2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI


Background / History

I am the original owner.  
I purchased the car on December 31, 2010 from Mike Raisor Imports in Lafayette, Indiana.  
This car has been my primary transportation for my 48-mile (one way) commute to work since I purchased it.
I really like this car but will be driving my truck for work purposes now.
If I was to buy another small car right now, it would probably be another Golf TDI just like this one.


The Car's Life / Condition

The car doesn't know what a cigarette is - it has never been smoked in at any time.
The car has never been used to transport pets of any kind.  
It has never been wrecked in any way.
I don't drive it hard although it is an excellent handling car.
I don't hypermile it - it gets great mileage all on its own.
More on mileage - If you're looking at this car, you probably have already done the research on fuel economy - it is outstanding.  I typically average 48+ on during warmer months and a few mpg less during winter (due to winter fuel blend).  Trips exceeding 50 mpg have been common.
The interior is in excellent condition.  Only interior blemishes I know of are small scratches in the plastic at the rear hatchback (visualize sliding something into the back of the car).  
The exterior is in very good condition.  There are only three exterior blemishes that I know of - a door ding, rock ding in the hood, and a small crack in a headlight cover from a rock (see photos).    

 
Maintenance

All maintenance on the car has been performed either by Mike Raisor Imports (the dealer I bought it from) or by me.  
I have records of these services, including photographs (when I did the work).  

The brakes are original and don't squeak, pull, shake, etc.  To answer a common question, I don't know how much life is left in the brakes - they will need to be replaced at some point.  I don't drive the car hard (my truck has over 160k on the original brakes).


Extras

I have an extra set of aluminum wheels with Michelin X-ICE snow tires, purchased through TireRack for about $1000.  The car doesn't drive poorly in the snow even without the snow tires, but I am a big believer in them - a lot cheaper than a wreck.  The snow tires are included in the auction.  

I have about $150 worth of oil and filters which I will include with the car.  This includes 10 quarts (or the metric approximate) of the VW approved synthetic oil, oil filters (at least 4), a fuel filter, air filter, & cabin air filter.
  

Shipping / Payment

A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of winning the bid.
Shipping is not included in the purchase price of the car.  The winning bidder is responsible for delivery / pick-up of the car.
A bank check or cash is acceptable payment.  Your payment will need to clear before I release the car and sign the title over.

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales

Sun, Nov 27 2016

Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.

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.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
