Ratty Rescue: Jersey Shore GTI

Must. Not. Make. MTV references. Today’s Ratty Rescue may have spent too much time in the sun, it’s definitely been around the block a few times, and its star is definitely faded (so much for not making references to Snooki and her crew). If you liked our Find Of The Day earlier this week, well, this GTI needs some GTL: some gym, tanning, and laundry.

Gym
With over 170,000 miles, this hot hatch has seen some action. The seller, VWVortex member gtiboy66, has done some work on the car recently. It has a new clutch, flywheel, PCV system, and a few other things. The ad states the car runs and drives well, but The Situation is probably not quite perfect with this GTI’s performance. With a few performance injections, this hatch can get back to hottie status. A KO4 turbocharger upgrade would be like a testosterone injection.

Tanning
Like the fine lines around JWoww’s eyes, the body of this GTI needs some attention. The clearcoat is neither; it’s now far from clear and it certainly doesn’t cover the entire car. It’s time to get this car out of the sun and get it to a professional body shop ASAP.

Laundry
While we’re sure gtiboy66 has taken good care of this car, with 178,000 miles, this GTI will need a good scrubbing. The one interior photo doesn’t show the overall condition of the inside, so you’ll need to request more. We’ll refrain from mentioning dead peeling skin, protein farts, and crusty bronzer in the fabric. You’re welcome.

What’s so great with this GTI? With a price similar to an off-season shore rental, there are lots of funds left for enhancements. For only $4,800, you’ll be fist-pumping all the way to the club. Take a look at the ad in our classifieds for more information.

Tell Snooki we said hi.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
