2011 Volkswagen Golf Tdi, Manual 6-speed, 4-door, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Crawfordsville, Indiana, United States
2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI Background / History I am the original owner. I purchased the car on December 31, 2010 from Mike Raisor Imports in Lafayette, Indiana. This car has been my primary transportation for my 48-mile (one way) commute to work since I purchased it. I really like this car but will be driving my truck for work purposes now. If I was to buy another small car right now, it would probably be another Golf TDI just like this one. The Car's Life / Condition The car doesn't know what a cigarette is - it has never been smoked in at any time. The car has never been used to transport pets of any kind. It has never been wrecked in any way. I don't drive it hard although it is an excellent handling car. I don't hypermile it - it gets great mileage all on its own. More on mileage - If you're looking at this car, you probably have already done the research on fuel economy - it is outstanding. I typically average 48+ on during warmer months and a few mpg less during winter (due to winter fuel blend). Trips exceeding 50 mpg have been common. The interior is in excellent condition. Only interior blemishes I know of are small scratches in the plastic at the rear hatchback (visualize sliding something into the back of the car). The exterior is in very good condition. There are only three exterior blemishes that I know of - a door ding, rock ding in the hood, and a small crack in a headlight cover from a rock (see photos). Maintenance All maintenance on the car has been performed either by Mike Raisor Imports (the dealer I bought it from) or by me. I have records of these services, including photographs (when I did the work). The brakes are original and don't squeak, pull, shake, etc. To answer a common question, I don't know how much life is left in the brakes - they will need to be replaced at some point. I don't drive the car hard (my truck has over 160k on the original brakes). Extras I have an extra set of aluminum wheels with Michelin X-ICE snow tires, purchased through TireRack for about $1000. The car doesn't drive poorly in the snow even without the snow tires, but I am a big believer in them - a lot cheaper than a wreck. The snow tires are included in the auction. I have about $150 worth of oil and filters which I will include with the car. This includes 10 quarts (or the metric approximate) of the VW approved synthetic oil, oil filters (at least 4), a fuel filter, air filter, & cabin air filter. Shipping / Payment A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of winning the bid. Shipping is not included in the purchase price of the car. The winning bidder is responsible for delivery / pick-up of the car. A bank check or cash is acceptable payment. Your payment will need to clear before I release the car and sign the title over. |

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.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
