There is NO RESERVE so as long as there is at least one bid it will sell.

For sale is my 03 Golf TDI with the last of the great highly sought after ALH motor and 5 speed manual transmission. I'm the second owner. I bought it from an older woman, ~60ish, and her mother at 128k miles around last November. It just rolled over 135k the other day. I've been using it to commute to Rutgers 5 times a week and as a daily. I honestly thought I'd be keeping it a lot longer, but I'd like to put some money into my other cars.

Mechanically it's great. It was always dealer serviced prior to my ownership - I have some maintenance records and a summary history of all visits to the dealer. I'm only going to list the major and recent service.

____________________________________________

This is everything I've done since I bought the car:

12/5/13
Alignment (Steering wheel is still a little off center, but drives straight)
Thermostat
Wastegate actuator
Front Control Arms
Motor/trans Mounts
Wiper Blades

12/15/13
Washer pump
Rear wiper assembly
Hella horns

5/2/14
Driver Door Lock

Pros: Great working car for commuting. Everything works like it should, it's very basic, no warning lights- runs and drives excellent! Cosmetically the car is good. Absolutely No Rust. Interior is cloth and in great shape. Tranny shifts great, I consistently average 45-46 MPG, 550-570 miles to a tank with $40-43 in diesel, in stop and go on Rt18 to school and around town. Turbo spools instantly and is very responsive.

Cons: It has a few scratches, mainly on the rear bumper so please look at the pictures, a few stone chips on the hood, and I resprayed the quarter panel because of a small crease (the color match is extremely good), there is some paint peeling up on the hatch's handle, and lastly one of the cupholders is broken. (A new one is $30 here on eBay and replaces in about a minute of work)

The car was involved in a front end collision in April 6th of 2004. I noticed on the summary report from the dealer that 3 things were replaced on Sept 12th of 2005. I called VW and they said the PS headlight, grille, and bumper were replaced.

The other accident was in a parking lot and lightly dented the quarter panel and scratched the bumper. I bought the car with this damage. The damage before being fixed is pictured. (Scroll to the very bottom)

That's everything. I tried being as upfront and honest about the car as possible. Please don't hesitate to ask questions and I'll answer to the best of my ability. It's getting very hard to find nice examples of these cars with this kind of mileage and with a 5 speed.

Volkswagen Tiguan arrives with chiseled looks, GTE plug-in model [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

After a long run, Volkswagen has finally retired the first-generation Tiguan crossover in favor of the larger, more chiseled second-generation model. The new compact is longer, wider, and lower than the more upright CUV that came before it. Yet, as we covered in our original post, the new Tig is also over 100 pounds lighter. The bodywork is conservative but handsome; typical of newer VWs. We see plenty of Passat and Touareg in the fascia, which features a three-bar grille that integrates neatly with the slightly canted, rectangular headlights. The beltline looks higher than today's Tiguan, and sits below a more aggressive greenhouse, which is a welcomed change after the soft, crossovery looks of the last-gen model. While VW has only released European powertrain options – there are eight engine options, split evenly between gas and diesel and boasting anywhere from 123 to 237 horsepower – we'll expect a far smaller roster for the US. Look for VW's familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder to feature prominently in both front- and all-wheel-drive models, while we're personally hoping VW will see the light and offer a 2.0-liter TDI Tiguan. Of course, there's more than just gas and diesel for the new Tiggy. The all-new GTE model promises plug-in capability. Expect 31 miles of electric range and 215 system horsepower. There are even solar panels on the roof which could generate up to an extra 600 miles per year of driving range. VOLKSWAGEN REVEALS ALL-NEW EUROPEAN TIGUAN AT THE FRANKFURT INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW Based off the MQB platform, the new European Tiguan revolutionizes the compact SUV • Powerful, authentic SUV design of the new Tiguan was completely reconfigured. • Tiguan is the first Volkswagen Group SUV to be based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB). • Longer, wider, lower – new vehicle architecture enables sportier proportions • Tiguan makes its debut at the IAA in an R-Line version, a classic on-road version and a version with an off-road front end. • Volkswagen is also showing the Tiguan GTE in Frankfurt with a plug-in hybrid drive and 1.9 litre per 100 km fuel consumption. • Newly conceptualised solar roof module for the Tiguan GTE increases its electric driving range. • Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring, active hood, Lane Assist and the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System are fitted as standard.

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
