2004 Volkswagen Mk4 Golf R32 Supercharged 3.2l Vr6 on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:109000
Location:

Awesome VW, 2004 MKIV R32.  Many performance upgrades, including:

Stage 2 VF Supercharger with intercooler (you can see the big intercooler hiding behind the low center grill)
Methanol Injection.  Metered according to boost, using a Snow Performance injection controller.  Meth tank/pump are mounted in the rear hatch area.
Oversize stainless exhaust.
Adjustable coil-over suspension.
Slotted and drilled brake rotors.

This car is super fun to drive.   On the track, it'll run with much more expensive cars.  Previous owner (I think I'm owner #2), did almost all the upgrades, and claimed ~450hp, with race mode loaded into the ECU, on the right fuel.   I'm won't claim a HP number (haven't dyno tested it), but can attest that it is a VERY strong runner.

Lots of recent work - including new alternator and battery, new serpentine/supercharger-drive belt, new oil pump and bearings, new clutch, new dogbone lower motor mount.

The pictures speak for themselves.   And the sound (turn it up!):

Direct video link (embedded video doesn't seem to work for some mobile devices):
Video.


From the VIN, ebay automatically extracted some of the vehicle details.  Rest assured, this is no longer a "naturally aspirated" car.

In the interest of full disclosure, let's list the known flaws:
 - The tint job on the windows could use a re-do.
 - It's 10 year old paint.  So, it's got a few nicks, door dings, tired clear coat in a couple spots.   But it is certainly presentable and drivable as-is.  (it's just not new-car fresh)
 - Previous owner had the rear seats out (lighter weight for racing).  I am still missing the drivers side lower rear seat.  I may still recover the original from the previous owner; but - if not - have a source where a near-new replacement can be purchased for $65, including shipping.
 - It appears that there was, at one time, a big subwoofer box in the back.  Wiring is still there for it; but I don't have the sub, box, or amp.
 - I haven't had this car long, and to be honest, don't know as much as I should about it.   For instance, I haven't played with the flashloader.  So the new owner will get to figure out a few things  dialing it in for his or her preference.

Car is located in Salt Lake City, UT.  It's stored at a shop, and available for inspection.  I can help facilitate shipping if required.

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
