2000 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI MK IV (ALH engine) 4-door, 5-speed manual transmission. No check-engine mal-function indicated (CEL light is not lit). My dad bought this new in 1999 for his personal use at his company and passed it on to me with 321,000 miles when I graduated college in 2009. It now has 374,000 miles, but still runs well and gets GREAT gas mileage, around 50 mpg (and I have kept a detailed spreadsheet of all fill-ups which I can share with you). In the past year it has easily endured road trips from Massachusetts to Ohio to Virginia to Massachusetts to Colorado, and I just drove it back to Ohio from Colorado a few weeks ago. AM/FM/Cassette stereo with 6-CD player that loads through the trunk. Alloy wheels and good tires. Clean interior without rips or tears, save some trim around the driver-side door that has partly come off. Never been in an accident. Non-smoker's and non- pet owner's car. Power windows, mirrors, locks, Cruise Control and sunroof all work properly. Driver and Passenger airbags. Two remote and one valet immobilizer keys. Around 300,000 miles, Dad had Chris Hill of Kraftwerk in Boston rebuild the head, install new piston rings, new VR6 clutch, replace turbo with low-mileage used turbo, timing belt and water pump replaced, intake manifold cleaned, injector nozzles replaced, and exhaust cat replaced. Clear Massachusetts title. Clean CarFax. Can send more photos on request.

This is my daily driver, but it does have a few imperfections:
- A/C is all there but hasn't worked since I've had the car.
- Some minor rust spots, some minor scratches and small dent on the rear driver-side door.
- Occasionally intermittent starting trouble, which I believe is due to air getting into the fuel lines (bubbles appear in clear fuel line).
- OBD II port sometimes doesn't work (I've had to jiggle the wires to get communication to work during state safety inspections), but I have a replacement that needs to be spliced into place.
- Rear hatch handle is partly broken, but still opens and secures hatch properly.
- Sideview mirrors have lost much of their mirrored backing, but they still work and operate.
- Glovebox handle is missing and glovebox won't open.
- Indicator lights on A/C, air, and heat knobs don't work.
- Center armrest flip-top is broken.
- Small crack rear driver-side lens

Pickup in person only. Winning bidder pays $300 non-refundable deposit due through Paypal within 48 hours and rest of payment (in cash, U.S Postal Service money order, or cashier's check drawn from a major bank) due within 7 days after end of auction in person when you pick car up.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.

Golf tees up new sales for VW

Sat, Sep 12 2015

If you consider the Passat and the CC two different lines, Volkswagen USA lists nine different models on its website, and they have sold a total of 238,074 units in the US this year through the end of August. The Golf, which was voted North American car of the year in 2015, and its variants account for 44,416 sales, an increase of nearly 150 percent compared to the same period last year. That's also the most Golfs ever sold in that time in the US, and almost 19 percent of this year's entire brand sales. This is compared to a compact car segment that has gained just 1.1 percent compared to 2014. A number of factors are responsible, according to a report in Automotive News: the MQB platform allows different powertrains to roll down the same assembly line; VW USA product planners can now configure vehicles to suit our market and they work with a selection of dealers to refine the retail offering; and the Golf maintains its proper European driving experience. The expanse of the Golf range has meant not only increased profits and new buyers, but more breadth in the buying demographic - expanding outward from the standard Golf to five different extremes, from the e-Golf to the Golf R. Room will be made for a new kind of consumer next year when the current Sportwagen model goes all-wheel drive with an Alltrack designation. Unsurprisingly, VW USA says, "Golf is a role model for the US for us. We want to learn from our success and implement those lessons in our future model planning." After decades of uneven effort, perhaps that formula plus a long-awaited range of crossovers can finally deliver on the promise of the US market. Related Video:
