2005 Volkswagen Gti 1.8t. 78k Miles. Very Clean!!! on 2040-cars
South Elgin, Illinois, United States
For sale is a very well maintained (and documented) 2005 Volkswagen Golf GTI. All maintenance that has been performed is documented with receipts from mile 1 with this car. I am the second owner, and have had this car for around a year and a half. My family is growing, so I need a 4-door car...thus the GTI has to go. I recently (at 76k) replaced the timing belt, serpentine belt, and water pump. The car currently has 78,100 miles, and that will go up relatively slowly. It is a great car to drive, gets great gas mileage, and runs like brand new.
It has 18" BBS RC rims (from a Jetta GLI MK4), Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs, Pioneer AppRadio2 (with Bluetooth), Retrofit Homelink (for garage door functionality), DEPO HID Projectors (with Fog-Lights and Euro GTI Headlight Switch), and 35% Window Tint all around. I have the stock components to include with the sale for any modification that required OEM components to come off the car. There are no modifications to the engine, and there never has been. Here are the specs: 2005 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI Hatchback 2 Door Clean Title Two Owner Car 5-Speed Manual Transmission LOW MILEAGE, ONLY 78K Miles Engine: 4-Cyl. 1.8 Liter Turbo Traction Control Adult Owned GAS SAVER Silverstone Grey Exterior/Dark Leather interior Heated Driver and Passenger Seats GREAT CONDITION Extra Clean Well Maintained, and Well Documented Recent Emissions Loaded AC/Heater Power Steering Power Windows Power Door Locks Tilt Wheel Cruise Control Pioneer AppRadio (with stock Monsoon Headunit included) Homelink Garage Door Opener Depo HID Headlights with Foglights (and switch) Premium Sound ABS(4-Wheel) Dual Front Air Bags Side Air Bags 18" BBS RC Rims (with 16" stock rims included) and much more |

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
