Up for sale is this absolutely gorgeous VW convertible. I am a vw mechanic and have owned many VW's and this is one of the nicest I have ever seen. I got this car from a lady who has been restoring this car for the past several years. Recently she was diagnosed with a serious illness and was forced to sell. I bought the car from her to get her money for treatment, etc. I would like to get out of what I got it for so please bid with confidence. I am very picky about my cars so I will describe this car as well as possible so you will know exactly what you will be buying. The paint is opal green and is an easy 9.5 out of 10. The top is new and cost $3000 alone. It is a custom, cloth top, no cheap vinyl here. The interior is new. All carpet, door panels, headliner, etc. is new. The original clock and A/C still work like new. The interior is an easy 9.5 out of 10. There is a small crack about an inch long in the dash but you can't really see it. The rubber is new all around the car. The widshield has a small hairline crack on the upper left corner but you have to look to see it. The motor runs like new. She replaced the crappy fuel injected engine with the much more reliable carb motor and it runs like new. The motor leaks nothing! Before I got the car it was completely tuned up. This bad boy will go anywhere with no problems. Overall you will be hard pressed to find a nicer example. This will make you an awesome ragtop and you will get noticed. Show or go, you will love this car! This is atruly no reserve sale so bid often and with confidence. I will assist in any shipping needs. No scammers please, I do not have the time or patience... Thanks, Joe Call me with ANY questions 803-431-4263

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
