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!

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013


Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
