2010 Vw Golf Tdi White 3dr Manual Trans 40k Mi Sunroof 1 Owner Excellent Cond on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
Excellent TDI which I had planned to keep forever and cared for accordingly. Broke it in very gently, varying speed, short trips, no highway during break in. No door dings, perfect paint except for a few small chips due to highway use. I'll have them touched up before car is sold. Lots of washing (including underbody) during winter (only 2 winters in MN). Underneath car is perfect- no sign it has been through a MN winter- looks just like a southern, unsalted car. Never been in a carwash with brushes-- touchless or hand wash only. Always garage kept, hand waxed 2x/yr. No accidents of any kind, no body work/ paint ever. Only adult driven, by me. It is an amazing car, getting >40 mpg on the highway even with rack. Serviced by a trustworthy local VW dealer and has had all service on time. I personally verified correct oil for changes by talking with service technician and verifying full/mt bottles of Castrol LL03. Just had 40k mi service. New OEM battery because I replace them every 4 years- nothing wrong with old one New wiper blades. I have all fuel receipts. It has averaged 38 mpg for all fuel consumed. Curt trailer hitch and trailer light plug. I have only towed a tiny boat a very few times, but it tows this small boat beautifully. Towing capacity is 1000lbs and my little boat/motor/trailer is less than that. Comes with Thule rack and fairing, a bike tray and a top case. With fairing, rack is very quiet, though does cost 1-2mpg. Sunroof is still usable. Rubber VW floor mats for winter and carpet VW mats for summer. 4 winter steel wheels (VW takeoffs) with Blizzak WS70 205/55/16 tires and TPMS sensors and wheel covers. Winter tires probably have 8k mi on them, which means tires/wheels that came with car have about 32k mi. Based on how they have worn so far, I guess they have 20k mi more in them. But wait, There's more! New Frostheater which I didn't get installed last winter. Unopened CarGo things that came with mats. No idea what they do. I don't think you'll find a better TDI than this one, unless you buy a new one, which is probably really what you should do. The supply of used TDI's is always less than demand and so the used ones have very high resale value which is why I bought a new one 4 years ago. You could buy this car new for probably $26k +tax+ accessories ~$2k, if you can find a 2014. I looked really hard for a 2dr manual trans with sunroof. 2015's are due in July and will have urea injection. Yuck. I am not in any way desperate to sell this car, so it won't be a bargain. Winning the auction isn't getting first right of refusal; it is a contractual obligation to purchase the car for the agreed upon price within 7 days. If you want to come and test drive it, please do that before auction is over. If you win the auction, show up with cash or cashiers check for full purchase price or I'm not even opening the garage door. I have MN title with no liens, so purchase will be a snap, but we'll have to go to my local bank for the transaction even if you bring cash because apparently people now make fake cash that is very hard to tell from real. So that means weekday sale, probably (My bank is open Sat morning though). It is for sale other places on web and locally, so I reserve right to end auction early. |

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America'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.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
