2004 Vw Golf Tdi 4 Door 5 Speed 90k Miles Diesel From Militant Non Smoker on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:90654
Location:

Columbus, Ohio, United States

Columbus, Ohio, United States

from a private seller with clean and clear title in hand (with my name on it):

a 2004 VW Golf TDI - 2 owners, first was a friend of mine that got a job in Luxemburg and could only take one of his two TDIs - all records incl. maintenance and repair records come with the car.
Unfortunately my friend lost the window sticker.

This car is pretty rare in it's configuration - 5 speed, black matrix interior and NO SUNROOF !
This gives tall people an enormous advantage due to more headroom.
This car has never ever been smoked in !
Garaged every night until recently when it had to make room for the new car.
Still garaged every day at work.
100% stock except for EGR Delete and Rocket Chip Stage 1+.
The motivation for the chip was only to gain fuel economy and to enable the EGR delete,
this car was never raced or abused.

The car has 90k miles on it and it just received the 80k service incl. the complete timing belt service (timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt rollers (X3), metal impeller water pump, serpentine belt, G12 coolant) and new rear brakes (rotors and pads) from Jon Hamilton. The EGR delete and rocket chip were done at the same time.
This recent service (parts and labor) carries a 24 month and 24k mile warranty and cost ~$2300.
The car also just received a brand new fender at a VW / Audi certified body shop which was covered by VW's 12 year corrosion warranty.

In the last months i drove the car to Cincinnati and Chicago and averaged 49 mpg driving ~5 mph over speed limit.
>50 mpg without AC or cruise using standard hyper mile-ing techniques are easily obtainable.
I have managed to average 52 mpg over an entire month with a lot of long distance driving,
i never over inflate tires or any other non sense like that which sacrifices safety for a few mpg.

The car runs great, will meet for test drive and all records will go with car.
It has some dents, dings and scratches - mostly from parking incidents but is well worth the asking price.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.
Please do not contact me quoting KBB or other websites.
Please do not contact me unless you have the funds ready and are able to purchase immediately.

I will arrange PPIs at buyers expense (and reserve the right to refuse shops that i deem not trustworthy with my cars)
and would be more than happy to accommodate a fly & drive.
Closest airport to me is CMH (Port Columbus International Airport).
My last TDI with almost 200k miles went to a very happy and satisfied buyer in Texas who flew in and drove
it back (never having driven a manual car before) and averaged 56mpg all the way back ;-)

And furthermore do not forget that you should ask EVERY seller of a car listed as for sale by owner if they have the title in hand with THEIR name on it -> stopcurbstoning.com !
Report every curbstoner and dealer listing as private seller to ebay (maybe one day it will help if enough people complain) !

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
