**This vehicle is in need of significant mechanical repair** While this VW does run and drive, it will need significant repair before it can be driven and I would highly reccomend that you have it trailered away from our dealership. Read sections below for more details regarding condition. Vehicle Description: This Turbo Diesel VW will make a great project car for someone looking to save huge money on fuel! This VW has had 3 previous owners and 0 accident history per autocheck. At 241,581 miles, the exterior of this vehicle is in fair condition for this age and miles. The exterior does show signs of rust - especially on the hood, fenders and hatch (see pictures & video). The passenger side mirror housing is cracked and it is missing the rear wiper. The windshield is cracked along the top. The interior is in above average condition for the year and miles -- there is some wear on the plastic covered items on the interior like the door handles and radio buttons but overall the interior is clean. The tires are in very good condition, one of the wheel covers is cracked (see pics). The rear hatch is currently not opening from either the inside or outside. The driver side door lock is unable to be engaged (when you hit the lock button, it moves down a bit but will not go all the way down to be locked). The radio is not currently turning on, but it did work when I first got the car. The Air Conditioning is ICE COLD. Mechanically, this car needs transmission work -- from what I have read and been advised it will need a clutch/flywheel replacement. It is difficult to get into gear at times. At idle, the engine shakes which I have also read is a sign of the flywheel needing to be replaced. The check engine light is also on for turbo overboost so it doesn't have full power at higher RPMs. The engine has a slight tick that I have tried to capture in the video. The airbag light is on. I am not a mechanic, but I have tried to describe the mechanic issues as fully as I possibly can but I am not 100% positive that the diagnoises I have provided are accurate - they are just my educated guesses. You are welcome to come check out the car for yourself, but due to the fragile mechanical state that it is in there will be no test-drives. Check out the pictures & video for more information or feel free to email/call me (Michael) at 734-717-3653 with specific questions.

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.
VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
