For almost 3 years this has been my personal GTI. I purchased the GTI with only 19xxx miles, like all my cars from an insurance auction. At the time the car replaced my 2006 GTI which one of my best friends wanted. However, like all my personal cars (Porsche Carrera, Lotus Elise) they don't get driven much and mostly sit in the garage. When I first bought the GTI and fixed it I drove her nearly everyday. When I purchased my 2011 Golf TDI the GTI was parked and only driven when the VA State inspection was due. One year later I sold my Golf TDI and purchased a 2012 Passat TDI. Most of these cars I sell after a year so and move up to a newer model. Not so with my GTI here. I kept it because it is fully loaded.....I mean fully loaded!!! The GTI has Navigation,
Leather interior,
Heated seats,
Moon roof,
Xenon headlights,
Multi function steering wheel, 2013 upgrade with module and programming. Works flawless!!!

The damage to the GTI when I bought it was to the right rear. I included a photo!! I replaced the rear subframe and all the suspension arms in the right rear. I also replaced the rear section of the rocker panel and 2 of the rims on the right side. The tires are brand new and have less than 1000 miles on them. My GTI is also lowered with the German Eibach springs all around. An alignment was done of course and the GTI drives candle straight. There was no damage at all the front of left side of the car. ( There is a photo included showing the GTI the way I bought it. The steering wheel was brand new with airbag, purchased for a 2013 GTI. I also replaced the steering module which needed to be done to make the 2013 Steering wheel function buttons work on an 2009. The module was professionally programmed and married to the car. All the buttons work except the phone button since the 2009 doesn't have the phone feature build in. The battery is also less than a month old!! Everything is full working condition. Ice cold AC, heat works as it should and so is everything else. The tinted windows were done by the previous owner and were already like that when I bought the GTI. The GTI has a 6-speed manual transmission and at 24xxx miles is not even broke in yet. Despite me owning my own shop, I take all my new Volkswagens to the dealer for service. That is because the car was still under warranty when I bought it and Volkswagen was during the all the services and recalls. I have the receipt for the last service done in Virginia Beach at Checkered Flag Volkswagen. It comes with the original books and manuals. Also has the Original Volkswagen GTI monster mats and the Gorilla trunk mat upgrade from Volkswagen. The reason I'm finally selling the GTI is because I purchased a 2013 GTI with only 6xxx miles that is also fully loaded. Yes, I buy all my personal vehicles from insurance auctions. The reason for that is, When you buy a used car at any used car dealership or private customer you should ask yourself why are they selling a car that young if they have no problems with it!! When I buy a damaged car from an insurance auction I know it's there because the insurance company paid the previous owner off rather than fixing the car. Had they not been in an accident with it they'd probably still have the car today!!!
The GTI is completely restored to normal, there are NO WARNING LIGHTS ON!!! As with all our restored late-model cars, when the repairs were completed the GTI was inspected by an authorized inspector of the DMV. No aftermarket parts were used!!! The GTI runs and drives perfectly and there are no flaws. There are no parts missing, I replace every screw and every clip, no matter how small -- to fully restore the GTI to previous condition!! I had no means of selling any time soon when I first purchased the GTI. We do accept certain trades ins but only Mercedes Benz, Mini Cooper, or Volkswagen 2011 and newer. We will supply temporary plates should you decide to fly in and drive the GTI home.

    I'm open for all reasonable offers in case you don't like to wait for the auction to end!!

This GTI has been completely restored and has passed a Virginia Salvage Inspection.



 


THIS JETTA HAS NOW A CLEAR TITLE THAT REQUIRES NO ADDITIONAL STEPS AT THE DMV.

                                                 Check my other auctions because we have many other cars for sale!!

If I get a reasonable offer before the auction ends I will cancel all bids and sell the car. It is also for sale on our lot. If this is something you're interested in, don't wait for the auction because many of my listed cars sell before the actual auction ends!!!

2015 Volkswagen Golf: Green Car of the Year?

Wed, Apr 1 2015

As you may recall, VW's compact Golf was voted 2015 North American Car of the Year by a jury of 57 veteran automotive journalists (including this one) and named Car of the Year by Motor Trend and Yahoo Autos and Best Car to Buy 2015 by Green Car Reports. "The range of green options in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf range is hard to beat," says Green Car Reports editor John Voelcker. "With more fuel-efficient gasoline engines, a new TDI diesel option that comes close to real-world hybrid mileage levels, and the all-electric VW e-Golf, the 2015 Golf gives buyers a good-better-best menu of options for driving green." The car was also a finalist for Green Car Journal's "Green Car of the Year," but ultimately lost to the BMW i3 EV. When I saw GCJ editor Ron Cogan at last November's Los Angeles Auto Show, he asked me to guess which finalist would win. Based on its efficiency and versatility, I guessed the Golf. He smiled but the next day, he named the i3 the winner. Okay, the technically impressive, carbon-fiber-bodied i3 is a formidable green machine wearing a prestige German label at a semi-affordable ($43,000) price. But it comes in just one (somewhat odd-looking) body style with a choice of all-electric or range-extending electric powertrains, and its EPA-official ranges are 81 miles for the former and just 150 for the latter, costlier version, which totes a tiny (647cc) 34-hp two-cylinder BMW motorbike engine in its tail. By contrast, the 2015 Golf comes in 3- and 5-door hatchback and even more practical Sportwagen body styles and offers a wide range of eager yet fuel-thrifty turbocharged gas and clean-diesel engines, most with a choice of manual or automatic transmission. An all-electric e-Golf, one of the best EVs we've yet driven, is also available in some areas, and that will be followed, VW says, by a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid and even a CNG-powered model. No question this all-new seventh-generation 2015 VW Golf is easily the best ever. A bit larger, roomier, aerodynamically slicker and more fuel efficient than the Gen VI Golf it replaces, it's built on an all-new modular platform and boasts an amazing range of models, powertrains and features.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling.

Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
