Truth be told, the first generation R32, arguably is one of the best hot hatches ever made. Being a Volkswagen enthusiast at heart and having owned a Corrado VR6,  an Audi B5 S4, multiple supercharged and turbo MK2's and MK3's,  along with other muscle cars and tuner cars, I can confidentally say that nothing compares to driving an R32. Every component designed and engineered on this vehicle is exceptional. It took me over a year to locate this exact vehicle with all the specs I was looking for. I can't believe I am selling one of my favorite all-time cars. Reason for selling is that I got engaged last month and my fiancee and I are planning a wedding. Hate to sell it, but funds have to come out of somewhere. Also, I am only driving the R32 on weekends since I am always in NYC on weekdays. Im sure someone would get better use out of the R32. Car comes with a clear history and clean title.

It has been washed, waxed and detailed every weekend with Zymol products ever since I bought it. Never raced, tracked, abused, and always garaged when not in use. Maintenance wise, this car needs nothing. It is a turn-key vehicle, no check-engine light, no lights on the cluster for that matter. All electronics work, sunroof, windows, seats etc. Car is basically stock except for the well known "flapper mod". It also has oem upgraded lighting components that I purchased from Craft 42 designs. When I bought the car, I had it inspected  at my shop inside and out. I did an oil change (Mobil 1), oem front rotors and pads (ECS Tuning), oem plugs and wires (VW Parts), replaced the 2 front axles, and 2 rear wheel bearings and an awd wheel alignment. Car rides, sounds, and feels superb. The handling, acceleration, and dual exhaust 3.2 VR6 is intoxicating and the new owner should bid/buy with confidence.

The car has 103,399 miles on it. I have never had a problem with the car since I've owned it. Engine is in top notch condition, AWD Haldex is in perfect shape, the 6 spd transmission shifts smoothly and never grinds. Suspension is in great condition as well as all braking components. Paint is in amazing condition and has a beautiful shine. Tires have tons of tread left. Car also comes with All Leather Koenig 5000's seats. By far, the best seats for driving, period. I encourage for the interested buyer to come and view the vehicle before bidding/purchasing it through ebay. There will be no negotiation, as these cars are becoming rarer by the day especially unmolested R32s. I feel it is better to pay more for a solid trouble free car than pay less for a car that needs work or can potentially need work shortly down the road which can ultimately cost you more in the long haul. This R32 has a long life ahead. Whatever your goals are with this car, rest assured it is a safe bet. With the purchase of the car, I will include a stock 225/40/18 tire, a used European fog light switch, and a new European Rear Fog light kit (ECS Tuning). R32 comes with the stock manual/book along with 1 FOB Key, wheel lock set/oem socket. Buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery or if buyer pays for shipping, I can accommodate for date/pickup. No warranties expressed or implied. $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction and full payment/pickup of vehicle within 7 days of auction. Any questions about the vehicle, feel free to ask. Thank you, good luck bidding, and bid with confidence!

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
