2008 Volkswagen R32 Base Hatchback 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
York Beach, Maine, United States
OVERVIEW: I am selling my 2008 MkV Volkswagen R32 in Candy White. I am the second owner of this vehicle, and have performed all modifications within the last year at professional shops in the Southern NH area. The vehicle has just tipped over 60k miles, and has approximately 32k and/or 4 years left on full warranty, yes WARRANTY, which is fully transferable. While the vehicle has been modified, I have maintained it meticulously with the dealership, and in many communications verified with the modifications done, as long as I was willing to service it at the dealership for my mileage based maintenance, they would recognize all warrantied parts with the exception of the suspension. So the entire drive train and all electronics still have an active, complete warranty. The vehicle was parked nearly all winter except a few trips on nice days to keep it from freezing to death. The car has been completely and entirely polished in every sense of the word for this summer, and has been driven only a handful of times all of this year. This is an absolute SHOW worthy car, which is completely ready to go for this season, as well as very quick. I have owned, and driven many sports/tuner cars over the years, including 240sx’s, STi’s etc… and this is absolutely the most enjoyable car to get in, crank it up, and enjoy the ride comfort, sunroof, and ease of driving with the DSG transmission, shift as fast as an Indy car, or as smooth as your Grandfather’s Cadillac, you choose. Overall it is an easy to own, easy to drive, but with every bit the soul of a real enthusiast’s car. It saddens me to let it go, but I do not have the time to enjoy it anymore, and this car needs to be out where it belongs with someone who can truly appreciate it! DETAILS: · 2008 MkV CW R32 · 60,3000 · 3 sets of wheels o (On Car) Staggered TSW Holsten’s, (F) 18x8 +35 offset 205/40/18 NITTO NeoGen tires with even wear and 9/32’s of tread left.

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Recharge Wrap-up: VW CEO mulls battery factory, voters approve $201B in transportation funding
Mon, Nov 21 2016Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller says that it would "make sense" for the automaker to begin producing its own batteries. As the company moves toward electrification, Muller says it would be a smart move to build a battery factory. "If more than a quarter of our cars are to be electronic vehicles in the foreseeable future then we are going to need approximately 3 million batteries a year," he says. Volkswagen has agreed to cut 30,000 jobs in its restructuring, while committing to creating 9,000 jobs in Germany through battery manufacturing and mobility services.

Earlier this month, voters in 22 states approved ballot measures adding up to $201 billion in funding for transportation projects, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. California passed 15 transportation measures, including one in Los Angeles worth $120 billion for roads, bridges, and transit. The state of Washington secured $54 billion for light rail and buses. Atlanta approved about $4 billion for road and transit projects. Illinois and New Jersey passed measures to prevent the diversion of transportation user fee revenue to other industries.

A Delaware federal judge ordered the DOE to give the documents – which concern a presentation by Fisker to the DOE in which it falsely claimed to meet milestones set forth in a government loan – to lawyers in a case in which investors claim Fisker lied to them about financial troubles. While the DOE has given over documents already, they were incomplete and heavily redacted. "I understand that such disclosures may have a negative impact on future DOE analyses," says US District Judge Sue Robinson. "but conclude nonetheless that under the circumstances at bar – the public money at stake, the Congressional hearings, and the fact that Fisker Automotive is now a defunct company – the balance of interests favors plaintiffs."
