It is with a heavy heart that I post this car up for sale. I love this car, but financially this is the best option for me. 

This is a 2004 VW R32 in BMP (Black Magic Pearl) with only 83,XXX miles (actual milage will vary slightly). It is one of only 750 in the U.S. with this color!

The car has been well kept by Pasadena Volkswagen. It has had all services done in a timely manner and recently had its brakes done and major 80k service. Only synthetic oil has been used at all services. Mechanically, this car is completely flawless!


Car Facts:

*Car includes all original tools, jack, and spare tire under hatch floor.

*New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with less than 10k miles on them (over $1,000 on tires alone!) These tires are awesome! Simply the best tires for this car. Period.

*Car has both original keys plus the original valet key.

*It has all of its maintenance records. 

*Just got a new battery. 

*Car has both the rubber monster floor mats (currently installed) and the regular carpet floor mats (with custom aluminum foot plate) not installed but included.


Car History:

*Third owner of car. Purchased the car with only 12k miles on it back in 2008. The second owner only used it on the weekends and kept it in his garage most of the time. He purchased it from the original owner, who was a VW dealer employee. 

* It has been involved in two "accidents," both of which were minor fender-benders. Both times the car was hit from the back; the first time, the back bumper was replaced with an OEM bumper and painted the original black color. The second time, both the back bumper and rear hatch were replaced with OEM parts and painted to match the rest of the car. Both times the repairs were done at a local repair shop (M1 Autobody in El Monte) which did a fantastic job. You couldn't tell just by looking at the car.

Externally, the car is in very good shape. Small dings and scratches can be located around the exterior of the car, but nothing major. Perhaps the worst defect is a small dent on the front of the hood. Someone must have backed up into the car while parked at a parking lot, leaving a small dent on the front of the hood, but again, nothing major. It also has some scrapes on the bottom of the front bumper due to dips and steep driveways, but nothing drastic. And this is on stock suspension! I can't imagine how it would be if it were lowered. 

Internally, the car is basically in mint condition. The full leather front seats have very minor wear (no rips or tears), and the back seats are perfect. The only things that keep the car from having a perfect interior is that the handle for the glove box is broken and will have to be replaced, and one of the buttons for the Passat dome light kit is broken. Again, its nothing major, but its still being listed for full disclosure.  

For a complete car history, feel free to run a Carfax report. The car's vin is: WVWKG61J04D099755

I can also take pictures of whatever you would like to see more up close, so please don't hesitate to message me for more detailed pictures.


Extras:

Due to the car's limited availability, it has been keep almost fully stock, with only a few modifications done to it. The overall theme to the car's mods has been of the OEM+ 
style, keeping it as original looking as possible. 

Some aftermarket parts included are:

-OEM HID replica Euro R32 headlights (Helix) which retain the built-in fog lights feature (original headlights also included)
-OEM Euro R32 RSSR taillights (Hella) (original taillights also included)
-White LED city lights
-Clear side indicators
-Passat dome light kit (in black)
-White LED license plate lights
-Tint on all windows (75% on front three, 20% on back three)
-Euro Polo rear wiper (original also included)
-OEM stubby antenna (original also included)
-R32 center caps (original VW center caps also included)
-EIP cold air intake (w/ K&N air filter) (original air box also included)
-VF Engineering engine mounts
-H&R Rear sway bar (original sway bar also included)
-OEM 6 CD changer in rear
-Infinity Subwoofer (500W) with individual control under radio


The car is super clean, has always been a non-smoker, adult-driven, and been very well taken care of. It runs, shifts, and drives beautifully, and has plenty of torque. Long story short, this car is tons of fun and will always leave you with a smile on your face. You won't believe how much positive attention you'll get in one of these! It is not uncommon to be asked questions when you're at the gas station filling up, parking at the store, or just driving down the street. You'll constantly be turning heads.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a rare and wonderful car! You will fall in love with it, guaranteed!

 Thanks for looking.

West Virginia researcher describes how Volkswagen got caught

Wed, Sep 23 2015

The cheating scandal engulfing the world's largest automaker started with a road trip. In the spring of 2014, researchers from West Virginia were evaluating the tailpipe emissions of diesel cars made for the American market by European manufacturers, something never before studied in the academic realm. Excited by the prospect of breaking new ground, the team of two professors and two students wanted to gather as much data as possible. "And being academics, we went a little overboard," said Arvind Thiruvengadam, one of the students. "Being academics, we went a little overboard." Overboard included driving the cars for more miles than they needed to test and verify results. Drivers put about 1,500 miles on each of the first two cars in the study, a Volkswagen Jetta and BMW X5, along California roadways. For their final car, a Volkswagen Passat, they wanted even more mileage. So they took the car on a road trip from Los Angeles to Seattle and back again, collecting data from more than 2,000 miles of testing. The road trip was Volkswagen's undoing. When the West Virginia team returned to Los Angeles, they were befuddled by the test results. In theory, the Passat should have spewed the lowest levels of pollutants among the three cars. Equipped with the more modern selective catalytic reduction technology, the team expected to find minimal levels of nitrogen oxide. But the car, which had been certified at a California Air Resources Board facility prior to the start of the road trip, had elevated levels of NOx that were 20 times the baseline levels established beforehand. The researchers, comprised of professors Gregory Thompson and Dan Carder and students Marc Besch and Thiruvengadam, knew their on-board equipment functioned properly because, early in their research, they had double-checked its accuracy after recording sky-high NOx readings from the Jetta that showed 30 times the level of its baseline testing at the CARB facility. It was particularly noteworthy because the Jetta contained the first-generation Lean NOx Trap technology, not the more efficient SCR, yet both produced large discrepancies. The BMW, on the other hand, performed as expected. Today, Thiruvengadam is careful to say the research team never suspected Volkswagen of cheating on emissions testing, nor did the researchers report such a finding. They merely reported their findings to CARB officials who then further investigated.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
