This sweet little BLUE 4dr Golf is an automatic GLS.She has a sun/moon roof and heated seats, Tape/CD player and all that other stuff. :)

Mileage is 70,348 which is pretty low given her age. She is a 2003.
I'm the only owner, but bought it used with 5,000 miles on it. It was a dealer rental car prior to my purchase.
I bought her the day that I moved to LA from North Carolina. She's been across the country a couple of times. I rarely drove her b/c my work was always either really close or at home. She's mostly just seen the freeway, but she's gotten pretty dinged up from street parking in Santa Monica, and sitting under some pretty gnarly trees that weren't kind to her hood paint job. 

The paint has gone bad, starting with the hood and now moving along to the side panels on the top of the car on both sides of the hood. It needs to be repainted. There are also several other minor damage areas that look awful, but should be quick inexpensive updates, for example the front grill is busted up and missing, one of the side view mirrors is cracked, there are scrapes along the sides. It's a little beat up, but if you don't care or if you are an aspiring or accomplished auto body mechanic, then this is the project of your dreams. Fix er up and sell er for a profit!

I've kept her oil changed and her tires good throughout time, but she's probably due some new oil. I think her tires are still pretty legit though - with lots of road life left in them. I'll got kick em for you for sure if you have any questions.

This little car has been SOOooo good to me and I kind of want her to go to a great home more than I care about making a couple thousand bucks. She'll be missed. I used to smoke cigarettes in her, but I haven't in YEARS, and she doesn't seem to hold the smell. I no longer smoke so neither does she. She cleans up quite nice, but she shows her age.

You can view an album of her photos here, and feel free to reach out to me if you'd like additional information. MORE PICS

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.

Tue, Apr 4 2023

The 2023 New York International Auto Show shifts into high gear Wednesday, April 5, and our reporters are already in the city, with events unfolding even as we speak. We'll being seeing cars in person, interviewing automaker insiders and snapping photos of vehicles and all the other oddities that pop up at an event like this and we'll be giving you live updates and color from the show floor along the way.  Ram, Hyundai, Subaru, Kia, VW and Jeep are all expected to show something new this week, and other automakers are known to be hosting off-site events that may produce news — expected or otherwise.
