2012 Volkswagen Golf R, APR Tuned stage 2+

 

You have to be a VW enthusiast to appreciate this car.  This could be the most fun car to drive at an affordable price. I purchased this car new and drove it like a sweet old lady until I had 1,000 miles on the clock, then the upgrades started. First I had it tuned to APR stage I and unleashed the horses which took the HP from 250 to 300. Unfortunately for my wallet this only gave me a thirst for more. So a new APR turbo back exhaust, a high pressure fuel pump, a VWR cold air intake and a ARP re-flash to stage II+ boosted this screaming howling hatchback to a peak horsepower of 362hp and 370 ft-lbs of torque. The stock clutch that linked this much power to the 6 speed manual transmission could not take the extra hp without slipping and required a further upgrade to the South Bend  DXD KFSI HD OFE endurance clutch and flywheel package. The stock wheels also whilst adequate did not quite look the part with the steel grey paint job so VWR 18” X 8” ET45 gunmetal grey wheels were also required to complete the package. The total selling price of this car new without taxes and fees was $35,817 in April 2012. In addition the total cost for the upgrades: $8,000 installed, for a total investment of $43,817.

 

This car is now offered for sale complete with the stock parts (including the stock aluminium wheels if you need them for winter tires) or if a buyer wants I will keep all these parts for sale separately and reduce the final sale price of the car by $3,000.

 

If you are still reading you are probably aware of the other specifications for the R as it only comes fully loaded, however to reassure you let me give you the additional details anyway; This one is a 2 door hatchback, 4 wheel drive with 6 speed manual transmission. Sun roof, leather R seats and metal finish pedals. I bought this car new in May 2012. It is in immaculate condition. This car has never been in an accident or had any kind of body repair. I have only used the car on the road; it has never been on a track or raced in anyway. All the upgrades were carried out by an APR dealer here in Atlanta, I have the invoices and the APR certificate. All maintenance has been carried out on time. All records and documents in hand.  Non-smoker, no pets or kids have ever been in this car.  Just under 12,000 miles on the clock. Full Warranty and Carefree maintenance package until May 2015 or 36,000 miles. Power train warranty until May 2017 or 60,000 miles. Premium 8 RCD 510 sound with satellite radio (not subscribed) and media/i phone/i touch connectivity but you don’t need i tunes music, just listen to the car.  Mobile phone package with blue tooth.  I have both sets of keys. Don’t even ask about the MPG because if you care you don’t want this car, but it’s better than a Corvette or a Mustang. Clear title in hand. This is a private sale.

 

Professional Inspection is welcome. Buyer is responsible for collection.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
