010.

Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035

Tue, Jun 21 2022

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.
