Most Sought After 2003 Vw Diesel Golf - Last Year Before Emissions. 45 Mpg!! on 2040-cars
Brewster, New York, United States
What's Good: 45 MPG!!!!!! Florida car - never seen NY winter. New $1200.00 Pioneer touch screen AM/FM/XM DVD Player/Blue tooth. Interior has no rips or obvious wear. 5 Speed Like new tires Airbags everywhere - good for insurance discounts Power Windows/doors/mirrors/Good A-C Body in very good shape Tinted windows all around. One owner prior to my purchasing in April 2014. ABS Cruise Control is in excellent working order. Lots of room for cargo. I just changed the oil and filter - I'm an AMSOIL dealer and used their synthetic oil for small European Diesels. Put $40.00 in the tank and drive about 500 miles before thinking about stopping again!! HAS THULE ROOF RACKS - NOT PICTURED BUT WILL INCLUDE IF WANTED. The car rides and drives nicely and I have put 8K miles on it in the 4 months I've had it. I drive over 30K a year which is why this car saved me a lot of money in just the short time I've had it. What's Bad: I've sold vehicles on eBay before and always give a very honest and comprehensive assessment of what the vehicle's problems are. I don't want the buyer to have any surprises. I purchased this vehicle from Caliber Imports in Montrose, NY - who deals exclusively in these VW Diesels - I paid $8,800 for the car. I wanted the VW Diesel because of the amazing mileage (I was told 50 MPG but this gets 45) I made the mistake of believing the seller about a lot of things, the worst being a clean carfax. The vehicle does not have a salvage title but the carfax says "structural damage in left front pillar". This makes the resale a problem, although I had a professional body mechanic inspect the car and was told that either there was no damage or it was fixed so well that there's no way to tell. The car rides very nicely, especially on the highway. I will email you a scan of the carfax or you can check the Vehicle History Report eBay provides. The eBay vehicle history report does not have the same warning about "possible structural damage" as carfax - but the buyer should know that the carfax paints a darker picture of the vehicle's history. Otherwise, there are some issues where you will have to spend some money, which is why I'm not keeping it. For me to put more money into the car would mean that I spent what amounts to the price of a reasonable new car on a used car, so it is best that I sell this car, proceed civilly against Caliber Imports, and buy new. I've had this car checked by 2 different mechanics because I have a small claim filed against the seller so I will list what both Danbury Volkswagen and Meccanic Shop North in North Salem, NY found alongside the problem I describe. Cranks slowly on cold start - Fault for quantity adjuster in injection pump, failing starter. Squeaking in front end - Sway bar bushings, brackets, front struts Has on occasion bogged, worst case on a very steep hill with three (3) people in the vehicle - Mass air sensor Glove box door won't close. Replace door. Musty smell Replace carpets. Meccanic Shop North is very well known or servicing high end foreign cars, and their estimate to bring the car into a very sound mechanical condition was $1,383.79. Danbury Volkswagen (dealers are know for outrageous service fees) came in at around four times that amount - $5295.00 To the right person, this car is very valuable. I still drive it daily and I'm saving a ton of money over my F250 diesel that gets about 14 MPG. I noticed right away how I have a lot more spending cash driving this car around. I'm listing it at $1,200 more than the cost of the radio which is brand new and wish everyone luck bidding. I just noticed a small chip in the windshield which I will have repaired. VW of Danbury indicated that there is some oil seepage from valve cover gasket. |

The show opens this week in Fulda, Germany, and Volkswagen has revealed some of the vehicles it'll be presenting to first responders there this year. Leading the charge will be the new Golf Alltrack that has been set up specially as a command car, with special lighting, graphics and equipment like an accident data recorder and unique control panel. It'll be joined as well by specially equipped versions of the Passat, Tiguan and Touareg. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will also be on hand to showcase an Amarok pickup set up as a beach patrol car (you know, just in case Hasselhoff happens to be in town for the show), as well as a Transporter T6 van set up as an armored personnel carrier and a Crafter ambulance.

Winterkorn remains CEO of Volkswagen's majority shareholder
Sun, Oct 4 2015Martin Winterkorn may have stepped down as the chief executive of Volkswagen in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal, but he's not out from under the company's large umbrella just yet. In fact, according to a report from Reuters, he still holds four top-level positions not only within the industrial giant's bureaucracy, but at the top of it. And one of those is as CEO of the company's largest shareholder. That holding company is Porsche SE, the investment arm of the Piech and Porsche families (Ferdinand Porsche's descendants) which holds over 50 percent of VW's shares. In 2008, Porsche SE acquired majority interest in the Volkswagen Group which in turn acquired Porsche the automaker – and placed VW's Winterkorn at the head of the executive board of the holding company. Though Winterkorn has resigned from his position as chairman of VW's management board, he has apparently yet to step down from running Porsche SE. That's not the only job that Winterkorn still retains in VW's senior management. He also continues to serve as chairman of Audi, as well as truck manufacturer Scania, and the new Truck & Bus GmbH into which Scania has been grouped together with Man. It remains unclear if or when Winterkorn might resign from those positions as well, or how his tenure in those posts might affect the company's effort to start over in the aftermath of the scandal in which it is currently embroiled. Also unclear, Reuters reports, is how much, exactly, Winterkorn will receive in compensation after having stepped down from his chair at the head of the VW executive board. His pension is reported at over $30 million, but he could be awarded a large severance package as well amounting to as much as two years' worth of his annual compensation, which amounted to around $18 million last year. Whether he receives the severance pay or not is expected to depend on whether his resignation is considered by the supervisory board to have been the result of his own missteps or independent of the situation that resulted in his resignation. One way or another, he's not likely to go poor anytime soon.
Coronavirus prompts VW to stop production throughout Europe
Tue, Mar 17 2020FRANKFURT — Volkswagen Group, the world's biggest carmaker, is suspending production at factories across Europe as the coronavirus pandemic hits sales and disrupts supply chains, the company said on Tuesday. The German carmaker, which owns the Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda brands, also said that uncertainty about the fallout from coronavirus meant it was impossible to give forecasts for its performance this year. "Given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants, production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group brands," Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Tuesday. Volkswagen's powerful works council concluded it was not possible for workers to maintain a safe distance from each other to prevent contagion and recommended a suspension of production at its factories from Friday. Production will be halted at VW's Spanish plants, in Setubal in Portugal, Bratislava in Slovakia and at the Lamborghini and Ducati plants in Italy before the end of this week, Diess said. Most of its other German and European factories will prepare to suspend production, probably for two to three weeks, while Audi said separately it would halt output at its plants in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. Volkswagen's vast factories in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Puebla, Mexico, and plants in Brazil were not affected, but that would depend on how the coronavirus spreads, VW said. Volkswagen has 124 production sites worldwide of which 72 are in Europe, with 28 in Germany alone. "2020 will be a very difficult year. The coronavirus pandemic presents us with unknown operational and financial challenges. At the same time, there are concerns about sustained economic impacts," Diess said. Â Production in China resumes Volkswagen Group sold 10.96 million vehicles last year, putting it ahead of Toyota based on the latest figures from the Japanese carmaker. Globally, VW employs 671,000 people and it delivered 4.86 million vehicles to European customers in 2019. Only last month the car and truck maker based in Wolfsburg, Germany, predicted that vehicle deliveries this year would match 2019 sales and forecast an operating return on sales in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. "The spread of coronavirus is currently impacting the global economy. It is uncertain how severely or for how long this will also affect the Volkswagen Group.
