Tarzana, California, United States

2005 VW Golf TDI 5-speed with 142,851+ miles.  Average 45-50 MPG.

Custom interior - gray roof liner replaced, installed mottled blue leather door liners (all doors), black door handles/control panels (originally gray), blue shift boot, Hawaiian blue neoprene premium seat covers (2012), new UNFOGGED headlights (2012) with new bulbs (June 2014), new brakes (rear - June 2014, front - May 2013), new clutch (June 2014), 4 new Ecotopia tires - increases MPG to 55 (June 2014), new battery (September 2013).  Tough, all-weather mats for all 4 seats as well as a cargo liner in the hatch.  Towing bar (2000 lb max) installed underneath, new engine sheath/cover underneath (June 2014), timing belt changed at 95,000 miles. Pioneer touch-screen CD/DVD/Ipod/Sirius XM with Navigation system.  

This car is in very good shape.  The seats are covered only because I am a swimmer/diver - original seats are in good condition.  All maintenance was done either at the dealership or with well-known companies - all records of maintenance available.  Runs great.  

It has been in one very minor front-end collision where the hood latch broke, but that was the only damage - all collision work was done at a VW dealer.  There are 3 less-than-dime size rock chips in the windshield, but they are not in the field of vision for the driver.  The tint is in decent shape, but will probably need to be replaced in a couple years.

The vehicle will be sold in Los Angeles, so you must be able to pick it up before August 1, 2014.  I have the head rests for the back seat & the carpet mats in my house in Georgia, so they will be sent separately when I return to the house in August.

The car is originally from Florida.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
