Currently putting my beloved car up for sale. My wife and I purchased it brand in in 2011 when we moved to Boston from New York. We will be moving back to New York City for a job opportunity, so sadly, the car needs to be sold. 

The car has lived an easy life so far, we walk to work, so the car has never seen a rush hour. About 95% of the mileage is from long distance highway trip to visit family in New York and Ohio. It's a non smoker car as well. We are the original owners, and has been very well cared for (I'm an ex auto technician) and have all service documented. She drives extremely well and is the best car I've eve owned.

You can look up the specs and reviews of this car through Google, very impressive.

It comes with the original carpeted floor mats and the rubber plastic ones as well.

Comes with 2 keys fobs. The 30,000 mile service was just done, and a check over was done by Volkswagen.

The photos were taken right after I cleaned the car myself. Please know, while the car is still for sale, I may use it for chores around town. Also, the car is parked on city streets, so it's likely it won't be spotless if you want to come look at it. I can wash before you pick up.

The car has minor dings, scratches or maybe a minor minor dent on it. Mostly from small bumps from shopping carts in parking lots. Also, there's an army of homeless people that search my neighborhood in search of bottles and cans. They often bump their cars into the back of cars, please see picture of back bumper. Most of which can certainly be buffed out with ease. overall, she's a beautiful car. Please see pictures, they show the worst of the minor imperfections. 

Also, please see picture that shows between front and back passenger side doors. There is some kind of rub mark on the trim. I had the car parked for most of the summer and a branch from a tree was rubbing on it and you can see minor marks from this. I don't know what process it takes to get this out. Also look at passenger side mirror picture, the same happened here.

Also, see picture of one of the tires have a small piece missing from side wall. Likely from hitting curb. I had checked out at goodyear, and they said it's just cosmetic. But please understand I cannot guarantee this. Please check out for yourself.

The only reason I'm selling is because having a car in New York City is impracticable. I originally planned on owning her forever. 

Heated seats keep your bottom nice and warm as well.

I have all service records including the 10k, 20k, and 30k services (30K was just done). Alone with everything that car has been done.

 Vehicle carries the factory 36,000 mile warranty and 50,000 powertrain warranty, please see VW for details. This warranty is through Volkswagen, not me.

This car was purchased in Ohio and is in my wife's name. It is currently registered in Massachusetts and please understand Mass. DMV laws before buying. The vehicle does not come with plates, I will need to personally surrender them to the DMV after the sale.


  
 I have all title in hand and they is clean and free of any previous liens as pointed out on those lame car reports.

 
When you look at any vehicle, please use some basic common sense and think it over.. Do you really want the car ? Is it only about the cheapest one you can find ? Ebay bottom feeders are all over the place.. Do you really want a good car well represented or are you just trolling the bottom interested in price only ?? Or do you want a good car for a good deal that is fair to both parties. If you want a great car from a great owner at a fair price, let's talk. If you're expecting on buying then trying to haggle over petty things, please don't bother.

As someone who used to be an auto tech at a car dealership, I recommend you buy from private sellers. Carfax reports are a joke and so many cars at dealerships were damaged and they never tell you. I'm not hiding any imperfections and I'm being 100% clear about the car.

I am a private seller, but I am willing to work with your schedule and with the trucking company you desire. But keep in mind, I do have a day job, I am not a full time auto seller.

 
Also I am sorry to report that we do not have temp tags in this Massachusetts. I don't know why.

Buy is now price is below Blue Book Value. I'm doing this for quick and smooth transaction for both of us.

It also has bluetooth and xm radio.







The following pictures show the imperfections as mentioned in description:

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales

Sun, Nov 27 2016

Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.

South Korea to file criminal charges against VW exec

Wed, Jan 20 2016

South Korea has tossed out Volkswagen's recall plans and is preparing to level criminal charges over its handling of the diesel emissions catastrophe, The Wall Street Journal reports. "Recall plans the company submitted to us earlier this month were insufficient and lacked key information, and thus are unacceptable," the South Korean Ministry of Environment said in a statement obtained by the WSJ. A ministry official hinted at the possibility of criminal charges earlier this month if VW's recall plan wasn't satisfactory, the Yonhap News Agency reports, and now it looks like it will actually follow through. According to the WSJ, South Korea has already ordered VW to recall 125,000 vehicles and slapped the automaker with a $12.3 million fine – one of the many countries to do so – but if it follows through with criminal charges against the company or its employees, it'd be among the earliest to so. Other countries, including the United States, are still exploring the possibility of criminal charges. Charges would likely come against both Audi Volkswagen Korea and its managing director, Johannes Thammer. It's not clear what the actual charge would be, but the WSJ claims Thammer could be facing up to five years in prison and a fine of 30 million won (around $24,700 at today's rates). For its part, VW officials in South Korea maintains that it is "doing its utmost to resolve the emissions issue" and that it plans to "offer further explanation" to authorities regarding its proposal for an emissions and fuel mileage fix in that country.

To solve diesel problem, VW might need two fixes

Fri, Oct 2 2015

Volkswagen says that a fix is on the way for its 11 million vehicles around the globe that are equipped with diesel engine software that can evade emissions tests. The problem might be far more complicated than simply creating a single solution for all of them, though. According to Automotive News citing Reuters, two remedies to cover different NOx-reducing systems could be necessary, and both potentially affect performance. Earlier examples of the EA 189 diesel engine used a lean NOx trap to reduce the harmful material coming from the tailpipe. According to experts in the Automotive News report, a software update might allow the engines to achieve compliance, but that could affect fuel economy. VW already tried this route once before the scandal came to light, but tests by the California Air Resources Board still showed the figures were too high. Later, some of the 2.0 TDI engines began using Selective Catalytic Reduction that reduced NOx by injecting a urea solution into the exhaust stream. According to Automotive News, a software update for this equipment might increase the amount of the substance used. Not only would that mean topping up the fluid more often, but there still could be some reduction in fuel economy. But, since the 2-liter, 4-cylinder TDI engine that sits inside the diesel vehicles first mentioned as being affected by the issue in the US don't have a urea treatment system, VW would need to install them into these cars. VW still hasn't officially outlined its solution (or solutions) to the emissions issue but is expected to soon. The automaker's long-term evasion of regulations with these diesel engines pumped vast quantities of additional NOx into the air. The substance is known to be linked with smog and acid rain. The US Department of Justice is already beginning an investigation into the company, and politicians are pushing for harsh punishments.
