2004 Vw Golf Tdi 4 Door 5 Speed 90k Miles Diesel From Militant Non Smoker on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:90654
Location:

Columbus, Ohio, United States

Columbus, Ohio, United States

from a private seller with clean and clear title in hand (with my name on it):

a 2004 VW Golf TDI - 2 owners, first was a friend of mine that got a job in Luxemburg and could only take one of his two TDIs - all records incl. maintenance and repair records come with the car.
Unfortunately my friend lost the window sticker.

This car is pretty rare in it's configuration - 5 speed, black matrix interior and NO SUNROOF !
This gives tall people an enormous advantage due to more headroom.
This car has never ever been smoked in !
Garaged every night until recently when it had to make room for the new car.
Still garaged every day at work.
100% stock except for EGR Delete and Rocket Chip Stage 1+.
The motivation for the chip was only to gain fuel economy and to enable the EGR delete,
this car was never raced or abused.

The car has 90k miles on it and it just received the 80k service incl. the complete timing belt service (timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt rollers (X3), metal impeller water pump, serpentine belt, G12 coolant) and new rear brakes (rotors and pads) from Jon Hamilton. The EGR delete and rocket chip were done at the same time.
This recent service (parts and labor) carries a 24 month and 24k mile warranty and cost ~$2300.
The car also just received a brand new fender at a VW / Audi certified body shop which was covered by VW's 12 year corrosion warranty.

In the last months i drove the car to Cincinnati and Chicago and averaged 49 mpg driving ~5 mph over speed limit.
>50 mpg without AC or cruise using standard hyper mile-ing techniques are easily obtainable.
I have managed to average 52 mpg over an entire month with a lot of long distance driving,
i never over inflate tires or any other non sense like that which sacrifices safety for a few mpg.

The car runs great, will meet for test drive and all records will go with car.
It has some dents, dings and scratches - mostly from parking incidents but is well worth the asking price.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.
Please do not contact me quoting KBB or other websites.
Please do not contact me unless you have the funds ready and are able to purchase immediately.

I will arrange PPIs at buyers expense (and reserve the right to refuse shops that i deem not trustworthy with my cars)
and would be more than happy to accommodate a fly & drive.
Closest airport to me is CMH (Port Columbus International Airport).
My last TDI with almost 200k miles went to a very happy and satisfied buyer in Texas who flew in and drove
it back (never having driven a manual car before) and averaged 56mpg all the way back ;-)

And furthermore do not forget that you should ask EVERY seller of a car listed as for sale by owner if they have the title in hand with THEIR name on it -> stopcurbstoning.com !
Report every curbstoner and dealer listing as private seller to ebay (maybe one day it will help if enough people complain) !

Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
