So, as to many of local people this going to come as a shock. I am selling my 2003 GTI with 105k miles on it. The engine itself has 46k after the rebuild. I am just putting this up as a feeler to see what interest is out there. I have recently had some changes in my life and don't know whether to sell her or to keep her. This car has been my pride and joy for the last few years. I bought it from a guy out in California and flew out there and drove it back to Minnesota with out any problems. The car is meticulously maintained by myself and also a local Audi/VW shop and also a body shop. That means when I get a rock chip or anything it is fixed pronto, the car is beautiful! I have gone through and changed a lot about the car since I originally purchased it. A little bit about myself as to why I am a trusted seller. I have been posting on this site since 2006, I am a very reputable person as I run a local retail business and honesty and integrity is what I stand for. I will answer any questions that you guys may have and supply very extensive photos of the car. I also can supply you the phone number of Stellar Autoworks who has worked on my car several occasions that will give you a break down of the car. On to the modification list!

Car is super quick, You can ask any of my friends or people that know me. I baby my car as I don't like things to break. I got this tuned and dynoed for bragging rights . The tune was recently just done. I use to run a Revo BT file but it ran rich and died after boosting. I later found out it that it was a ****ty file. I dynoed 330 whp with the revo.

I am sure I am forgetting some stuff, I will update as I remember. Now the price, this car has over $20k that was put into the car excluding the cost of the car which was 10k. I am not looking to recoup all of my money. I am not looking for low-ballers as I do not have to sell the car. My asking price would start out at $17,500. I would be willing to ship at buyers expense and the price has little room for negotiation if reasonable. I am also interested in trades, I am not saying trade me your 2000 stock jetta or GTI. I am looking for something that is valued the same or cash on your end and audi or BMW would be nice.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013


The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
