I am the first owner of this GTI. I purchased it at Palmetto 57 Volkswagen off of fl826 in Miami, FL. This car has had the oil changed every 5,000 miles, and serviced regularly. The engine has been properly broken in; the performance modifications were not installed until 6,116 miles. The initial 6,000 miles the car spent conservatively commuting 20 miles each way. After 6,116 miles, all performance upgrades were installed.

 

This car has never given me any problems; I have loved driving it every moment! I’m going to be sad to see it go, but I’m moving to New York City, and cannot have a car.  This car has been tastefully, and professionally tuned. I have only installed the best parts. All of the upgrades were installed, tuned, and maintained by Foreign Affairs Motorsport, located in Pompano Beach, FL. You can look up more information about them here: foreignaffairsmotorsports dot com - They have a phenomenal reputation, and they are family owned.

 

This is a non-smoker car, has never been in an accident, and has always been kept in a covered garage.

 

Modifications include:

 

2.0 TSI APR ECU STAGE 2 PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE

CARBONIO TSI COLD AIR INTAKE

USP 3 INCH STAINLESS STEEL 2.0 TUBRO FSI/TSI DOWNPIPE

AKRAPORVIC LINK PIPE VW SS

AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST SYSTEM STAINLESS STEEL WITH MUFFLERS (NO TIPS)

AKRAPOVIC TAIL PIPE SET TITANIUM 100MM

ST COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT VW

VMR WHEELS V710 19*8.5 5*112 57.1 ET45 MATTE BLACK

235/35ZR19 MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT

28MM FRONT SWAY BAR

24MM REAR SWAY BAR

 

HOTWIRED VALENTINE 1

 

BLACKED OUT FRONT TURN SIGNAL

BLACKED OUT LUG BOLTS

BLACKED OUT EMBLEMS ALL AROUND

 

Over $11,000 invested in this car!

 

So after all of these upgrades, how does it drive?

 

Light and super fast. According to APR, and Akrapovic, the numbers fall around 280-300hp and 300-320 torque. I have never dyno tested the car, but I do have access to one if you are interested. This car launches off the line with such aggression, the wheels cannot even grip the pavement. When cruising on the highway, and the rpm’s are around 3500-4000 and you lightly press the gas, the car wants to take off.  You will be thrown into your seat with a smile. The sway bars, coil-overs, and super sports greatly increase the grip, rigidity, and athleticism of this car. The Akrapovic exhaust is about as beautiful of a sound as you can imagine. From both inside and outside, the sound is such perfection; you’ll find you are driving with the windows down in the middle of summer just to hear it! Also, what most people who want to buy the exhaust and have not heard it in person, the exhaust has such a nice deep resonant presence at idle, that most people don’t expect to see a 4 cylinder pull up. The quality of the exhaust is astounding; Akrapovic is hands down, the best.

 

Best part about all of this… the car does not suffer significant mpg’s, and daily driving this car is perfect. The power doesn’t throw you into your seat until 3800rpms. Everything below is smooth, with wonderful road manners. Occasionally, there is some rubbing in the back. This only happens though if potholes/bumps are not negotiated properly, or you are carrying your girlfriend’s suitcase in the back.

 

Of course, if you are looking at this car, and have gotten this far into my description, you are probably aware of all of this. This is one of the best, pure GTI’s you are going to find. There isn’t a navigation system; the car has the original plaid seats, and a 6speed. The options are sparse, but the car is very light. This car has been done the right way.

 

Asking price is $29,500.

 

Let me know what you think, shoot me an email with any questions you have, and if you are really serious, send me an offer. If you’re in the Miami/Coral Gables/Midtown/Miami Beach Area, let me know, and you can come by and check it out!

 

Thanks for your interest!

 

-Alex

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
