2004 Volkswagen Golf R32 Hatchback 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
United States
|
Truth be told, the first generation R32, arguably is one of the best hot hatches ever made. Being a Volkswagen enthusiast at heart and having owned a Corrado VR6, an Audi B5 S4, multiple supercharged and turbo MK2's and MK3's, along with other muscle cars and tuner cars, I can confidentally say that nothing compares to driving an R32. Every component designed and engineered on this vehicle is exceptional. It took me over a year to locate this exact vehicle with all the specs I was looking for. I can't believe I am selling one of my favorite all-time cars. Reason for selling is that I got engaged last month and my fiancee and I are planning a wedding. Hate to sell it, but funds have to come out of somewhere. Also, I am only driving the R32 on weekends since I am always in NYC on weekdays. Im sure someone would get better use out of the R32. Car comes with a clear history and clean title. It has been washed, waxed and detailed every weekend with Zymol products ever since I bought it. Never raced, tracked, abused, and always garaged when not in use. Maintenance wise, this car needs nothing. It is a turn-key vehicle, no check-engine light, no lights on the cluster for that matter. All electronics work, sunroof, windows, seats etc. Car is basically stock except for the well known "flapper mod". It also has oem upgraded lighting components that I purchased from Craft 42 designs. When I bought the car, I had it inspected at my shop inside and out. I did an oil change (Mobil 1), oem front rotors and pads (ECS Tuning), oem plugs and wires (VW Parts), replaced the 2 front axles, and 2 rear wheel bearings and an awd wheel alignment. Car rides, sounds, and feels superb. The handling, acceleration, and dual exhaust 3.2 VR6 is intoxicating and the new owner should bid/buy with confidence. The car has 103,399 miles on it. I have never had a problem with the car since I've owned it. Engine is in top notch condition, AWD Haldex is in perfect shape, the 6 spd transmission shifts smoothly and never grinds. Suspension is in great condition as well as all braking components. Paint is in amazing condition and has a beautiful shine. Tires have tons of tread left. Car also comes with All Leather Koenig 5000's seats. By far, the best seats for driving, period. I encourage for the interested buyer to come and view the vehicle before bidding/purchasing it through ebay. There will be no negotiation, as these cars are becoming rarer by the day especially unmolested R32s. I feel it is better to pay more for a solid trouble free car than pay less for a car that needs work or can potentially need work shortly down the road which can ultimately cost you more in the long haul. This R32 has a long life ahead. Whatever your goals are with this car, rest assured it is a safe bet. With the purchase of the car, I will include a stock 225/40/18 tire, a used European fog light switch, and a new European Rear Fog light kit (ECS Tuning). R32 comes with the stock manual/book along with 1 FOB Key, wheel lock set/oem socket. Buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery or if buyer pays for shipping, I can accommodate for date/pickup. No warranties expressed or implied. $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction and full payment/pickup of vehicle within 7 days of auction. Any questions about the vehicle, feel free to ask. Thank you, good luck bidding, and bid with confidence! |

VW recalls 25k Jettas over low-beam headlight issue
Wed, Dec 31 2014Volkswagen has discovered an issue with the headlamps on its latest Jetta and is issuing a recall notice in conjunction with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to correct the issue. The problem revolves around the headlight control module, which has been found in certain instances to switch off the low-beam headlights when the high beams are turned on. Needless to say, that could result in insufficient illumination in the dark, so VW is moving to update the module's software. The issue only affects the new 2015 Jetta – specifically those manufactured between July 11, 2014 (which just happens to be this writer's birthday, thank you very much) and November 13, 2014. All in all, the Volkswagen Group of America estimates that encompasses 25,007 units in the United States, the owners of which can expect to hear from their dealers in the new year. RECALL Subject : Insufficient Headlight Output Report Receipt Date: DEC 15, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V790000 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING Potential Number of Units Affected: 25,007 All Products Associated with this Recall close VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2015 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured July 11, 2014, to November 13, 2014. Due to incorrect software within the headlight control module, the low beam headlights may turn off when high beam lights are turned on. As a result, the light output from the headlights may be insufficient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." CONSEQUENCE: Insufficient headlight output may increase the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the headlight control module software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 57F6. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
New investor allows Suzuki to fend off VW
Tue, Aug 4 2015After years of legal wrangling, the long-soured partnership between Volkswagen and Suzuki looks finally to be coming out of arbitration, according to Bloomberg. As a sign of the Japanese brand's improved fortunes, hedge fund Third Point LLC recently bought an undisclosed stake in the company. The investor reported seeing a major opportunity in the successful Maruti Suzuki business in India. As an investment, the only major problem that Third Point found with Suzuki was its legal battle with VW. "The company's greatest asset is its low-cost manufacturing process for vehicles for the emerging market consumer," the fund said in a letter, according to Bloomberg. Third Point reportedly also wants a seat on Suzuki's board, despite being a minority shareholder. The alliance between Suzuki and VW goes back to late 2009. In the deal, the Japanese brand was meant to get access to cutting-edge tech, and the German firm got a helping hand towards better establishing itself in India and Southeast Asia. Things didn't go as planned, though. Less than two years later, Suzuki's boss publicly derided the deal. Eventually, the allegations started going back and forth, and the two have been working out a way to untangle practically ever since. Among the biggest issue has been how to get back the 19.9 percent stake that VW purchased. According to Bloomberg, the arbitration is now technically over. With the divorce nearly final, the two sides are just waiting on a decision on how to split things up. Suzuki may even just buy VW's stake to get the shares back.
Audi buys Ballard fuel cell patents for $80 million
Wed, Feb 11 2015While some auto companies (e.g., Toyota and Hyundai) are giving away some hydrogen fuel cell patents, others are paying a pretty penny to gain access to the H2 tech. Audi announced today that it has purchased a suite of fuel-cell patent from Ballard Power Systems. The deal between Volkswagen Group and the Canadian fuel cell pioneer is worth over $80 million US. Unsurprisingly, the value of Ballard's stock shot up about a dollar (to $2.61 as of this writing) on the announcement. VW and Ballard will also extend their development agreement, originally scheduled to end in 2017, to March 2019, and possibly another two years after that. Thus far, the deal – which revolves around the "design and manufacture of next-generation fuel cell stacks" for VW's H2 demonstration program – and Ballard says it is a leader in "critical areas of fuel cell product design – including the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), plate and stack components – along with certain testing and integration work." At the LA Auto Show last fall, VW showed off a Golf SportWagen and a Passat with a hydrogen hybrid HyMotion powertrain as well as a Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron Quattro. Audi buys fuel-cell patents from Ballard Power Systems Development agreement with Ballard extended until 2019 Audi's Head of Development Prof. Hackenberg: "The entire VW Group will use these patents." Ingolstadt/Burnaby, February 11, 2015 – AUDI AG has acquired a package of patents relating to fuel-cell technology from Ballard Power Systems Inc. In addition, the Volkswagen Group has extended its cooperation with the Canadian clean energy company until 2019. The purchase of these patents will provide new impetus for the development of fuel-cell drive systems at Audi, VW and the Volkswagen Group. As explained by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG and responsible for the steering of the development departments of all brands in the VW Group: "Audi is acquiring these strategically important patents for the entire group and will make them available to all the brands. In this way, we are securing crucial expertise that will provide new impetus for the further development of this technology." Ballard Power Systems Inc. is based in Burnaby, Canada, and is one of the world's leading companies in the technology of proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
