2009 Volkswagen Gti Base Hatchback 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
2009 GTI with the thunderbunny bumper package. This bumper kit alone runs for $3000 from Volkswagen and looks much better than the stock bumper the GTI comes with. Car has always been meticulously taken care of mechanically and cosmetically. All regular maintenance done at the dealership and detailed every 3 months, I have all records in hand for maintenance. This GTI is sporting a 3" APR turboback exhaust which gives the car a deeper tone without sacrificing comfortable cabin noise, The exhaust brand new is $1700. Also has an APR Carbon fiber air intake which gives the car better throttle response and a little more horsepower. This GTI sits on Solowerks adjustable coilovers and Avante Garde M220 wheels, giving the car a unique and aggressive look. I also have all the OEM parts if wanted when purchased. This is one of the most fun cars to drive and will make a great addition to the garage. It needs a few parts which I would be more than glad to pay for when purchased. It needs new high density upper strut mounts ($60) for the front shocks, The OEM mounts squeak on bumps but DOES NOT affect the driving or safety of the car. A new O2 sensor is needed as the original one is faulty ($150), and the OEM throw out bearing for the clutch makes a slight squeak when released, a $40 part that I would be more than happy to have fixed with purchase of the car. It shifts smoothly through all gears and I would be more than happy to accommodate any needs to repair these parts. There is one small knick on the rear fender lip which is an easy fix. If interested or would like to see the car in person feel free to message me or call (858) 342-7122. |

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
