Hello and welcome to my auction. Here we have a Volkswagen Golf GTI GLX in Satin Silver Metallic with Black Leather Interior. This is a true German built machine. Most of the MK4 models are produced in Brazil, even the special edition models. The color of this car is awesome! The pearl in the paint looks gold during the day and blue during the night. My wife is the second owner of this vehicle and it has been very well maintained. All of the paint is 100% original. Oil changes every 3,000 miles with Casrtol Synthetic. Clutch and timing chain was done at 120,000 by the dealership and the A/C compressor was replaced about 2 years ago with an brand new Sanden unit (same as OEM). I replaced the coil pack about 3 years ago with a brand new OEM part. The interior has heated seats, OEM 6 Disc CD changer, OEM Monster Mats, OEM brushed aluminum trim package out of a 337 Edition GTI, and an OEM Euro headlght switch to eliminate daytime running lights. I replaced the headliner less than a year ago and made it black instead of the grey it was. The installer destroyed the sunroof slide panel handle and I am currently hunting a replacement down. I purchased and installed glass lenses for the headlights to keep them from fogging up, and a stubby antenna. The exterior is kept up by a professional detailer and was treated with GTechniq Crystal Lacquer and maintained with the GTechniq Silo Seal every few months. The pictured OEM VW roof rack with two bike holders is included with purchase (the rear bars are missing the side covers). I purchased Longbeach 17" wheels a few years back and had them repainted, (its not the best job but they look good). The 17"s are wrapped in Sumitomo HTR ZIII 225/45 ZR17 tiles with about 50% tread left on all 4 tires. I have the original wheels for this car and they are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 205/55 R16 tires with 50% tread on two tires and 75% tread on the other two. These too will be included with purchase. Raceland Ultimo adjustible coilovers have been recently installed less than 800 miles ago and I still have the OEM shocks and these will be included with purchase. It is at a perfect height in my opinion, the tires rub only on big bumps. I also have a bunch of other parts I will include if the car is bought at my asking price. Euro spec front bumpr rub strip, 337 edition front bumper lower lip(painted Reflex Silver), badgeless grille (painted Reflex Silver) extra headlight buckets, air filters, oil filters, ect... Now on with the bad, The ABS warning light and the air bag warning light comes on when you start the car but it is probably just sensors. The auto dim rear view mirror has never worked and is discolored. There are small dents and chips around the front of the car, the worst being a 2" dent on the hood from a shopping cart. I ran into the back of someone at about 5 mph and there are some spider cracks in the paint of the bumper and a chunk of plastic is missing from the outer grille (just below the Badge). The grille has some clear coat flaking off but this is the only part of the car with this issue. One of the supports for the glove box is broken and it flops around (common problem with these). The center armrest console has broken off but is still included. We are only selling this car because we bought a 4 door Golf as our primary driver because we just recently had out first child and needed those extra doors. This car has been loved since purchase and I'm sad to see it go but we just don't use it enough to justify keeping it and continue paying insurance premiums on it. I have lots of pictures and can text them to you right away. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures please contact me with your phone number and I will get back to you right away.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...

Recharge Wrap-up: Jaguar Land Rover talks EVs, Batteries should be modular

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A new study out of Germany suggests adopting a modular approach to battery offerings in plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles. Automakers could offer the same car with different battery sizes (and different costs, accordingly) to drivers depending on their driving ranges. This would optimize the total cost of ownership for various drivers better than the current approach. Developing a modular battery design and offering appropriate batteries for different customers "is the key for electric powertrains to meet customer expectations and become cost competitive against conventional technologies," according to the report from the Institute of Vehicle Concepts, German Aerospace Center. Learn more at Green Car Congress. Jaguar and Land Rover are looking to offer more electric driving from their vehicles. Wolfgang Ziebart, head of product development for Jaguar Land Rover, said in an interview that its hybrid system is being tweaked for more electric power and "downsized" combustion. He also said the likely target market for EVs would be second and third vehicles, rather than primary vehicles for urban driving. Within that market, Europeans look for something smaller, while American drivers lean toward larger luxury vehicles for their second car. Ziebart uses the Tesla Model S as an example of American tastes, and compares its size to that of the Jaguar XJ. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Thailand will likely approve a Volkswagen factory as early as next week. A German newspaper suggests that Thailand's Board of Investment is set to greenlight the plant, which is planned for a site near the Port of Bangkok. Thailand is a relatively large and growing auto manufacturing country, which seeks to be a major producer of eco-friendly vehicles. The country's "Eco2" program would provide incentives to Volkswagen if it builds clean cars and meets certain production targets. Read more at Reuters. Formula E has chosen Sky Deutschland for broadcasting rights in the German market. The deal includes television rights, as well as online broadcasting. Sky Deutschland has 3.8 million subscribers in Germany and Austria. Showing the races on Germany's largest pay television provider should help generate interest for the series, particularly the Berlin ePrix - the inaugural season's penultimate race - scheduled for May 30, 2015.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
