See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Great condition. A few minor cosmetic flaws from normal use (see below)."

Let me start off by saying that I pride myself in being absolutely honest and straightforward when dealing on eBay. I've been jerked around before and HATE people who do that kind of thing. This is meant to be a laid back, no pressure sale.

Up for sale is my 2009 VW GTI. The car has about 43,000 miles on it (may increase slightly, as it is being driven about once a week), has been garaged for the last 2 years and is in very good condition. It has only recently been pulled out of the garage because we moved from Hampton to Charlottesville. I have always driven the car very carefully and have never abused it in any way, as I do not believe in trashing beautifully designed machines. It has barely been driven in the last year and a half, as I was able to walk or ride a bike to work. The car is mechanically sound and has nothing wrong with it other than a few minor cosmetic things, which I'll describe below...

Minor cosmetic flaws:

1. Right after I got it in 2010, like a jackass I backed into a pole in a parking lot at about 0.5 mph. As a result the driver side rear tail light cracked and the bumper and rear quarter panel were scuffed. Insurance covered the incident and a brand new light was installed and the body work was done by a professional. You would never know it happened.

2. There is a small crack in the driver-side side skirt, right behind the front wheel. This was there when I got the car and I never addressed it. Looks like someone removed the side skirt at one time and I'm guessing that is how it happened (see picture).

3. There are a couple of TINY paint chips that can be covered with touch-up paint (included).

4. I bumped the headlight switch with my knee getting into the car one time and the plastic around it has a crack that is barely noticeable (see pictures).

5. There is some light curb rash on the driver-side front wheel. This was from the previous owner.

6. There is a small scratch in the rear window tint. This happened last week from a surf board fin and the glass is fine.

7. There are a couple of barely visible dimples on the trunk from where my brothers pushed me out of some snow when I drove the car to PA last Christmas. There is also a small dimple over the driver-side door, but that was not my doing.

8. If the car is left out in heavy rain, the tiniest amount of water will make its way into the trunk and collect in the spare tire well. This is a known issue on some of the MKV GTIs and I found the water to be getting in around the driver-side tail light. I haven't addressed it because the car has been garaged.

A couple of things things that I've had to have fixed on the car:

1. I had an issue with the 3rd brake light (on the rear spoiler) last year where only half the LEDs in the light were coming on. I took it to a VW dealer and they replaced an $800.00 part in the computer that was putting a bad voltage through that light, along with the light itself. The whole thing was covered under the 5 year/50,000 mile warranty and the light has been fine since.

2. The "Check Engine" light came on at the beginning of this year, so I took it to the dealership again. There was an issue with a butterfly valve sticking in the intake manifold. They replaced the whole thing while performing the 40,000 mile maintenance. This was also covered under the 5 year/50,000 mile warranty.

A couple of things that have been added:

1. The car has super dark tint all the way around, and it was professionally done, so it looks awesome. I got pulled over for it immediately after buying the car, and was given a warning and told to have it removed. That was in Ohio, but in Virginia I've never been pulled over for it.

2. The car has the nice GTI rubber floor mats ($100.00). The driver one is coming close to having a small hole worn through where the heel rests in front of the gas pedal, but the rest are like new. It also has the VW "Gorilla-Gear" trunk protector mat ($100.00). The original floor mats are included as well.

3. Less than 1500 miles ago I put Brembo drilled, zinc-coated brake rotors all around on the car, along with Hawk ceramic pads (a $700.00 investment). I was surprised at how much more responsive the brakes were, and the ceramic pads are quieter and generate less dust. These brakes look great and will stay that way for a long time.

4. I have two brand new Good Year Eagle GT All Season tires that will come with the car (worth $180.00 a piece). I already have these tires on the front, but have not yet replaced the rears (Dunlop SP Sport 01 A/S) because they're such good tires ($210.00 a piece) and still have some life left in them.

5. I put the factory VW roof bars on it ($300.00). They have a few tiny scuffs here and there but are fully functional and look and work great.

That's pretty much it. Please feel free to call or message me anytime with questions (606-547-6565), and thanks for looking!

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
