Here is a great example of the rare Volkswagen Karmann Ghia! You don't see these cruising around very often. This 1973 model is perfect for the VW enthusiast who has been searching for a good specimen, or somebody who just wants a car that you don't see everyday. Maybe you need the perfect vehicle to cruise the boulevard with you and your friends, or you might be looking for something that is good on gas, but is not a boring, dime-a-dozen econo-box. This is the car for you!
This Ghia is powered by a 1914cc air-cooled boxer four motor that gets great gas mileage while still providing ample power to get you down the highway at brisk speeds. The engine is fed by dual Delardo carbs, and starts up to a smooth idle. The Ghia is a rear-wheel drive vehicle that is controlled by an Empi shifter that goes smoothly into all 4 gears. The car sounds great with the Bugpack exhaust installed on it.
This VW turns a lot of heads! Not just because of the unique styling of the Ghia, but also because of the nice paint job. It is a deep, fire engine red that really stands out. The imperfections on the paint and body are a fraction of what you would expect of a car that is 40 years old. The black VW wheels compliment the look of the Ghia, and the tires are in great shape. Rust is a minor issue on this vehicle due to it being a California car. All of the chrome is in good shape, and it does retain all of its emblems. The exterior is a 9 out of 10.
Inside, this VW is pretty much stock except for the CD player that provides your cruising tunes. The front seats provide plenty of support while also being very comfortable, but do have some minor wear as seen in the pictures. The carpet, door paneling, dash, and gauges all look good, but would require some attention if you wanted to completely restore it. The odometer shows 33,633 but has probably flipped since it is only 5 digits. All the glass is good, but the headliner is original and does show wear. Overall, I would rate the interior a 7.5 out of 10.
So don't let your chance to drive a truly rare car at a low price pass you by! Be confident that this car is as described. But please remember, even though this VW is in good shape both mechanically and cosmetically, it is 40 years old and is not perfect. The new owner will be happy with his or her new car. I will answer all questions as quickly as possible. The car is currently registered here in California. Thanks for your consideration!

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
