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! |

Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus
Tue, Feb 3 2015We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.
VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
Volkswagen could build plug-in hybrids in China
Sun, Apr 6 2014When you're Europe's largest automaker and your largest global market happens to be the one most notorious for its pollution (China), some solutions just present themselves. Volkswagen may be heeding that call. During the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, the company is expected to announce plans to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, Reuters says, citing sources within the company. Few details have emerged, though the plug-ins will likely be produced at VW's Foshan factory in South China, which currently makes the Golf and Audi A3 and has plans to eventually make 600,000 vehicles annually. News has been percolating for a while, as Oliver Schmidt, general manager engineering and environmental office for Volkswagen Group of America, said last March that the company was planning at least two plug-in hybrid lines under the VW badge (and another three with its Audi and Porsche affiliates), including possibly a Touareg and Jetta PHEV. VW said late last month that it was looking to speed up development of "particularly eco-friendly models" made by Shanghai Volkswagen as well as developing a "new, very eco-friendly vehicle" with First Automotive Works (FAW). Earlier this year, VW unveiled its Golf GTE plug-in hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show. That model has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to provide 201 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The car can travel as many as 81 miles on electric power alone.
