You are bidding on a 2010 VW Jetta TDI w/ 6 speed manual transmission.  I am the only owner of this car which was purchased 6/23/2010.  Every service has been done by a VW Master Technician including the timing belt which I did at 130K (the timing belt is made of Kevlar and lasts a lot longer than the 100K interval VW recommends). If you are reading this you are probably familiar with the VW TDI cars and know that 163K highway miles is equivalent to about 40K city miles on a diesel.  These diesels would rather run all day on the highway than sit still. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car and will run great for many more years and easily another 200K+ highway miles as long as you change the oil with the proper oil type and change the fuel filter every 10K. I had this car Maryland inspected in June in order to buy out the lease and it passed easily once I put new tires on it.  I just took a rock to the windshield and I have a brand new windshield getting installed in a few days. I bought out the lease planning on keeping it for a lot longer but I fell in love with the new VW Golf TDI last week and bought one so now I am selling my baby.

The interior is almost like a brand new car.  Aside from minor wear on the steering wheel and shift knob you can barely tell it was used.  I spend a lot of time in this car for work and I always kept it clean and treated it well.  This car has a touch screen stereo with a 6-disc CD changer, AUX input to play your music through your phone or IPOD, and satellite radio.  The stereos in these cars are notorious for going bad after about 4 years and this one was just replaced about 2 months ago.  The seats are black leatherette and have always been conditioned 4 times per year.  The drivers seat has power recline. I have the carpeted mats as well as the VW all weather rubber mats.  I also have the trunk Cargoliner with the storage blocks to keep your items in place in the truck. I will also throw in the VW roof rack I have for this car ($300 new). 

The exterior of the car is in good shape.  The front end has a typical amount of rock chips for the mileage.  The car was grazed in a parking lot on the left rear which left some very minor scrapes on the wheel well and a few dings on the rear door frame (see pic).  The passenger side was also grazed in a parking lot which left a small dent on the door and minor scrapes around the wheel well (see pic).  The rear bumper has some minor damage where a police officer's foot slipped off of the brake pedal behind me at a stop sign.  He bumped the back at about 2 miles per hour and left a few ripples mostly on the plastic bump strip (see pic).  There are a few other scratches on the car as you would expect with a used car. The car has been garaged kept since new and I wax my cars 4 times per year.  There is no oxidation and the paint is still very shiny. 

You can bid with confidence that this car will be very reliable for a long time. It also has a great safety rating and very reasonable insurance rates. I have this car advertised locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
