I am the first and only actual owner, having acquired it in 2000. The car has not been in any accidents; I don't smoke. There's no rust. The car was originally leased, but the lease was broken early. It has reliably gotten me around the the country. I'm selling it mainly because I've purchased a 4-door car. It's a great car for someone who's able to give it attention. Over the years, I've replaced the tires with the upgraded alloy wheels and added a factory spoiler, leather seat covers, all weather mats, and tinting to the rear window.

Condition is fair for its age. Mostly cosmetic defects (e.g. missing front grill). It had a new coat of paint sprayed on in 2011, but it did not get an undercoat for warmer temperatures. This has made the paint buckle in a few spots. The gas cap panel does not pop open when pulling the lever in the car; it must be opened manually in the trunk. It has a full spare which is currently in use while the fourth matching tire is in the trunk and needs replacing. The weight of the rear spoiler sometimes prevents the trunk from being unlatched properly the first time it is opened. The 6-CD player has a loose connection which prevents it from playing. The driver windshield washer sprayer has a broken attachment clip; it is fully functional and needs to be manually placed after opening/closing the hood. Both key fobs show the wear and tear of being used for ten years. The only known mechanical defect of any significance is that the oil light comes on after the engine warms from a cold start. It does not overheat, and the oil pump was replaced in the last month. Alternator and battery were replaced 18 months ago.

Car is sold as-is. Please ask any questions related to the car before bidding. This car is also being advertised locally, and it may be cancelled if sold before the auction ends. I do comply with eBay's policies on ending a listing early.

A fix is finally coming for some diesel Volkswagens in America

Fri, Jan 6 2017

According to Automotive News, the EPA has approved a fix for select Volkswagen and Audi 2.0-liter diesel vehicles. The fix applies to 2015 VW Beetles, Golfs, Golf SportWagens, Jettas, Passats, and Audi A3s. Unfortunately for a majority of people saddled with cheating VWs, Automotive News reports that only about 70,000 vehicles will get this fix. The remainder of the 475,000 affected cars don't have an approved fix yet. The fix first involves a software update. Later, a particulate filter and additional catalysts will be installed with a further software update. According to Automotive News, the hardware portion will be available next year. Despite the small number of vehicles approved, this may give VW owners some hope that they'll be able to make their cars emissions compliant. Volkswagen also recently got approval for a fix of nine million cars in Europe, and the company may be close to a fix for diesel V6 models. However, for owners of 2.0-liter models uninterested in waiting for a fix, they can still participate in the buyback. Volkswagen would prefer that repurchased cars aren't stripped of parts beforehand, though.

Audi A3 diesel fails independent emissions test in Europe

Thu, Dec 15 2016

The best-selling model under Volkswagen's Audi division was emitted about double the legal limits of nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels for Europe, Reuters says, citing laboratory tests overseen by the European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) in August. The Audi A3 was found in two tests to emit about double the legal limit of NOx, though one of the tests had the A3 within the limits when the engine was cold. An Audi spokesman told Reuters that the A3 was independently tested to have emissions levels within the legal limit and that he wasn't aware of the JRC test results. Still, the findings are another example of how Volkswagen, Europe's largest automaker, can not seem to shed the issues surrounding the diesel-emissions scandal that broke last September. VW has been fined about $19 billion for equipping diesel cars with software that cheats emissions-testing systems. About 11 million cars were affected, including about a half-million vehicles in the US. In addition reaching a $15 billion settlement with US regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) earlier this year, VW has been fined $15 million by the South Korean government, which may impose more penalties because of allegations of false advertising. Audi is not the only VW unit to face further scrutiny. Germany's Transport Ministry and Federal Motor Transport Authority are taking a closer look at VW's Porsche division for potential emissions-cheating efforts, Bloomberg News recently reported. Additionally, the European Union is saying that at least seven of its member nations failed to provide sufficient oversight of automobiles' emissions-testing process, and may take legal action against Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Greece, and Great Britain, according to a separate Reuters article.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
