Hello and welcome to my auction. Here we have a Volkswagen Golf GTI GLX in Satin Silver Metallic with Black Leather Interior. This is a true German built machine. Most of the MK4 models are produced in Brazil, even the special edition models. The color of this car is awesome! The pearl in the paint looks gold during the day and blue during the night. My wife is the second owner of this vehicle and it has been very well maintained. All of the paint is 100% original. Oil changes every 3,000 miles with Casrtol Synthetic. Clutch and timing chain was done at 120,000 by the dealership and the A/C compressor was replaced about 2 years ago with an brand new Sanden unit (same as OEM). I replaced the coil pack about 3 years ago with a brand new OEM part. The interior has heated seats, OEM Monster Mats, and an OEM brushed aluminum trim package out of a 337 Edition GTI. I purchased and installed glass lenses for the headlights to keep them from fogging up. The exterior is kept up by a professional detailer and was treated with GTechniq Crystal Lacquer and maintained with the GTechniq Silo Seal every few months. The pictured OEM VW bike rack is included with purchase (the rear bars are missing the side covers). I purchased Longbeach 17" wheels a few years back and had them repainted, (its not the best job but they look good). The 17"s are wrapped in Sumitomo HTR ZIII 225/45 ZR17 tiles with about 50% tread left on all 4 tires. I have the original wheels for this car and they are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 205/55 R16 tires with 50% tread on two tires and 75% tread on the other two. These too will be included with purchase. Raceland Ultimo adjustible coilovers have been recently installed less than 800 miles ago and I still have the OEM shocks and will be included with purchase. It is at a perfect height in my opinion, the tires rub only on big bumps. I also have a bunch of other parts I will include if the car is bought at my asking price. Euro spec front bumpr rub strip, 337 edition front bumper lower lip(painted Reflex Silver), badgeless grille (painted Reflex Silver) extra headlight buckets, air filters, oil filters, ect... Now on with the bad, The ABS warning light and the air bag warning light comes on when you start the car but it is probably just sensors. The auto dim rear view mirror has never worked and is discolored. There are small dents and chips around the front of the car, the worst being a 2" dent on the hood from a shopping cart. I ran into the back of someone at about 5 mph and there are some spider cracks in the paint of the bumper and a chunk of plastic is missing from the outer grille (just below the Badge). The grille has some clear coat flaking off but this is the only part of the car with this issue. One of the supports for the glove box is broken and it flops around (common problem with these). The center armrest console has broken off but is still included. We recently bought a 4 door Golf because we just recently had out first child and needed those extra doors. This car has been loved since purchase and I'm sad to see it go but we just don't use it enough to justify keeping it and continue paying insurance premiums on it. I have lots of pictures and can text them to you right away. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures please contact me with your phone number and I will get back to you right away.

Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA

Sat, Aug 23 2014

Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.

VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
