Clean on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
Mk. V GTI for sale, I am the fifth owner. I love the car but It’s time for something newer.
This is a great used car in good condition. The ride is comfortable with a quality interior, one of the best at this price point. The steering, acceleration, and just general driving characteristics are all fantastic. What's even better is how much capability you get along with it. Despite being a two-door the back seats are still spacious and not too difficult to get into. You get a good amount of cargo space as well, even more with the backseats folded down, I was able to fit my mountain bike in it. Fuel economy is pretty great for a turbocharged engine as well, I usually get around 25-27mpg.
Mods: Nothing major, just an aftermarket intake and stereo head unit with Bluetooth.
I've had a lot of recent maintenance done:
Brand new tires, they're barely a month old
Fixed a vacuum leak and replaced the oil dipstick
Replaced the brake booster and brake booster hoses
Replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor
Replaced the oil separator pres. regulating valve
Replaced the crankcase vent valve gasket
Replaced the breather hose
The car is in good condition, especially for how many miles it's driven, however, there are a few (mostly cosmetic) issues with it:
Sunspots on the exterior
Scraped a curb while parking once and the front splitter came loose a little
The passenger seat adjuster is broken off, though luckily the seat is stuck in a good position so legroom for both the front seat and rear-seat passengers is still good.
Front left parking light is out (which causes a warning light). This light would only be on while the vehicle is stationary.
Mechanical:
The only mechanical issue I know of is that the engine thermostat needs to be replaced (this is causing the check engine light to be on). I have the part and was planning on doing it myself but it is a tedious repair and I simply don't have the time. The repair is doable yourself but it might be easiest to just take the part to a shop and have them do it.
VIN: WVWFV71K07W256666

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over.
