Clean tittle, dmv is fixing the issue where it says flood damage, cars not flooded, come and see, photo of clean title included in listing.
This is one of 5,000 R32's made in USA and its essentially an Audi TT all wheel drive sport car. With upgrades its around 300HP. These cars are rare and sell totaled at auctions for what im asking for as far as price, most of all the parts have been replaced ensuring that this car will give you lots of years before another part fails. Please read below as a lot has been done to this car.

Basics:
165,xxx miles many of which are highway.
Smoke and stain free, car smells good.
Oil changes every 4,ooo miles with mobile 1 synthetic.
Only premium gas used.
Interior is great, no rips or tears as well as the car smell is good and no pets were in car.
Exterior has signs of daily driving, left fender has a dent from ice and front hood has a spot where a small rock hit it leaving a white chip. Other than that car is great.
The car currently has a painted  black golf bumper, in the photo its the grey one at the end. This bumper was used for the winter and has cracks and chips.

The price is a steal, if you do not think so please research the car more as working r32's even with high miles sell on average of 10-12,000$+ and some with lower miles as high as 24,000$,  smashed at auction around 5-7,500$ which means repairs and bad title and more parts failing in the future. The biggest part in their popularity is that they are rare and expensive so if you are not ready to buy one at auction and fix it or spend a large amount to purchase one without issues than your not ready for an r32. This is basicaly and audi with almost all audi parts stock as well as some unique aditions like heated konig racing seats and aluminum trim and body kit stock. I suggest researching it more if you are not fully familiar with their price and rarity.

Now to the good stuff:
This car has thousands invested and is virtually brand new due to all the components Ive replaces recently.

Changed:
Nuespeed springs lowered, the car is very low.
Water pump 2-3 weeks ago.
Flywheel, bolts, clutch & pressure plate 3 months.
Air pump. 6 months ago.
Serpentine belt 2-3 weeks ago.
Timing chain 5 months ago.
Control arm bushings.
Front suspension & Bushings.
Rear suspension.
Trunk latch assembly and sensor.
Rear control arms lower x2, aftermarket race brand adjustable.
set of 4 new tires low profile all season.
New flex Down pipe.
New break pads all around with lifetime warranty.
Haldex filter.
Haldex oil.
Secondary radiator.
Thermostat and seal rings.
Breather air hose.
Rubber air hoses.
Coolant temp sensor.
brand New battery with warranty 1 month ago.

Mods:
Short shift.
Resinator button (Shuts off pipes so they're quiet at the flick of a switch.)
Black coated OEM Aristo rims.
Tint.
Radio cables ran for aftermarket radio system.
Glass aftermarket black headlights.
Black "magic colors" tail lights.
Black side marker and blinker lights with white LED's.
K&N intake pipe and carbon fiber intake cone (lifetime cleanable)
Aftermarket audio cables ran all way through for aftermarket system.
Added lighted jetta vents so there's more red lighting as with stock r32 not all the buttons glow.

The bad news:
This car over heats, a pressure test was ran and there was no leak detected, I have paper work for test, the oil has no water in it, the coolant tank has no oil in it and the car does not leak anywhere outside. The car has random overheating, comes and goes, runs and drives. The spark plugs need to be replaced as they misfired.
Code scan detected misfires due to the spark plugs misfiring on multiple cylinders, there are no other codes and I will have a code scaner at time with me to prove it as well as will have car runing for you at time of pick up to show you.
Back to the overheating....
VW said it could be a number of issues like air in the system, faulty parts like radiator, water pump, ect. I do not have time or money to diagnose the car and I purchased a bmw so having 3 cars is not an option especially after putting 5,000$ into this car already, price is a steal regardless of the miles or any issue it has. Please do not bid if you do not plan to buy or ask for a better deal, at this price with all the mods and parts its practically a gift so good luck to the winner and enjoy.

In the event that this car does not sell this time around I will not re-list it any longer, i will begine parting out the parts. Thank you for your interest, if you have any questions please call me at 413-523-9232. Good day.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW Golf TDI wins green car award, DC buses might go electric

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI has won the award for 2014 Northwest Green Car or the Year. The distinction comes from the Northwest Automotive Press Association during its Drive Revolution event in Portland. Co-chairman of the event, Jeff Zurschmeide, says, "Volkswagen has led the diesel passenger car market for years, and the Golf TDI proves that they're likely to stay on top for a while." The 2015 Golf TDI has 10 more horsepower than the outgoing model, while improving fuel economy thanks to a new engine. It also has a base price $3,000 lower than the 2014 Golf TDI. Read more in the press release below. The BMW i8 gets its laser high-beam headlights from lighting company Osram. The laser lights use half the energy of their LED counterparts, according to BMW, which is important when one is trying to get every last bit of range out of the car's battery. The laser high beams can also reach about twice as far as LED lighting. Because of their brightness, they won't be available on cars sold in the US. In laser-equipped i8s, the laser high beams will not work below 60 kilometers per hour, nor when other lights are detected in front of the vehicle. Head to Automotive News Europe to read more. Renault has delivered a fleet of 30 Kangoo ZEs to Uruguay's government-owned power company, UTE. The electric fleet will allow the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 36 metric tons, says Renault. 84 percent of Uruguay's electricity comes from renewable sources, with a goal of 90 percent on the horizon. Uruguay aims to get a third of its electricity from wind farms by 2016, meaning these Kangoo ZEs will be powered in no small part by renewable energy. For Renault, "This order is a further sign of the interest in the region for electric vehicles," according to Denis Barbier, Renault's senior vice president, citing previous deliveries in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia.

Some of the diesel buses, which were first put to work in 2003, are nearing the end of their life cycle, and DC sees an opportunity to make the switch to something a little greener. "Electric has not been a viable option in previous procurements, but now it is," says Will Handsfield, Georgetown Business Improvement District's transportation director. Handsfield is concerned about air quality, and says he also appreciates the long-term stability of electric rates compared to diesel.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
