Hello! Up for sale I have a 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen equipped with a  highly desired, but rare MANUAL transmission. Over the time that I have owned this tremendous new technology clean diesel, I have achieved consistently 650 miles to its 14 gallon tank. (650/14=46.4mpg) the best I have achieved is 52mpg. I drive highway and city. I am only the second owner of this vehicle and have loved driving it on long road trips or just down the road. The manual transmission goes in and out of gear effortlessly, the 4 cylinder TDI motor starts up and runs as quiet as a Gas, and the turbo (which was just replaced brand new) helps get this car up to speed like no other diesel you have ever driven (unless of course you have driven a 2010-2013 VW TDI). 

Mechanically: this car is mechanically sound. Always serviced at the VW dealer from day one, including the most recent Timing Belt, water pump, tensioner and serpentine belt replacement at 212k. This car starts up effortlessly. steering and suspension are unrivaled in comparison to other wagons. add in your 50+mpg highway combined with the 40mpg city and you have one of the nicest most economical wagons on the road. Only 507.00 VW approved oils have been used in the motor. The things that will need to be replaced soon: front rotors are coming up due for a change. The AC has worked on and off over the last hot season. I ended up buying a brand new VW AC compressor to install, but didnt get around to it. The new Compressor will be included with this purchase. The car drives straight but could use a slight adjustment/alignment (depending how picky you are). Everything other than mentioned works PEFECTLY!!

The interior is IMMACULATE. solid 10/10. Both driver and passenger sides have very comfortable, electronic heated seats that heat up faster than your motor on the cold days. The original owner was in advertising. He drove this car across country and back day after day, leaving ZERO wear on the passenger and rear seats and putting 95% all HIGHWAY miles on the tach. The driver seat is also just as nice as the rest of the car even with the mileage driven in the seat. The trunk/hatch still has the organizers in the packaging from the dealer!! Factory Allweather floormats will come with this car, only accenting the already beautiful interior. In dash 6 DISC cd changer, wireless bluetooth, am/fm/sat. There is even an option to input SD cards. I absolutely love the wireless bluetooth connectivity. play your own music talk hands free to friends/family/clients all through the interior radio/speakers from your phone. another great option is all windows go up or down automatically with the push of a button. Everything in the interior is 100% perfect just as the day it rolled off the dealer lot.

Exterior is mostly good. The red exterior shines beautifully. The wheels are in great shape, tires have roughly 60-70% tread left. They are SNOW tires. ESP equipped with snow tires will keep this car driving straight as an arrow all winter long! (if you dont know what ESP is, please youtube it, it is the single greatest thing to be installed in new cars). 

Now the bad (and reason for the low price): I was rear ended at a whopping 5 mph. the damage put a dent in the rear hatch and broke the rear tail light. The damage was not very bad, nor extensive as seen in the pictures. As is the car is completely legal as all lights are working fine and the hatch opens and shuts completely fine. I am going back to school. To finance my MSA I must unfortunately sell this car. I strongly urge you to come drive the car. see it and drive it for yourself to see how amazing this car really is. Any questions are encouraged. feel free to email me and or call me at 419-345-1732

Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, 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.

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
