2004.5 Volkswagen Jetta Gli on 2040-cars
Collierville, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for auction is my immaculate, adult-driven, nicely-modded, never-raced, never-wrecked 2004.5 Jetta GLI. I bought this car in 2008 from a dealership in Atlanta with a little over 30,000 old-lady-driven miles. Since then, it's been my daily driver for my roughly 10 mile commute to and from work, and taken on a number of regional road trips (which highway miles account for a decent percentage of the overall mileage, now a shade over 107,000).
Incredibly clean, inside and out. I detail my cars myself on a monthly basis with professional products (orbital waxer, clay barred annually, etc.). This car has almost always been garaged or under a carport (at work and home). No dings, dents, or scratches of any significance. Religiously maintained at all regular intervals by a VW specialty shop in Memphis, TN (Wolfsburg Auto). In anticipation of selling, I had my shop complete a comprehensive inspection, and repair or replace anything and everything of any material concern. They replaced the cam tensioner gasket due to a minor leak, the thermostat, and a faulty sensor. The water pump and timing belt have also been replaced in the past, as these items commonly fail at a predictable mileage on these cars. Coil packs have all been recently replaced as well. There are currently zero mechanical, electrical, or other issues, except as noted below. I have complete documentation of every repair, oil change, tire purchase, etc. from the date I purchased the car. Performance and aesthetic enhancements as follows: APR Stage II ECU AEM cold air intake with recently refreshed K&N filter Turbo-Back Milltek exhaust APR Diverter Valve Clear side lamps New rotors and pads all around (slotted and drilled in the rear) 40-50% life left on Hankook Ventus V12 tires Replaced VW center caps for BBS carbon-fiber-look center caps Thule bike rack with 2 Echeleon carriers (retail $1400), which I can include or not as desired, at no extra cost. Flaws: Former owner had no love for the front valence, so there are some scrapes and scratches in the valence, along with normal rock chips in the front bumper. A $300 re-spray of the bumper and valence would make this car look showroom new. A few virtually imperceptible scratches on the rear deck lid from the rear glass being busted by an errant golf ball. Otherwise, literally not a scratch or ding on the car anywhere. The clear coat on a couple of the wheels has naturally faded in spots over time, and the prior owner also added some curb rash. Nothing major. On the interior, the head unit (Alpine) has been glitchy lately, and probably should be replaced soon. It works just fine, but there's a loose connection somewhere that results in the LED illumination cutting in and out. The driver's side floor mat has a hole just near the gas pedal, which is purely a function of wear, and could easily be replaced. Otherwise, the interior looks as though no one has ever sat in any of the seats besides the driver's seat. No pets, no babies, no smoking. The keyless entry is occasionally slightly glitchy. It will occasionally fail to lock the rear driver's side door, but the alarm always works. I am a BMW and VW enthusiast, and I have studied the market for these cars. I can say with confidence that this is the cleanest, most pampered GLI available on the market, as most have been abused, raced, not adult-driven, modified poorly, and generally not taken care of. Potential buyers are welcome to speak to the shop that has maintained this car. I am also willing to entertain an escrow mechanism for out-of-state buyers who may need to have the car shipped, but would like to have it inspected at a shop of their choice. Happy to work with shipping companies, or arrange for local inspection or pickup. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or requests for additional pictures. I have many, and will take as many more as are requested. Payment upon close of auction must be received three (3) business days thereafter. Cashier's check or wire transfer only. Title will be signed over immediately upon receipt of payment, whether in-state or out-of-state. Thanks for looking. |

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
