1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet Base Convertible 2-door 1.8l - No Resrve!! on 2040-cars
Davidsonville, Maryland, United States
|
Just in time for summer!! You are bidding on our family-owned 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet. We have had this car for about 16 years. It belong to my aunt and then I purchased it from her. I have done many upgrades to the car. I have replaced the convertible canvas top. I had repainted it to Porsche guards- red. I added headers and a Techtonic exhaust system. It's a quick little car. I have also replaced the motor and radiator two years ago. The motor is still a stock 8v 1.8 L engine. I have only used premium fuel as well. The steering wheel has been upgraded to a Momo (pictured). The interior including the seats and carpet have all been refurbished as well. The seat covers on all the cars accustomed to match the paint and rims, obviously. Since we have redone the car, it has always been parked in the garage. There is no rust anywhere on the car in the body is bone-straight. It has never been in an accident. In the past 6-7 years, it is never been driven in the rain or snow. Most of the mechanical and cosmetic upgrades have been done in the past 6-7 years but, it is still a work in progress. The rims and tires are like new-they have maybe 2000 miles on them total. I have the original rims and tires and they will convey with the car (must be taken - I need the room!) Additionally, I had to have the speedometer replaced because the original one stopped working @ 157k. Although the odometer reads 110K, the motor, clutch and exhaust have less than 4k miles on them. The radio has been upgraded. It is iPod ready. The a/c and heat also work perfectly.
Mechanical issues: You will need a new battery or to recharge the current one. It has sat for over a year in the garage. It took a while for me to jump it, but it does start and run well. The steering column needs a bracket. The car handles great but you can hear a "bump" when making tight turns. The horn doesn't work. It needs a relay fan switch. While driving, the car runs great, when stopped, the fan doesn't turn on and it may overheat. The fan works, but the relay switch does not. The hose that runs from the antifreeze reservoir to the radiator needs to be replaced. The rubber around the windows needs to be replaced as well. The top doesn't leak but water will get in from the window jams (be careful when washing.) This has never been an issue for me, as I have kept it out of the elements during my ownership. My family and I have had a lot of great memories with the "Red Baron." It has only been a spring and summer car for us and we will miss it greatly, but it is time to move on. Hopefully you will give it the same amount of love and attention that we have. This vehicle is being
offered for sale “AS-IS” because of year and miles. If you are new to Ebay or if you have fewer
than 4 transactions, please contact me prior to bidding for approval to bid or
I will cancel your bid immediately.
There is a $125 documentation fee in addition to the final selling
price. A $500 non-refundable deposit is
required via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Transaction must be
completed within 7 days of auction end (full payment and pick-up arrangements
at least). I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as
possible. Once purchased, this car can
be driven anywhere in the country without issue. For those of you who are not
local, BWI is the closest airport to my location. Contact me via email with any questions.
Please bid with confidence and good luck. |

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
