Bethesda, Maryland, United States

Current Mileage is 20,000... I am listing my 2013 GLI Autobahn Edition, rather than waiting to trade it in. What is the reason I would sell it, rather than wait? The seats. My previous 5 series BMW seats were great for me because they were almost flat. The GLI seats have a very low seat height which I love. However… They also have very high bolsters, which are great when you get into a nice corner but not when you commute 70 miles a day. The suspension is also more sporty than I like at this point in my life. My friends seem to love the seats, so it is a matter of preference. I have some extras with the car, and all of it is included in the price. I already know what I can get for trade in, but the car I want is not out yet. I have not paid it off because my interest rate is almost nothing. I am asking for less than what I owe on it, and I will pay off any balance that is due upon sale. It's your choice if you prefer to pay VW financial directly, or if you would rather pay me. I will give you a legal Bill of Sale and also a Statement of Fact both of which are legal DMV forms, and will transfer ownership to you as soon as the loan is paid and the title is cleared. The title is held electronically and will be released by VW 1-2 weeks at the most, after loan payoff. I could have the seats re-upholstered and have the bolsters removed and the leather redone, but I originally only bought the car while I was waitingget a new wagon and I don’t want to get into customizing it too much. So, here is all the info regarding the car. It is a 2013 GLI with Autobahn package and manual 6 speed transmission. I have both the cloth matts (in the car) and the rubber heavy duty GLI matts (brand new and included). It has a trunk liner with dividers. I have a 1080p HD wide angle dash cam that is mounted and included with the car. It has had the Soundaktor (fake sound generator) unplugged. I can plug it back in or leave it, your choice. I didn’t want any fake sounds in my car, and it’s much quieter inside the car without it. FULL DISCLOSURE: The front windshield was replaced about 6 months ago, due to a large can or something getting kicked up by a car ahead of me on the freeway. (Something always seems to happen wbuy a brand new car… Like it’s a magnet). I have 17” GLI OEM wheels and tires that I put on the car, because I wanted all the Autobahn featuredidnwathe 18” two tone rims on there. Not my style. I like understated. But I also have the 18” GLI Bathhurst wheels and tires that I took off the car and stored. They have very little wear on the tires and are in like-new condition. I took them off the first month. You can use the 18’s with summer tires and put snow tires on the 17’s and always have a set of stock GLI rims on the car, if you live in a colder climate. It has matching flat black license plate frames and screws front and rear. I have the original window sticker, and all books and manuals. Both key fobs are included. I have also just paid the registration, so it’s valid until March 2015. The scheduled services have been done at 10,000 miles and again at 15,000 miles. I will be doing the 20,000 mile service soon. I also changed the oil and filter at 3,300 miles because I just didn't like the idea of going 10k miles on the oil that came from the factory. I also changed the oil drain plug with an ECS tuning / Magnetic drain plug. Only VW specific oil and VW and MANN filters have bused. I also only use 91+ premium gasoline. Usually Chevron, Mobile or 76. That’s about it. If you have an interest in the car, feel free to contact me. I had to order this car with the gray/ black color option and Autobahn package with manual 6 speed transmission. I have seen a few 2012’s for sale, but remember that they did not have a traction control button prior to 2013. In other words, you cannot disable the traction control like you can on the 2013. Also, there are no TPMS sensors in the wheels of the 2013. The previous model had them, and that means that when you swap rims/tires, you have to make sure they also have the TPMS sensors. On this car, you can swap rims and tires all you like. There is one button inside the glove box that you push to re-program the system. It uses the ABS system to monitor tire rotation. That is how it measures the air pressure in the tires, via the difference in the turning rate of the wheels. Look on forum sights and you will see what I am talking about. Thanks for reading my ad and if there is anything I didn’t put on here that you would like to know or if you have an interest in this car, I can be contacted at 949-412-5723. Car is also listed locally. Listing will be deleted if it sells locally. I also drive the car daily, so the mileage will be about 70 miles per day higher, but I will update mileage weekly while the car is listed for sale. I will be continuing to take care of any services or warranties and anything else that the car may need until it sells. I have always treated all my cars/ bikes/ projects the same way. Until it sells, it's still my car and maintained accordingly. As a bonus, I will have it detailed and I will fill the gas tank before you pick it up. The Current NADA values on my car are $21,500 Trade In and $24,625 Clean Retail Value. Thank you for reading my listing. Let me know if there is anything regarding the GLI that I have not covered in this listing, that you would like to know about. Have a great day! P.S. If you do not need the 18” wheels and would rather purchase the car with the 17” wheels that are on it right now…Then I would be willito sell the 18” wheels separately and sell the car for $22,000. Please keep in mind that I will not sell the rims before I sell the car. Just in case new owner wants both factory sets. Thank you.

VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013


Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
