2011 Volkswagen Golf Tdi, Manual 6-speed, 4-door, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Crawfordsville, Indiana, United States
2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI Background / History I am the original owner. I purchased the car on December 31, 2010 from Mike Raisor Imports in Lafayette, Indiana. This car has been my primary transportation for my 48-mile (one way) commute to work since I purchased it. I really like this car but will be driving my truck for work purposes now. If I was to buy another small car right now, it would probably be another Golf TDI just like this one. The Car's Life / Condition The car doesn't know what a cigarette is - it has never been smoked in at any time. The car has never been used to transport pets of any kind. It has never been wrecked in any way. I don't drive it hard although it is an excellent handling car. I don't hypermile it - it gets great mileage all on its own. More on mileage - If you're looking at this car, you probably have already done the research on fuel economy - it is outstanding. I typically average 48+ on during warmer months and a few mpg less during winter (due to winter fuel blend). Trips exceeding 50 mpg have been common. The interior is in excellent condition. Only interior blemishes I know of are small scratches in the plastic at the rear hatchback (visualize sliding something into the back of the car). The exterior is in very good condition. There are only three exterior blemishes that I know of - a door ding, rock ding in the hood, and a small crack in a headlight cover from a rock (see photos). Maintenance All maintenance on the car has been performed either by Mike Raisor Imports (the dealer I bought it from) or by me. I have records of these services, including photographs (when I did the work). The brakes are original and don't squeak, pull, shake, etc. To answer a common question, I don't know how much life is left in the brakes - they will need to be replaced at some point. I don't drive the car hard (my truck has over 160k on the original brakes). Extras I have an extra set of aluminum wheels with Michelin X-ICE snow tires, purchased through TireRack for about $1000. The car doesn't drive poorly in the snow even without the snow tires, but I am a big believer in them - a lot cheaper than a wreck. The snow tires are included in the auction. I have about $150 worth of oil and filters which I will include with the car. This includes 10 quarts (or the metric approximate) of the VW approved synthetic oil, oil filters (at least 4), a fuel filter, air filter, & cabin air filter. Shipping / Payment A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of winning the bid. Shipping is not included in the purchase price of the car. The winning bidder is responsible for delivery / pick-up of the car. A bank check or cash is acceptable payment. Your payment will need to clear before I release the car and sign the title over. |

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
