This vehicle is my pride and joy. I purchased this vehicle from a VW/Audi dealer in Newton, NJ a little over 2 years ago. I am the second owner. I will explain this vehicle to the best of my ability and perspective buyers are welcome to inspect the vehicle upon appointment in central NJ.
This is the 2009 MKV Volkswagen GTI. I purchased the vehicle because I needed a daily driver that would be fun to drive, fit my family, and not beat me up on gas. The vehicle has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Taking this vehicle to work was simply a joy. It's hard to find a car that's as versatile and fun to drive at the same time.
This vehicle has been maintained and have all records to show. VW recommends oil change every 10k. I have done this every 5K with Castrol Edge 5w-40. Engine is smooth and vehicle starts, runs, and drives perfect as it should.
For the money this vehicle includes things that most cars in it's price range can not compete with.
- Heated seats
- HID adjustable headlamps w/ fog lights
- Ambient lighting
- Air condition glove box
- Sirius radio with ipod input jack
- 10 Speakers
- Automatic speed sensitive wipers
- etc, etc, etc.
The vehicle has had no real issues in the passed. The repairs made in the car are as follows:
- Seat making noise (Fixed under warranty)
- Brake wear sensor malfunction. Replaced with OEM part
Maininence items that have been done include:
- Oil changed every 5k miles
- DSG service completed at 39k
- Fuel filter changed at 39k
- Front brakes have less than 5k (New pads and rotors)
- Rear brakes are BRAND NEW (Still had meat on the pads, just wanted new parts on the vehicle)
- Brake fluid flushed and bled
- Tires have less than 5K on them.
Issues that a buyer may question:
- VIN History shows fleet and/or lease use. This vehicle was a lease return when I purchased it at 19K miles.
- VIN History shows front end collision. The dealer tells me it was a fender bender that was reported to police with no air bag deployment or towing involved.
- There are no TPMS sensors in the wheels. The wheels are from a 2012 GTI which had the TPMS sensors in a different location. They can be purchased and installed if desired. I can also include the factory wheels instead of these but they have curb damage and tires have about 15k on them.
- Smaller than a dime sized ding on the roof from Hurricane Sandy. This was a branch that fell. I do NOT live on the coast or anywhere near water.
- Small chip on shifter bezel. This is a common VW issue and can be fixed easily by it's new owner.
Why you should consider this vehicle over similar GTI's
- All maintenance records are in my possession
- Paint and interior are in VERY GOOD condition. Only high end products used on this car.
- Fuel has only been Shell or Sunoco 93 octane. No cheap gas every used.
- Vehicle is garage kept MOST of the time.
- Transmission still under 10 yr 100k warranty from VW.
- NO mechanical issues. Very quick and fuel efficient vehicle.
- This is a 2009 which includes updated TSI engine. Burns NO oil and has a timing chain instead of a belt on the FSI engine.
Car is priced to sell. I do not want to get rid of it but since I've been driving a company vehicle I have no need for a third car. Price is OBO but please do not waste my or your time with low ball offers or SPAM.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
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.
