Current Mileage is 20,000... I am listing my 2013 GLI Autobahn Edition, rather than waiting to trade it in. What is the reason I would sell it, rather than wait? The seats. My previous 5 series BMW seats were great for me because they were almost flat. The GLI seats have a very low seat height which I love. However… They also have very high bolsters, which are great when you get into a nice corner but not when you commute 70 miles a day. The suspension is also more sporty than I like at this point in my life. My friends seem to love the seats, so it is a matter of preference. I have some extras with the car, and all of it is included in the price. I already know what I can get for trade in, but the car I want is not out yet. I have not paid it off because my interest rate is almost nothing. I am asking for less than what I owe on it, and I will pay off any balance that is due upon sale. It's your choice if you prefer to pay VW financial directly, or if you would rather pay me. I will give you a legal Bill of Sale and also a Statement of Fact both of which are legal DMV forms, and will transfer ownership to you as soon as the loan is paid and the title is cleared. The title is held electronically and will be released by VW 1-2 weeks at the most, after loan payoff. I could have the seats re-upholstered and have the bolsters removed and the leather redone, but I originally only bought the car while I was waitingget a new wagon and I don’t want to get into customizing it too much. So, here is all the info regarding the car. It is a 2013 GLI with Autobahn package and manual 6 speed transmission. I have both the cloth matts (in the car) and the rubber heavy duty GLI matts (brand new and included). It has a trunk liner with dividers. I have a 1080p HD wide angle dash cam that is mounted and included with the car. It has had the Soundaktor (fake sound generator) unplugged. I can plug it back in or leave it, your choice. I didn’t want any fake sounds in my car, and it’s much quieter inside the car without it. FULL DISCLOSURE: The front windshield was replaced about 6 months ago, due to a large can or something getting kicked up by a car ahead of me on the freeway. (Something always seems to happen wbuy a brand new car… Like it’s a magnet). I have 17” GLI OEM wheels and tires that I put on the car, because I wanted all the Autobahn featuredidnwathe 18” two tone rims on there. Not my style. I like understated. But I also have the 18” GLI Bathhurst wheels and tires that I took off the car and stored. They have very little wear on the tires and are in like-new condition. I took them off the first month. You can use the 18’s with summer tires and put snow tires on the 17’s and always have a set of stock GLI rims on the car, if you live in a colder climate. It has matching flat black license plate frames and screws front and rear. I have the original window sticker, and all books and manuals. Both key fobs are included. I have also just paid the registration, so it’s valid until March 2015. The scheduled services have been done at 10,000 miles and again at 15,000 miles. I will be doing the 20,000 mile service soon. I also changed the oil and filter at 3,300 miles because I just didn't like the idea of going 10k miles on the oil that came from the factory. I also changed the oil drain plug with an ECS tuning / Magnetic drain plug. Only VW specific oil and VW and MANN filters have bused. I also only use 91+ premium gasoline. Usually Chevron, Mobile or 76. That’s about it. If you have an interest in the car, feel free to contact me. I had to order this car with the gray/ black color option and Autobahn package with manual 6 speed transmission. I have seen a few 2012’s for sale, but remember that they did not have a traction control button prior to 2013. In other words, you cannot disable the traction control like you can on the 2013. Also, there are no TPMS sensors in the wheels of the 2013. The previous model had them, and that means that when you swap rims/tires, you have to make sure they also have the TPMS sensors. On this car, you can swap rims and tires all you like. There is one button inside the glove box that you push to re-program the system. It uses the ABS system to monitor tire rotation. That is how it measures the air pressure in the tires, via the difference in the turning rate of the wheels. Look on forum sights and you will see what I am talking about. Thanks for reading my ad and if there is anything I didn’t put on here that you would like to know or if you have an interest in this car, I can be contacted at 949-412-5723. Car is also listed locally. Listing will be deleted if it sells locally. I also drive the car daily, so the mileage will be about 70 miles per day higher, but I will update mileage weekly while the car is listed for sale. I will be continuing to take care of any services or warranties and anything else that the car may need until it sells. I have always treated all my cars/ bikes/ projects the same way. Until it sells, it's still my car and maintained accordingly. As a bonus, I will have it detailed and I will fill the gas tank before you pick it up. The Current NADA values on my car are $21,500 Trade In and $24,625 Clean Retail Value. Thank you for reading my listing. Let me know if there is anything regarding the GLI that I have not covered in this listing, that you would like to know about. Have a great day! P.S. If you do not need the 18” wheels and would rather purchase the car with the 17” wheels that are on it right now…Then I would be willito sell the 18” wheels separately and sell the car for $22,000. Please keep in mind that I will not sell the rims before I sell the car. Just in case new owner wants both factory sets. Thank you.

Recharge Wrap-up: AutoNation CEO calls anti-Tesla laws unnecessary, Common Pence donates subway money

Thu, Nov 13 2014

Volkswagen has presented a list of near-term technologies to improve fuel economy and decrease emissions. The list includes an addition to a coasting function in its stop-start system, a 10-speed DSG transmission and a more power-dense four-cylinder TDI engine. Volkswagen aims to be the world's most sustainable automaker by 2018 through electric mobility, improved design and increased environmental performance from internal combustion vehicles. Volkswagen also announced other technologies for increased interactivity and connectivity in its vehicles. Read more at Green Car Congress. Commence Pence is a system that allows subway riders in London to donate their unused transit money to charity. People visiting the city often load up enough on their subway card (called Oyster Card) to get them through their trip and end up with unused funds leftover. Zander Whitehurst, a British designer, has created a device that can use the card's RFID to accept leftover funds, which then get diverted to charity rather than reverting back to the agency in charge of running the subway fare system. See the video below or read more at Wired. Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation has called Michigan's efforts to ban Tesla's direct sales in the state "unnecessary protectionism." The statement comes as a bit of a surprise, as it dissents from the majority of auto dealers who support a franchise model, as well as laws that forbid automakers selling directly to the consumer. "If Elon Musk wants to make a mistake and go with an inefficient distribution system, that's his right as an American," says Jackson, showing he feels he has little to fear from the electric automaker. Jackson has more to say on the matter, which you can read over at Green Car Reports. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

VW's credit ratings could take a beating

Fri, Sep 25 2015

In addition to a significant drop in its share price already, Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal is continuing to have major financial repercussions on the German automaker. According to The Detroit News, credit rating agencies like Standard & Poor's and Moody's changed their forecasts on the company to negative, and Fitch has considered doing so, as well. Volkswagen appears to have the money to cover the costs of this ordeal, but the agencies question the effect that this has in the long term. "Moody's concern, however, is that Volkswagen's alleged breach of US environment rules and, especially, the process by which that breach occurred, will have an adverse effect on its reputation and credibility within the global passenger car markets," the company wrote in a note to investors, according to The Detroit News. VW has initially set aside $7.25 billion to fix things, but the potential shakeup of top executives has caused some investor uncertainty, too. The actual costs for VW to deal with this scandal are still unknown. In the US, the Department of Justice has begun a criminal investigation, and with other automakers the government has settled for $900 million against General Motors and $1.2 billion against Toyota. Attorneys general in 29 states have started looking deeper, according to The Detroit News, and regulators in Europe, South Korea, and Canada have commenced their own probes, as well. Related Video:

At least 30 VW managers knew of emissions cheat

Wed, Oct 14 2015

You know how the Volkswagen diesel scandal is very, very, very bad? Well, if a report from Germany's Der Spiegel is true, it's about to get a lot worse. Throughout the entire affair, VW has maintained that it was a small, isolated group behind the so-called defeat devices. Der Spiegel, though, claims that at least 30 managers knew what was going on and that dozens will be suspended for their role in the scandal. The story cites both an external probe ordered by VW and conducted by US law firm Jones Day as well as the company's own preliminary findings. This report flies directly in the face of what Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn, shown above, said in his sworn testimony to congress last week. Horn straight up said that the scandal "was something individuals did," blaming a sort of rogue group of software engineers (although he also acknowledged such an argument was hard to swallow). If it's proven that he was among the 30 employees involved, or he can be otherwise connected, the embattled exec could be in big trouble. According to the Der Speigel story, a VW spokesperson said, "The number is without foundation." Der Spiegel also cited a VW engineer, who said that any diesel engine, like the EA188, EA189, and EA288, that could get by without pricey emissions controls should "have [made] any engine developers leery." We should expect additional information on VW's internal response to the scandal later this week, when Group CEO Matthias Mueller addresses management.
