2004 Volkswagen Golf Gl Tdi Pd Diesel 40+mpg on 2040-cars
Cleveland, South Carolina, United States

2004 Volkswagen Golf TDI PD Diesel Up for sale is my 2004 VW Golf TDI PD. I bought this vehicle several years ago in place of a 2007 Prius. I originally sold my Prius because despite it being a great vehicle, this actually got better fuel economy and was by far more fun to drive. I purchased it at that time with a salvage title with approximately 60k miles. I am a certified ASE Master Tech and have performed all maintenance myself. It has had religious oil changes as are recommended with the higher end and rare PD engine. Always using oil that is 505.01 spec , Pentosin Brand to be specific. During the time I have had the car I have made some tweaks. It currently sits on Porsche 911 Twist style wheels ($700), has Bilstein Performance Shocks and Struts ($600), H&R Lowering Springs ($300), Seibon Carbon Hood custom painted to match with Aerocatch hood latches ($2,000), MK5 R32 Style Front End ($400), Euro Glass Headlights ($250), Leather Seat Conversion from MK4 Jetta with Power Front Seats ($800), Pre Wire for Escort/Valentine One Radar Detector, Black Headliner and several other small bits done here and there. This is the only year of the Golf MK4 which offered the higher output TDI PD engine as well. My main reason for buying this specific car. Unfortunately, last month on my way to work, a gentleman decided to make a left from the oncoming lane into the drivers rear door. This pushed me off the road somewhat and caused the shown body damage. At this time, the front bumper has a crack in the lower lip, right front fender lightly dented, drivers door scratched, drivers rear door is dented and would need replacement unless you are handy with body work, the left C Pillar area is dented and will require body work to repair and the rear bumper cover is torn. Obviously, the left rear wheel is scuffed however still spins straight. I have already picked the vehicle up and checked underbody for damage and found none aside from alignment being needed now due to the total toe being out of spec on the rear and steering slightly off center from the left side wheel impact. Obviously as you can see from the inside, I have taken very good care of the car. Im in many ways sad to see it go however I frankly do not have the time right now to repair it and need the funds for much more important manners (ill family). It regularly got 40+MPG often returning 600 Plus miles per tank. Prior to the accident, it didn't have any mechanical issues. In fact, after the accident I drove it for another week until I was able to finish engine work on my other vehicle. It is driveable in this condition should you not want to perform the body repairs BUT an alignment WILL be needed to correct the rear toe. KBB on the vehicle places its value currently at $8,131. Given the fact that I could part it out for a substantial amount im not looking for lowballs despite the body damage. For anyone in the body repair field, this would be an excellent deal. If you have any questions please email, or text 828 275 9681 and I will be more than happy to send additional photos, answer questions, etc. Title is in hand. In general, I will not ship this. If you need it shipped, you are free to make arrangements and I will work with your shipper when they come to get it. I will only accept cashiers check (certified funds) or cash in person, cash preferably. Thank you for your time. |

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
