2000 Vw Gti Glx Vr6 - Very Rare Tropic Orange Factory Paint, Black Leather, 5sp on 2040-cars
Royersford, Pennsylvania, United States
|
2000 VW GTI GLX VR6 FWD two door w/ 5sp manual
transmission, Clean title in hand This car has been relegated to weekend use (VW events) and
is rarely taken out of the garage since we have owned it in 2008. That being
said, the car could be driven across the country today with absolutely no problems. Rare Tropic Orange original factory color (never painted)
in great shape with deep shine. Black
leather interior. The tropic orange is
the most sought after color from this generation as only a couple hundred were
sold in the U.S. Minor mods include Bilstein sport suspension, P-flow air
intake, and aftermarket exhaust (very tasteful sounding, deep and throaty and
quiet under low RPMs) Original owners used the car as a commuter and put on 190K
miles up until 2008 when our family bought it. It has been garage kept since
2008 and for all 6 years and we have only put on 16K miles since 2008. Options Has every factory option offered in 2000: Heated front seats that work great, Monsoon Audio w/Compact Disc Changer, Metallic paint, full leather interior, power moonroof, keyless entry, 4-wheel ABS, power windows/locks, ice cold A/C. Overall Condition This GTI was used as a commuter car and has highway miles
for most of its life. The past 6 years
it has been garaged. Although I take it
around to VW events, it is not a show car.
The car could be driven across country tomorrow and looks pretty good
considering the miles/age, but there are some minor imperfections here and
there that would be expected (as outlined below). Exterior Original paint, no accidents or work has ever been done to
any part of the metal body, straight as an arrow on every panel. The VIN
numbers match everywhere. The
paint on the body is original and still has a rich shine to it. Other
than typical rock chips near the front of the hood or a light scratch seen
under direct sunlight, the exterior is pretty good for an original. The front
plastic valence/bumper cover does have some imperfections that were touched up (not professionally).
There are some imperfections on the rear trim plastic handle piece for the
hatch that were touched up as well. Also,
there are no rust issues with this car and never have been any rust issues. Interior The interior of the car is all original and in great shape
with the original factory Monsoon sound system and head unit/CD changer. The rear seats have almost zero usage
throughout the cars life (no damage or tears). The leather on the drivers seat is structurally
perfect other than 1 small split (about an inch) on the upper left bolster from
getting in and out and one small split on the side of the passenger bolster
(bolsters on both sport seats are firm and feel snug and the small splits are
hard to notice unless looking for them). The carpet is clean and the mats are VW
rubber floor mats. The dash
is in great shape with no cracks and the trunk area is also in good shape. The car comes with a full size spare wheel,
fold up toolkit, lift jack, and owners manual. Mechanical Approximately $7000 in mechanical work has been put into
this car over the past 45K miles with a complete overhaul done at around 160K
as outlined below. The original owner had the car
serviced at Jim Wynn VW in Norristown its entire life and had a spreadsheet
with all work done including every oil change at 3-4K miles so it was in good
hands at the dealer. The car currently has 206K miles (less than 15K miles/year)
and the original VR6 motor pulls very strong and shows no signs of aging. These
motors are known to be bulletproof if maintained properly. The A/C blows ice cold. All relevant maintenance such as timing chain
tensioners, accessory belts, and waterpump were done since 160K with a full
list below: Since 165K miles: New transmission and clutch New A/C compressor/condensor New
water pump New coolant hoses New timing chain
guides Bilstein
suspension New front
axles/cv joints New serpentine
belt New exhaust New Front/rear
brakes and rotors New Fuel pump Tires have about
70% treadlife remaining Since 200K: New battery last
winter (2/14) New coil packs All fluids and general tune-up items done. Many other different random parts such as bushings etc. Needs: The car will need front strut bushings immediately as they
have pretty much worn through and make going over bumps a little noisy. I bought these for state inspection but never
had them installed as my wife is on me to sell my toys for home renovations as
we have just moved into a new house. DETAILS & TERMS:
Thanks for looking and enjoy

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.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
VW readying CC Shooting Brake?
Mon, 11 Feb 2013This was bound to happen. Volkswagen's relentless drive for big volume has the brand mining seemingly every niche it can find for additional sales worldwide. And with its CLS Shooting Brake, fellow countryman Mercedes-Benz has already shown that a wagon based off of a "four-door coupe" can look dead sexy and command extra dollars. So it follows that the Volkswagen CC (whose existence is all but directly attributable to the success of the original CLS sedan) will also get a load-lugging variant. That's according to the UK's Autocar, which notes that the five-door will come in the CC's next generation.
According to the report, the next CC will be available in front and all-wheel drive variants with the usual assortment of gas and diesel four-cylinders found in the Wolfsburg empire, with the possibility of a gas plug-in hybrid model, too. The rakish estate will ride atop VW's MQB architecture, a shorter variant of which is also found underneath the new Golf. The scalable chassis is set to spread like kudzu throughout the company's lineup, but the CC probably won't happen until after the launch of the next European-market Passat in 2015.
Will we get it in North America? Hard to say. Volkswagen sells the standard CC saloon here, but not in particularly large numbers, and when the company moved to a North American-specific Passat, it dumped the wagon variant. The traditional VW estate apparently continues to pick up sales momentum abroad, however, making the CC Shooting Brake a seemingly natural fit for buyers who still want the utility of a two-box form but can afford to sacrifice a bit of cargo room in the name of style.
