Selling a 2008 Volkswagen GLI.  Off white exterior with black cloth interior.  DSG transmission (automatic, with paddle shifters).  2.0 liter FSI turbo motor.


This car was a victim of vandalism.  As you can see in the pictures, somebody must have hated the previous owner of this car.  Going to try listing all things that need attention.  The seats look to have been slashed by razor blades.  Can probably be reupholstered.  Some of the air vents are broken.  The radio screen is cracked.  The gauge cluster is broken (speedometer, tach, gas gauge and temp gauge still work, but the center information center area, red part, is damaged).  There are a few dents on the exterior.  There are some aftermarket 18" wheels on the car, and the left rear tire needs replacing.  There is a bubble on the inner sidewall, and that tire has a slow leak.  The right front wheel has a small bend on the lip.  The larger engine cooling fan is missing (smaller one and complete shroud are there).  The car does not have a jack or spare tire.

This car does run and drive.  Engine is healthy, as is the DSG transmission.

With just the small cooling fan, we didn't experience any overheating issues on an 80 mile trip today.  However, this fan should be replaced (it's a $130 part).  

This GLI carries a Pennsylvania rebuildable salvage title.  It does have to go through salvage inspection before a rebuilt title is issued.  It does have "not actual mileage" x'd off on the back of the title, because the insurance company that paid out on the car could not read the mileage off the car, as the digital section of the gauge cluster that shows mileage is damaged.  I do have a laptop with VW software (VCDS) that can read mileage off the ECU.  I will update this ad on the mileage section once I get the computer hooked up to it (probably tomorrow, Friday).  Autocheck last shows mileage of this car at 42,811 miles.  The mileage I will be pulling out of the ECU will be the ACTUAL mileage the car has.  The 50k miles listed is approximate.

Outside of this sale, I may have a brand new gauge cluster for this car for sale, as well as a factory radio with code (same radio as the one in the car now).  I can sell these to the buyer of this car.  Not looking to sell those to others.

Car is sold as-is, without any warranty, expressed or implied.

With the sale, I can deliver the car up to 50 miles of 07747.  I can also help arrange for towing or transport if yo are farther out than that.  You can also come pick the car up, but I do recommend that if you are driving this car any significant amount of distance, to at the very least replace the larger cooling fan and the left rear tire.  If buyer is willin g to pay for cooling fan, tire and labor, I can drop the car off at a shop to have that done before car is picked up.

Title in hand, ready to go.

Terms are as followed:  $250 deposit due within 24 hours after close of auction, via Paypal.  Balance is due within 7 days of close of auction, with bank check or cash.  Title and car will not be released until full payment is made.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Happy Bidding, but use buy it now if you want the car right now!!!  Thanks for looking!

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
