I've decided to list my 2009 GTI for sale, its an awesome little car, but I've discovered I really don't like making a car payment, and think I'm going to go back to an older BMW. I believe I am the third owner. The first owner leased the car, and the second bought it for his daughter who drove it for a couple years before shipping off to college.
The car is in great shape mechanically and cosmetically, with 62,xxx miles on it. The mileage will go up slightly as I'm still commuting ~30 miles/day in it. Its United Gray over the Plaid cloth, optioned with the DSG, Sunroof, Heated Seats, 18" Huff Wheels, and Premium sound. The only options it doesn't have are Leather and Navigation. The 2009 cars are a bit of an oddball, with the MKV body and interior, but the updated TSI motor currently sold in the MKVIs. The biggest issue cosmetic issue is 2 of the wheels have somewhat significant curbing.
Recent Maintenance:
-58,xxx miles
--New Tires/Alignment
--New Rear Pads/Rotors (fronts are still have 80%+)
--Seafoam Treatment in crank, fuel and intake
--Oil Change w/Factory Oil and Filter, ECS Magnetic Drain Plug
--New Air Filter
--New Cabin Air Filter
--New Spark Plugs
The DSG Mechatronics unit was recalled at 14k miles and was replaced at a VW dealership. They gave it a transferrable, extended warranty until 2019 or 100k miles, so you don't have to worry about one of the biggest concerns with buying a DSG car. Interestingly enough the 3rd taillight has the same extended warranty, not sure why they needed to recall that...
The car also received a full paint correction around 58k. The factory iPod Dock fried itself a couple weeks after I bought the car, so I replaced it with a simple Grom Audio unit.
It will also come with a set of Monster mats that have been used for less than 1000 miles, a heavy duty cargo liner, a set of paddle shifter extenders that didn't work for me and my long fingers, and a vial of factory touch up paint.
The car is completely 100% stock, save for a few software mods using VCDS (factory Volkswagen Diagnostic Software). I turned on the Emergency Flasher function that flashes the hazards when you activate the ABS, the remote windows down/up feature, and made a long press of the trunk button release the hatch.
In the interest of full disclosure, the car currently has a CEL with the dreaded code P2015 which is due to the electronically controlled flap in the intake manifold. The car is not displaying any of the symptoms of the flap actually malfunctioning (lower fuel economy, reduce performance, rough cold idle), its just the CEL currently.
I have the replacement part on order and will be installing it this week, however, if someone would like to install it themselves, we can work that into our price. With the manifold replaced, my asking price is $15,500 OBO. This is an extremely nice, well optioned, completely stock and unmolested, well maintained example of a GTI.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens
Thu, Sep 24 2015Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies
Tue, Jun 16 2015The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
