Completely clean AutoCheck report!

Car is in good condition, runs but has some issues:

The cons:
Rear brakes are sticking due to some rust and will need to be replaced. CEL codes are coming up as well due to O2 sensors needing to be replaced. I will include one of the two that it appears to need. O2 sensor codes are not always about the O2 sensor but I got it anyway, just didn't get around to replacing it. Car does not start up on first crank, it takes a second crank to get it going, this happens only on a cold start. It works fine if stopping the engine and then turning it back on within a few minutes.

Windsor blue with tan/black leather interior, needs a bit of work but have a lot of extra stuff to go with it to make this a very excellent deal.

The pros:

All doors, handles and windows work without any issues. Has a nice aftermarket CD/AM/FM unit.

Completely redone headliner (looks brand new, took me some time to do it but it was well worth it).

Shocks were replaced with Bilstein TC units about 20,000 mi ago. Water pump, and all cooling plastic components (thermostat housing, water distribution pipe, etc.) were replaced about 10,000 mi ago. Pulley for accessory belt was replaced with an all-aluminum version. Front suspension components (ball-joints, bushings, tie rod ends) were replaced about 40,000 mi ago.

Car was kept in excellent condition with oil changes every 3-4 thousand miles.

Almost all highway miles since I've owned it.

Interior is well-maintained and clean. Some minor blemishes around the inside, some torn leather on the driver's seat and a smaller tear on the passenger's seat also.

Will include a variety of extra parts. Rear brake caliper, rear brake pads, rear rotor, O2 sensor, and other extra parts as well.

Also including the original 5-speed transmission that came with the car. It was replaced due to issues with the reverse gear. Car is working fine with replacement transmission.

4x Michelin Ice-X snow tires used for one season are on the car now. I will also include 8x of the bottle-cap (stock) rims (2 sets).

Exterior is in decent shape. Does have a crease on driver's side door and some expected wear and tear.

Location is in Rhinebeck, NY (near the Kingston/Poughkeepsie area, 100 miles (approximately 2 hours) straight north of NYC).

Car runs but brakes are dragging a bit, best to come pick up with dolly or have it repaired somewhere locally.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I will reply within a few hours, if not instantly.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
