2004 Vw Golf Tdi 4 Door 5 Speed 90k Miles Diesel From Militant Non Smoker on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:90654
Location:

Columbus, Ohio, United States

Columbus, Ohio, United States

from a private seller with clean and clear title in hand (with my name on it):

a 2004 VW Golf TDI - 2 owners, first was a friend of mine that got a job in Luxemburg and could only take one of his two TDIs - all records incl. maintenance and repair records come with the car.
Unfortunately my friend lost the window sticker.

This car is pretty rare in it's configuration - 5 speed, black matrix interior and NO SUNROOF !
This gives tall people an enormous advantage due to more headroom.
This car has never ever been smoked in !
Garaged every night until recently when it had to make room for the new car.
Still garaged every day at work.
100% stock except for EGR Delete and Rocket Chip Stage 1+.
The motivation for the chip was only to gain fuel economy and to enable the EGR delete,
this car was never raced or abused.

The car has 90k miles on it and it just received the 80k service incl. the complete timing belt service (timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt rollers (X3), metal impeller water pump, serpentine belt, G12 coolant) and new rear brakes (rotors and pads) from Jon Hamilton. The EGR delete and rocket chip were done at the same time.
This recent service (parts and labor) carries a 24 month and 24k mile warranty and cost ~$2300.
The car also just received a brand new fender at a VW / Audi certified body shop which was covered by VW's 12 year corrosion warranty.

In the last months i drove the car to Cincinnati and Chicago and averaged 49 mpg driving ~5 mph over speed limit.
>50 mpg without AC or cruise using standard hyper mile-ing techniques are easily obtainable.
I have managed to average 52 mpg over an entire month with a lot of long distance driving,
i never over inflate tires or any other non sense like that which sacrifices safety for a few mpg.

The car runs great, will meet for test drive and all records will go with car.
It has some dents, dings and scratches - mostly from parking incidents but is well worth the asking price.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.
Please do not contact me quoting KBB or other websites.
Please do not contact me unless you have the funds ready and are able to purchase immediately.

I will arrange PPIs at buyers expense (and reserve the right to refuse shops that i deem not trustworthy with my cars)
and would be more than happy to accommodate a fly & drive.
Closest airport to me is CMH (Port Columbus International Airport).
My last TDI with almost 200k miles went to a very happy and satisfied buyer in Texas who flew in and drove
it back (never having driven a manual car before) and averaged 56mpg all the way back ;-)

And furthermore do not forget that you should ask EVERY seller of a car listed as for sale by owner if they have the title in hand with THEIR name on it -> stopcurbstoning.com !
Report every curbstoner and dealer listing as private seller to ebay (maybe one day it will help if enough people complain) !

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
