Here is a REALLY hard to find Volkswagen Golf GTI VR6. This car is fast, and it handles like it's on rails. Who's ready for Autocross? I originally purchased this car for some summer time autocross fun. My plans were derailed when my wife stepped in. Oh well, maybe next year! This car is sweet, it is a 5-speed VR6. It is very fast, fast as piss, and it handles like it's on rails. This car is stupid fun to drive. The car runs awesome! The car has many mods for performance, including vented discs all around, coil overs all around, performance hoses, new clutch with titanium flywheel, nice alloys, and much more. This car is very much mechanically sound. I am a VW nut, and I know this is a good one. The only downside to the car is its Ohio body. There is rust on one strut tower (see pic), one spot on the floor under the rear seat, and the hatch is shot. The body has normal wear and tear. The interior is sweet, nice radio, leather, etc. Sunroof isn't working. The linkage is sloppy (like ALL MK3's), reverse and 5th gear can be a challenge if you aren't used to it. The linkage is a piece of cake to replace though. Bottom line, this thing is fun, fast, and affordable. This car has a lot of potential. I welcome anyone to come see the car, and feel free to ask any and all questions! No reserve, good luck!! Any bidders with zero feedback will have their bids cancelled if they have not contacted me prior to bidding. This car is sold as-is with no reserve. A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
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.
Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
