Ratty Rescue: White GLI at a Black Friday Price

What constitutes a VWVortex Ratty Rescue? It can be a number of things: a rare model in rough condition, a popular model in need of a top-to-bottom restoration, or in the case of this 2012 Jetta GLI, a decent car at a low price. If you like the Vader-in-training GLI we featured on Monday, here’s one you can get into for a lot less coin.

Let’s start with the best feature of this car: the price. For only $6500 you can park this winter white sedan in your driveway. Speaking of winter: the car even comes with Michelin X-Ice XI3 tires mounted to aftermarket wheels.  And not to worry: the OEM “Bathurst” 18″ wheels come with the car too.

The rest of the car is standard GLI stuff. There’s a sunroof, heated seats, Fender audio, power windows/locks/mirrors, and it may have Climatronic, but it’s tough to tell from the photos.

This 2012 GLI also has new brakes, a new water pump, and a new battery (maybe that explains the jumper cables in the trunk). With 138,000 miles, you should ask for the DSG service history.

For such a low price you get plenty of performance. The 2.0T is begging for a chip tune, a performance exhaust, and even some lowering springs or coilovers.

If you want to check out this GLI in person, it’s in Long Island, New York. Take a look at the ad in our classifieds or the craigslist ad. And if you missed Black Friday deals, know there are still some great offers out there.

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 ...
