It is hard to let go of my dream but I have put a lot of money in to her and she needs a new heart. I bought her from a her second buyer a man in OK a few months ago, she has given me a lot of laughs and some great times, but I think she needs a new motor, which I can't afford. She is has an original interior and could be priced out and you could double your investment.
Good Aspects of buying her. Already replaced all the fuel and vacuum lines, of course oil, plugs wires dist cap rotor etc. replaced front disc brake calipers, discs machines, new pads, a couple new rubber brake hoses that had dried out, rear brake cylinders, seals and brake line. Replaced fuel tank filler hose. We replaced the windshield lip metal with new steel from Germany along with new German windshield and rubber seal. The top has new canvas and rubber seals all around the fiberglass top. The interior, we replaced all the wood floor with new oak plywood before installing the new carpet. The metal floor was perfect. Driver and passenger seats were stripped, premiered painted, replaced padding and covered with new upholstery. New carpet, 5 brand new tires and inspected by VW She has a brand new radio and speakers She has new Rear side marker lights New Rubber on Shocks New Side Mirrors Deluxe Bus & Vanwagon Tarp Cover is included New Rear Hatch Mosquito Screen What I am attaching with her purchase: Complete LEFT & RIGHT Front Door Seal Kit w/German Upgrade bought from busdepot.com Things you should know: There is some rust under battery area and I have not done anything to it yet. Doesn't show from the outside of the vehicle but I know it's there. There is some small areas in the back corners that look like someone had tried to fix a small dent. ( smaller than your hand). I will take real close pictures of those two areas. It's the only place on the bus that I found body filler. Like I said its a small area, can't even see it from two meters. Rubber Windshield washer lines need to be replaced or spliced in. |

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A 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?
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
