2001 Volkswagen Vw Gti Glx on 2040-cars
Imperial, Missouri, United States
I'd like to trade this car for a "1st Generation 4Runner".....or
sell it out right...I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY OTHER POSSIBLE
TRADES...please.
I've had the car about 3-4 years....my back and forth to work car...when I bought it, it had just received a new clutch. After I purchased it, I put new rotors and brakes on all fours, replaced the water pump/serpentine belt and tensioner, plugs and plug wires, black leather center consel lid, replaced the front tires (have since been replaced again), and intalled an AWE all-stainless catback exhaust, K&N filter intake (I think it is K&N but not sure....I just bought what "German Autoparts" supplied.....The car was inspected and passed in September 2013 after replacing the catalytic converter (cost me $1000). I have put several thousand dollars into the car and I know that some of it was maintenance but it currently has just over 166,000 miles and runs and sounds great. The windows are tinted and it looks really AWESOME but the passenger window just started peeling ($25 dollar fix-see photo). It has the 2.8L VR6 with a 5 speed manual. It's all black leather inside...no tears in the leather or the dash, however, the driver side seat back seam needs to be restitched about 3 inch length. This can be easily fixed but I just don't have the time. Windshield does have a crack in it about eight inches long on the passengers side but has not moved in the last 3 years that I've had it and the center counsel serving the back seat area has one missing endcap. It's a pretty car and sounds great...but I need a truck....I don't see many of these on the road...black on black with every option available for the GTI-GLX including sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise, tilt, all leather, stock fog lights and heated front seats. Everything works and it drives great. The engine light goes off and on for some reason ...I'm fairly certain that it's because the air intake hose is not completely sealed around the intake...I've tried wrestling with it but it tires me out...it runs like a race car and I've already replaced the catalytic coverter so I know it's not a high dollar item. Let me know what you would like to know about the car....I'll do my best to answer any questions. Thanks for looking! |

VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
