2004.5 Volkswagen Jetta Gli on 2040-cars
Collierville, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for auction is my immaculate, adult-driven, nicely-modded, never-raced, never-wrecked 2004.5 Jetta GLI. I bought this car in 2008 from a dealership in Atlanta with a little over 30,000 old-lady-driven miles. Since then, it's been my daily driver for my roughly 10 mile commute to and from work, and taken on a number of regional road trips (which highway miles account for a decent percentage of the overall mileage, now a shade over 107,000).
Incredibly clean, inside and out. I detail my cars myself on a monthly basis with professional products (orbital waxer, clay barred annually, etc.). This car has almost always been garaged or under a carport (at work and home). No dings, dents, or scratches of any significance. Religiously maintained at all regular intervals by a VW specialty shop in Memphis, TN (Wolfsburg Auto). In anticipation of selling, I had my shop complete a comprehensive inspection, and repair or replace anything and everything of any material concern. They replaced the cam tensioner gasket due to a minor leak, the thermostat, and a faulty sensor. The water pump and timing belt have also been replaced in the past, as these items commonly fail at a predictable mileage on these cars. Coil packs have all been recently replaced as well. There are currently zero mechanical, electrical, or other issues, except as noted below. I have complete documentation of every repair, oil change, tire purchase, etc. from the date I purchased the car. Performance and aesthetic enhancements as follows: APR Stage II ECU AEM cold air intake with recently refreshed K&N filter Turbo-Back Milltek exhaust APR Diverter Valve Clear side lamps New rotors and pads all around (slotted and drilled in the rear) 40-50% life left on Hankook Ventus V12 tires Replaced VW center caps for BBS carbon-fiber-look center caps Thule bike rack with 2 Echeleon carriers (retail $1400), which I can include or not as desired, at no extra cost. Flaws: Former owner had no love for the front valence, so there are some scrapes and scratches in the valence, along with normal rock chips in the front bumper. A $300 re-spray of the bumper and valence would make this car look showroom new. A few virtually imperceptible scratches on the rear deck lid from the rear glass being busted by an errant golf ball. Otherwise, literally not a scratch or ding on the car anywhere. The clear coat on a couple of the wheels has naturally faded in spots over time, and the prior owner also added some curb rash. Nothing major. On the interior, the head unit (Alpine) has been glitchy lately, and probably should be replaced soon. It works just fine, but there's a loose connection somewhere that results in the LED illumination cutting in and out. The driver's side floor mat has a hole just near the gas pedal, which is purely a function of wear, and could easily be replaced. Otherwise, the interior looks as though no one has ever sat in any of the seats besides the driver's seat. No pets, no babies, no smoking. The keyless entry is occasionally slightly glitchy. It will occasionally fail to lock the rear driver's side door, but the alarm always works. I am a BMW and VW enthusiast, and I have studied the market for these cars. I can say with confidence that this is the cleanest, most pampered GLI available on the market, as most have been abused, raced, not adult-driven, modified poorly, and generally not taken care of. Potential buyers are welcome to speak to the shop that has maintained this car. I am also willing to entertain an escrow mechanism for out-of-state buyers who may need to have the car shipped, but would like to have it inspected at a shop of their choice. Happy to work with shipping companies, or arrange for local inspection or pickup. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or requests for additional pictures. I have many, and will take as many more as are requested. Payment upon close of auction must be received three (3) business days thereafter. Cashier's check or wire transfer only. Title will be signed over immediately upon receipt of payment, whether in-state or out-of-state. Thanks for looking. |

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike 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.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
