2011 Volkswagen VW Jetta TDI Wagon– Glass Roof - Extended Warranty

Up for auction is my 76 year old mom’s VW Jetta Turbo Diesel Wagon (Black on Black) with the Panorama Glass Roof.   The story of this car really is the proverbial old lady driving it very carefully and slowly.  She and my dad bought it new, and since my dad passed, she is consolidating vehicles down to a single SUV since she needs a car that is great in the snow.   This car is garage kept and has approximately 27,300 miles. 

In addition to the cleanliness of the car, my mom and dad also took the car to the dealer for every milestone service.   So the car has all documents regarding service and maintenance.   In addition to the factory 3 year warranty, they purchased an additional 3-year warranty which is the Fidelity Platinum package – Yes this is in fact the authorized VW factory warranty.  There are other warranty providers out there but Fidelity is the VW primary factory authorized warranty provider.  The car and the extended warranty were purchased October 22, 2010 and it has the 6 Year 72,000 mile extended warranty which covers through 10/22/2016 or 72,000 miles.  The cost of this warranty was $1,732.  It has 2.5 years left.   The value of this warranty with 2.5 years left is $1,443.  And if you were to buy a similar VW privately without the warranty, you could not add the Fidelity warranty.

 

The pro rated value of the warranty is being added to the Average Kelly Blue Book value and the NADA value to arrive at a Buy It Now Price.

 

According to NADA, the value of this car is as follows:

Clean Trade-in $20,025 and Clean Retail is $22,875 – Average is $21,450

According to KBB the value of this car is as follows:

Excellent condition Trade In is $19,317 and Excellent condition private party sale is $21,017 – Average is $20,167

The Buy It Now Price is the average of the 2 averages above ($20,808), plus $1,443 for the prorated extended warranty. So, the price to take it today is $22,251.  I’ve set the reserve a little under that, but this is a fair deal by all standards, and it’s a very lightly used and well maintained TDI.

 

There are a couple of scratches on the wheels but nothing major, there are also some light scratches on the rear bumper which have been photographed up close.  They would likely buff out but I can’t promise that.  The car is black on black and there are no flaws on the interior anywhere.  There are also no dings anywhere.  It has blue tooth and heated front seats that work great.  We went overboard with photos to make it as absolutely clear as possible.   She is fine from top to bottom and front to back.

Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test

Wed, Sep 29 2021

The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
