Selling a 2001 VW GTI. Black with black leather. 1.8 liter turbo motor, with automatic transmission. This is the GLS model (mid level I believe). It does have all of the power options, minus power seats. Has the power glass sunroof, AC, power steering, ABS, airbags and all that good stuff.

The good: timing belt was done at 115k miles. At that time, water pump, tensioner and head gasket were replaced. At 124k miles, the transmission was replaced with a very clean, used unit from a 68k mile car (I may still have the invoice for that somewhere). Turbo was replaced at the same time with a used unit. Interior is in overall good shape. Leather is in good condition. Exterior isn't bad either. Car is overall clean.

The bad: the car has a few bumps and bruises, normally associated with older cars like this one. You can see in the pics that the glove compartment is broken (common among MK4 VW's), inside passenger door handle came off, interior trim tape is peeling (on the roof liner, by passenger window), and a dent on the left front fender where paint is cracking. There is a leak (I believe coolant) at or around the turbo area. We believe one of the hoses has a pin hole or something. Leaves a little spot on the driveway sometimes. We top off the coolant once every 2 weeks or so. Also drips oil from the same general area sometimes, overnight. Not a lot, but it does do it sometimes. We think it may be one of the copper crush washers on one of the turbo oil lines. Check engine light is on because secondary O2 sensor isn't in the exhaust pipe. Needs to be screwed in and harness connector snapped on. The check engine light is on for this issue only. This may be done by the time the car is picked up.

Things that need to be addressed: The water and oil leaks should be looked at, but the car does run and drive, and we do drive it to and from work. The car is registered and insured, and we do use it. The front control arm bushings may need to be replaced (another common issue with VW's). The bushings are cheap. We just haven't gotten around to doing them. It also needs 1 tire. I do have the 4th aluminum wheel, which will be included with the sale, but that tire is no good, hence the spare on the car. Interior trim mentioned can use some love, but the car can be driven the way it is.

So here you have a car that can be running perfectly for a few bucks, or if you are a mechanic, can have this in top condition for next to nothing.

Not sure what else to write here. The car is ready to go, with clear NJ title in hand. Come with cash if you want, and drive it home the same day. The car is at my sister's house, in Woodbridge, NJ.

Car is sold as-is (because they don't warranty 12 year old cars). No reserve auction, and I put a buy it now on there as well. Bid away, but use buy it now if you don't want to risk somebody buying this out from under you.

Thanks for looking!!

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals Â– giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:

World Car Awards finalists snub American-branded vehicles — except for Bronco

Fri, Feb 2 2024

The list of World Car Awards has been whittled down to 10 finalists, but only one American brand — Ford Â— appears among the remaining nine carmakers for this yearÂ’s top award. The Bronco is there, and it also is balloted as a finalist in the design category. The other categories are performance car, urban car, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Car, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla. The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. The selection process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. If youÂ’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (four times), BMW (also four), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three). HereÂ’s the full listing. A video clip showing all of them is here: World Car -BYD Seal / Atto 4 -Ford Bronco -Hyundai Kona / Kona Electric -Hyundai Santa Fe -Kia EV9 -Mazda CX-90 -Subaru Crosstrek -Toyota Prius -Volkswagen ID.7 -Volvo EX30 World Car Design of the Year Ford Bronco Ferrari Purosangue Toyota Prius Volvo EX30 Zeekr X 2024 World Electric Vehicle BMW i5 Kia EV9 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Volkswagen ID.7 Volvo EX30 2024 World Luxury Car - BMW 5 Series / i5 - Lexus LM - Mercedes-Benz CLE - Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 2024 World Urban CarÂ - Abarth 500e - BYD Dolphin - Lexus LBX - Suzuki Fronx - Volvo EX30 2024 World Performance Car - BMW M2 - BMW XM - Ferrari Purosangue - Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid
