2012 VW Jetta TDI with 38,XXX miles. Dealer maintained every 10k miles as recommended by VW. This is my daily driver and the miles will be increasing some.

Green title, no accidents, garage kept, non-smoker. There is a lien/loan on title, so the easiest way to complete this transaction would be at a Chase Bank - who is the lien holder.

Key Features - Black Leatherette interior, Touchscreen Navigation system/DVD (has a built in hard drive), Fender premium sound system, Keyless access w/ push-button start, heated seats, fog lights, heated power mirrors...5 year/60k mile powertrain warranty still in effect

This VW Diesel is rated at 30/42 MPG, but people routinely get better gas mileage out of their TDIs. On a couple long trips to Chicago, I've been close to getting 700 miles on 1 tank of gas. The norm is probably around 550 with a decent amount of highway miles, but if you're driving mostly city it would probably be closer to 450 per tank. It's not uncommon for people to get up to 50-60 MPG with these TDIs

Extras

Standard Navigation system is the RNS-315, I have upgraded to the RNS-510. The 510 has a 6.5" touchscreen and better resolution, compared to the 315 with a 5" screen. This new radio cost around $2k and was professionally installed. This is not factored in the sticker price (see photo).

Extra set of (4) VW mats - original mats were used once when the vehicle was driven home from the dealer, only used TDI Monster Mats after that.

Extra set of (4) rims/tires - Volkswagen Karthoum 18" Wheels (black). Tires have about 14k miles on them. Current wheels on the car are standard 16" alloy with all season tires with about 24k miles on them. Both sets have significant amount of tread left. The 18" wheels and tires new cost is over $2k. This is not on the sticker price and I do have the receipt if needed. (the only picture I have with the black rims was from when I originally purchased the Jetta, which I've included)

Transferable wheel/tire warranty 5 years from purchase which cost was $599. Purchase date was 9/29/11, so that puts the expiration date at 9/29/16. I believe the transfer fee is $40 dollars to NSD.

Windows were tinted at the dealer at the time of purchase.

The window sticker does reflect the option for Front/Rear Valance and side sill extensions. This is the ground effects body kit that was installed at factory, special ordered. If you're going to KBB to get a value, this is not an option or factored in. As you can see from the window sticker photo, this option cost $1950.

Negatives - The rear passenger door has 2 minor marks, I'd say they are slightly larger than a pin head from what I think was someone hitting it with a shopping cart. The Karthoum wheels do have a little curb rash (2), one a little more than the other - not too noticeable. I will provide some pictures of these items upon request.

Contact Craig @ (two-four-eight) EIGHT 54..6228. Serious inquiries only please. These TDIs go for every bit of blue book value, so there isn't much room for negotiation.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?

Fri, 16 May 2014

The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
