2011 Volkswagen Golf Tdi, Manual 6-speed, 4-door, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Crawfordsville, Indiana, United States

2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI Background / History I am the original owner. I purchased the car on December 31, 2010 from Mike Raisor Imports in Lafayette, Indiana. This car has been my primary transportation for my 48-mile (one way) commute to work since I purchased it. I really like this car but will be driving my truck for work purposes now. If I was to buy another small car right now, it would probably be another Golf TDI just like this one. The Car's Life / Condition The car doesn't know what a cigarette is - it has never been smoked in at any time. The car has never been used to transport pets of any kind. It has never been wrecked in any way. I don't drive it hard although it is an excellent handling car. I don't hypermile it - it gets great mileage all on its own. More on mileage - If you're looking at this car, you probably have already done the research on fuel economy - it is outstanding. I typically average 48+ on during warmer months and a few mpg less during winter (due to winter fuel blend). Trips exceeding 50 mpg have been common. The interior is in excellent condition. Only interior blemishes I know of are small scratches in the plastic at the rear hatchback (visualize sliding something into the back of the car). The exterior is in very good condition. There are only three exterior blemishes that I know of - a door ding, rock ding in the hood, and a small crack in a headlight cover from a rock (see photos). Maintenance All maintenance on the car has been performed either by Mike Raisor Imports (the dealer I bought it from) or by me. I have records of these services, including photographs (when I did the work). The brakes are original and don't squeak, pull, shake, etc. To answer a common question, I don't know how much life is left in the brakes - they will need to be replaced at some point. I don't drive the car hard (my truck has over 160k on the original brakes). Extras I have an extra set of aluminum wheels with Michelin X-ICE snow tires, purchased through TireRack for about $1000. The car doesn't drive poorly in the snow even without the snow tires, but I am a big believer in them - a lot cheaper than a wreck. The snow tires are included in the auction. I have about $150 worth of oil and filters which I will include with the car. This includes 10 quarts (or the metric approximate) of the VW approved synthetic oil, oil filters (at least 4), a fuel filter, air filter, & cabin air filter. Shipping / Payment A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of winning the bid. Shipping is not included in the purchase price of the car. The winning bidder is responsible for delivery / pick-up of the car. A bank check or cash is acceptable payment. Your payment will need to clear before I release the car and sign the title over. |

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
