This bug runs just fine, engine is strong and all gears work properly. It is a good, solid vehicle but does show some wear. It has about 7000 miles on it since it was built. It has not seen any off-road use, but has been driven on dirt/gravel roads where it has been in South Dakota. The car was originally built professionally in Surprise, AZ before it came to South Dakota. I am selling it because I have 4 VW based vehicles and I just don't use them often enough to justify keeping them all.
The vehicle sale includes a tow bar, two extra sets of tires as listed above, and one extra set of Centerline wheels which have the studded tires mounted on them.
So, what's wrong with it? Here are the items I'm aware of:
There are a few hail dents in the roof, courtesy of a South Dakota hail storm.
The Line lock does not work properly
There are chips in the paint in various areas, notably on the left rear fender. The rear fenders are gray fiberglass and have been primed and rattle can painted.
There are areas on the body that have been primered and rattle can painted. No rust, but I filled in holes in the doors left by previous owners mirror installation, also holes filled on rear quarter panels where fenders were replaced.
The VDO speedometer is driven by a magnetic sensor which is not working correctly. I have been using the GPS for a speedometer. The speedometer drive either needs to be replaced with a direct drive or properly located to work correctly. As a result, the mileage shown above is way in excess of the actual mileage since the engine rebuild.
Shipping: I do not ship. You must make arrangements to ship the vehicle if necessary. I can deliver the vehicle and extras in the Denver area. I travel from Denver to Hot Springs, SD so I could meet buyer on the route to deliver also. You can tow this car easily with the included tow bar. PLEASE: If you want me to deliver as stated above, contact me before bidding to make arrangements since I have a tight schedule.
Payment: I will accept cash or bank check written on local bank. Paypal is acceptable if you cover the paypal additional fees (2.9%). Full payment must be made before I can deliver the vehicle to you.
Inspection: The vehicle will be in Westminster, CO prior to the auction ending date. You may make arrangements through ebay email to see the car anytime after June 8.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
