FS: 2012 VW Golf TDI - 6 SPD Manual - 43 MPG

Hey all. You may have seen my ad for my 2002 330Ci that I sold in January.http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...913&highlight=

I picked up a brand new, fully loaded 2012 VW Golf TDI with a 6 speed manual transmission to replace it in October of 2011. The Golf has a black exterior and a high quality black interior. I have absolutely loved the versatility, comfort, features, and especially fuel economy. The 230 lb-ft of torque is available right off idle and really makes this car quite fun to drive. I consistently achieve 43 MPG combined and nearly 600 miles per tank.

However, my driving habits have changed (I will be driving less that I have been for the last 12 months) and I am looking to get back into a BMW. The vehicle has 26,XXX miles on it and looks and drives like new. The pictures show 25,677, but I am home for Thanksgiving and will be driving the vehicle back to Cincinnati. The CarFax is clean. The Golf is located in Cincinnati, OH. I am asking $23,000 OBO.

The bumper to bumper warranty is still in effect until October 2014 or 36,000 miles. This will be followed with a power train warranty until October 2016 or 60,000 miles.
