Find Of The Day: Let’s Make A Deal GLI

Here’s one for the deal-makers. Do you have cash a car to trade? No car to trade but cash in your pocket? If you’re in the market for a killer GLI, here’s your opportunity.

This week’s Find Of The Day looks like a great deal. Here we have a five-year-old 2013 MKVI Jetta GLI Autobahn with somewhere around 56,00 miles on the odometer. This is a certified-used car (CPO) and if you act fast the bumper-to-bumper warranty will still be active. So through August of this year, you can drive this red sports sedan without a care in the world.

Being an Autobahn, this GLI comes loaded with features: navigation, sunroof, 18″ alloy wheels, KESSY keyless entry, push-button start, and much more. Under the hood is the venerable 2.0T engine with 200 horsepower mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Purists rejoice!

And this GLI is far from stock. It sits on H&R Ultralow coilovers. It’s sure to sound sinister with no resonator or muffler. There’s a CTS intake. A Maxton lip spoiler accents the front fascia. And the roof has a vinyl wrap. Inside you’ll find a New South Performance boost gauge, LED interior lights, and a yellow tree air freshener (nothing but the best for this GLI).

But the real story here is the price. The seller, VWVortex member, (ahem) Vuck Folkswagen, is asking $15,500. If you want the black alloy wheels they’re available too for additional scratch. Don’t have $15,500? If you’re sitting on some cash and a car to trade, perhaps a deal can be made. Take a look at the ad in our classifieds. Or see the car yourself in West Springfield, Massachusetts.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
