2004 Volkswagen R32 Low Miles Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
For sale: 2004 VW R32, and easily the nicest one for sale on
ebay. 88,420 miles and is only driven once a week to keep the battery charged. Although
the car is not stock, it features only minor modifications designed to enhance
the driveability of the vehicle. This car has had three owners and was in
Colorado until 86,4xx miles so it has no rust or corrosion anywhere on the
vehicle. I have a relatively complete service history since new (have previous
owner’s records) and all services have been performed on time. Both factory
recalls (coil pack, sunroof drain) have been performed on this vehicle. -
First owner owned vehicle up to 58200 miles and
performed the following modifications: o
K&N filter o
ECS tuning stubby antenna (won’t get ripped off
in car wash. Original included) o
ECS tuning clear side markers o
Hawk performance ceramic brake pads (OE stopping
quality, no brake dust and very long life) -
Second owner was a vehicle broker for his side
business and owned the car for ~2000 miles -
I purchased the vehicle at ~60,200 miles in 2011
and performed the following modifications: o
Carbonio cold air intake with custom AEM Dri-flo
filter to avoid MAF fouling (stock intake is included with vehicle) o
APR tune with stock, 91, 93, and 100 octane tune
with security lockout mode. I’ve seen over 30mpg highway average since
installing the tune o
SSR type-c wheels in 18x8.5 with 235/40/18
Dunlop ZII tires. These are a massive performance upgrade over stock, saving
over 10 lbs/wheel despite the larger width. o
Sport Edition F12 wheels in 17x7.5 with
225/45/17 Yokohama ice guard winter tires. The smaller diameter improved winter
ride quality. o
SEAT Cupra R front lip spoiler gives the car a
sportier touch. o
Replaced front bumper undertray panels- no more
curb rash! I have changed the Haldex differential fluid every 15000
miles or less, which is an extremely important maintenance item on these
vehicles. In addition, transmission and differential fluid was changed at about
84000 miles with Schaffer gear oil by Metrick Methodz in Fort Collins, CO. This car has been freshly detailed inside and out (will have
ext. detail finished 3/9/14), which will leave it looking showroom-fresh aside
from one 3” scuff in the clearcoat behind the driver’s side door. In addition,
the cargo area carpet is wrinkled and the hatch door plastic has a few
scratches in it. The seats show no signs of wear, even the massive driver’s
side bolster- I have always taken great care getting in and out of this thing. This car is an opportunity to buy an R32 that needs nothing,
and if the current market is any indication, should prove to be a good
investment that may even gain value with time. Using the free listing to get my car out there, please contact me for the rest of the pictures that I have of the vehicle and its condition. |

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
UAW Falls 87 Votes Short Of Major Victory In South
Sat, Feb 15 2014Just 87 votes at the Volkswagen plant in Tennessee separated the United Auto Workers union from what would have been its first successful organization of workers at a foreign automaker in the South. Instead of celebrating a potential watershed moment for labor politics in the region, UAW supporters were left crestfallen by the 712-626 vote against union representation in the election that ended Friday night. The result stunned many labor experts who expected a UAW win because Volkswagen tacitly endorsed the union and even allowed organizers into the Chattanooga factory to make sales pitches. The loss is a major setback for the UAW's effort to make inroads in the growing South, where foreign automakers have 14 assembly plants, eight built in the past decade, said Kristin Dziczek, director of the labor and industry group at the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank in Michigan. "If this was going to work anywhere, this is where it was going to work," she said of the Volkswagen vote. Organizing a Southern plant is so crucial to the union that UAW President Bob King told workers in a speech that the union has no long-term future without it. The loss means the union remains largely quarantined with the Detroit Three in the Midwest and Northeast. Many viewed VW as the union's best chance to gain a crucial foothold in the South because other automakers have not been as welcoming as Volkswagen. Labor interests make up half of the supervisory board at VW in Germany, and they questioned why the Chattanooga plant is the company's only major factory worldwide without formal worker representation. VW wanted a German-style "works council" in Chattanooga to give employees a say over working conditions. The company says U.S. law won't allow it without an independent union. In Chattanooga, the union faced stern opposition from Republican politicians who warned that a UAW victory would chase away other automakers who might come to the region. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee was the most vocal opponent, saying that he was told that VW would soon announce plans to build a new SUV in Chattanooga if workers rejected the union. That was later denied by a VW executive, who said the union vote had no bearing on expansion decisions. Other state politicians threatened to cut off state incentives for the plant to expand if the union was approved.
