Tdi Diesel, Metallic Blue, Like New Black Leatherette Interior, 50+ Mpg Manual on 2040-cars
Centreville, Maryland, United States
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. Please contact me if you have any questions. brentrbaer@gmail.com |

Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?
Tue, Jun 30 2015After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
