1991 Volkswagen Golf Gl Hatchback 2-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
This auction is for my '91 golf. 8v. My situation has changed and it just doesn't make sense for me to own a
car at the moment. I only drive 2 miles total a day during the week and
roughly 25-50 miles total on the weekend! I have a new scooter that I
have been using more regularly since spring and its time to move the Golf
along to another enthusiast who can continue to love and care for this
very clean dub. No mechanical issues at all! Runs great
and drives great! This is really a nice example of a solid &
reliable, daily driven Mk2. This car is by and far the most reliable and well sorted Mk2 Ive had the
pleasure to own in a very long time. Doesn't even have that typical 8v lifter clatter! Nice examples like this are
becoming very difficult to find for reasonable money. Don't miss this
opportunity! If you've been wanting a Mk2 for some time; NOW is the time
to buy! ALL
the neglected maintenance from 20+ years has been put right and brought up to date at great
pain and expense by me! This car needs nothing mechanically and
only very minor cosmetic attention. The few very minor "flaws" are listed below. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!
The Good: NEW: Timing belt & roller (Dec 2013) NEW: Water pump, thermostat, accessory & alternator belts (Dec 2013) NEW: Battery & starter replaced (Dec 2013) NEW: Vacuum hoses (Dec 2013) NEW: Sylvania Ultra gold headlights (Dec 2013) NEW: Drive axle replaced (Dec 2013) NEW: Rear wheel bearings (Jan 2014) NEW: Shifter bushings & rear motor mount (Jan 2014) NEW: Tires & alignment (Mar 2014) NEW: Throttle cable and distributor (May 2014). .Clutch and trans are excellent and solid.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
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.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
