It is with a heavy heart that I post this car up for sale. I love this car, but financially this is the best option for me. 

This is a 2004 VW R32 in BMP (Black Magic Pearl) with only 83,XXX miles (actual milage will vary slightly). It is one of only 750 in the U.S. with this color!

The car has been well kept by Pasadena Volkswagen. It has had all services done in a timely manner and recently had its brakes done and major 80k service. Only synthetic oil has been used at all services. Mechanically, this car is completely flawless!


Car Facts:

*Car includes all original tools, jack, and spare tire under hatch floor.

*New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with less than 10k miles on them (over $1,000 on tires alone!) These tires are awesome! Simply the best tires for this car. Period.

*Car has both original keys plus the original valet key.

*It has all of its maintenance records. 

*Just got a new battery. 

*Car has both the rubber monster floor mats (currently installed) and the regular carpet floor mats (with custom aluminum foot plate) not installed but included.


Car History:

*Third owner of car. Purchased the car with only 12k miles on it back in 2008. The second owner only used it on the weekends and kept it in his garage most of the time. He purchased it from the original owner, who was a VW dealer employee. 

* It has been involved in two "accidents," both of which were minor fender-benders. Both times the car was hit from the back; the first time, the back bumper was replaced with an OEM bumper and painted the original black color. The second time, both the back bumper and rear hatch were replaced with OEM parts and painted to match the rest of the car. Both times the repairs were done at a local repair shop (M1 Autobody in El Monte) which did a fantastic job. You couldn't tell just by looking at the car.

Externally, the car is in very good shape. Small dings and scratches can be located around the exterior of the car, but nothing major. Perhaps the worst defect is a small dent on the front of the hood. Someone must have backed up into the car while parked at a parking lot, leaving a small dent on the front of the hood, but again, nothing major. It also has some scrapes on the bottom of the front bumper due to dips and steep driveways, but nothing drastic. And this is on stock suspension! I can't imagine how it would be if it were lowered. 

Internally, the car is basically in mint condition. The full leather front seats have very minor wear (no rips or tears), and the back seats are perfect. The only things that keep the car from having a perfect interior is that the handle for the glove box is broken and will have to be replaced, and one of the buttons for the Passat dome light kit is broken. Again, its nothing major, but its still being listed for full disclosure.  

For a complete car history, feel free to run a Carfax report. The car's vin is: WVWKG61J04D099755

I can also take pictures of whatever you would like to see more up close, so please don't hesitate to message me for more detailed pictures.


Extras:

Due to the car's limited availability, it has been keep almost fully stock, with only a few modifications done to it. The overall theme to the car's mods has been of the OEM+ 
style, keeping it as original looking as possible. 

Some aftermarket parts included are:

-OEM HID replica Euro R32 headlights (Helix) which retain the built-in fog lights feature (original headlights also included)
-OEM Euro R32 RSSR taillights (Hella) (original taillights also included)
-White LED city lights
-Clear side indicators
-Passat dome light kit (in black)
-White LED license plate lights
-Tint on all windows (75% on front three, 20% on back three)
-Euro Polo rear wiper (original also included)
-OEM stubby antenna (original also included)
-R32 center caps (original VW center caps also included)
-EIP cold air intake (w/ K&N air filter) (original air box also included)
-VF Engineering engine mounts
-H&R Rear sway bar (original sway bar also included)
-OEM 6 CD changer in rear
-Infinity Subwoofer (500W) with individual control under radio


The car is super clean, has always been a non-smoker, adult-driven, and been very well taken care of. It runs, shifts, and drives beautifully, and has plenty of torque. Long story short, this car is tons of fun and will always leave you with a smile on your face. You won't believe how much positive attention you'll get in one of these! It is not uncommon to be asked questions when you're at the gas station filling up, parking at the store, or just driving down the street. You'll constantly be turning heads.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a rare and wonderful car! You will fall in love with it, guaranteed!

 Thanks for looking.

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating

Wed, May 18 2022

It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score.  SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category.  Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested.  The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

VW previews huge screens, gesture control with Golf R Touch Concept at CES

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Volkswagen is showing off the future of infotainment and connected driving at CES 2015 with a fleet of concepts that highlight its latest technology. According to its displays, the coming years might mean gesture-based vehicle controls and electric cars that drive themselves to find their own charging locations. VW's biggest debut at CES is its next-gen infotainment system, dubbed MIB II. The setup supports a wide array of smartphone integration standards, including MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto, to make sure that practically every smartphone user can pair the device's interface with the vehicle. Beyond just keeping occupants entertained, MIB II offers a system called Regular Routes that detects traffic along the driver's regular commute to work and suggests alternatives. The Parking Guide also helps find parking spots that are likely open. If MIB II represents the near future of VW infotainment, then the technology on the Golf R Touch Concept is the next step from there. It takes the brand's hot hatch and adds support for gesture controls inside, plus a trio of massive infotainment screens. This R features a 12.8-inch central infotainment screen, an 8-inch screen below it for things like the climate control and switching media and a customizable 12.3-inch display that digitizes the instrument panel. A camera in front of the central display waits for the driver's hands to make specific movements that activate various vehicle functions. Despite all of the potentially distracting screens, VW says the system offers control without requiring a look away from the road. VW hopes the technology reduces driver distraction and creates a closer relationship with the car. Another of the German automaker's big tech showcases is an e-Golf that demonstrates the potential future of both electric and semi-autonomous driving. This version can be charged inductively, rather than through a traditional power cord, and the exterior lights show when the vehicle is fully recharged. It's also equipped with the e-Station Guide that helps drivers find a charging location and tells them about the payment options there. This e-Golf's other major innovation is VW's Trained Parking system. A camera at the front scans the route to a parking space, and if the driver returns later, then the process can be done semi-automatically.

VW launches cheaper 2016 e-Golf SE to challenge Nissan Leaf

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Volkswagen is taking the fight to Nissan in the battle of EV hatchbacks for the 2016 model year with the new, less expensive e-Golf SE trim level. With a starting price of $29,815 (after $820 for destination but before incentives), the model undercuts the $29,860 2015 Leaf S (after $850 destination) by just $45. Lease rates are $199 a month. The 2016 e-Golf SEL Premium is $150 more than last year at $36,415, making the difference between the two trims a significant $6,600. VW isn't letting out much of the info on the SE yet, and the company's release simply says the trim "offers most of the features of the SEL Premium model." The new entry does come standard with a 3.6-kW onboard charger, and a 7.2-kW DC fast charging package is optional later in the year. Inside, there's VW's 6.5-inch MIB II infotainment system, versus an eight-inch version in the SEL Premium with the company's Car-Net App-Connect and Travel Link. The e-Golf is rated at an 83-mile range by the EPA, and it's electric motor produces 115 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. The electric hatchback has already proven itself a moderate success in Europe through the first two months of 2015, and the VW actually beat the Leaf there in sales volume. In the US, the model has moved 1,831 examples through July, compared to 10,990 for the rival Nissan.
