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 6 Disc CD changer, OEM Monster Mats, OEM brushed aluminum trim package out of a 337 Edition GTI, and an OEM Euro headlght switch to eliminate daytime running lights. I replaced the headliner less than a year ago and made it black instead of the grey it was. The installer destroyed the sunroof slide panel handle and I am currently hunting a replacement down. I purchased and installed glass lenses for the headlights to keep them from fogging up, and a stubby antenna. 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 roof rack with two bike holders 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 these 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 are only selling this car because we bought a 4 door Golf as our primary driver 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.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
