MOTIVATED TO SELL. LETS MAKE A DEAL!

I have this 1977 Scirocco Champagne Edition for sale. I have owned it for 1 year. The vw mechanic who owned it before me had it for 1 year. Before that, the original owner kept the car in his garage under a car cover. This is a very nice example of 1977. 

The car has minor rust on the corners of passenger door and passenger front fender and corners of rear apron. Its looks to have been repainted at one time in its life and the paint is very shiny and makes the car show very very well. Otherwise the body is in exceptional shape for what it is and includes all upgraded chrome trim. The interior is near mint. Dash has minimal cracking, seats were covered with seat covers until I got the car. The red plaid seats look about as new as they can for the age. The car is a Champagne Edition so it comes complete with Air Conditioning, though I have not checked it out. There are upgraded shocks and springs on this car, Koni (from what I can see). Runs at original ride height, not lowered or altered. I have a huge stack of receipts for the 35+ years of this cars life. The original owner owned a VW car repair shop and this car always got the royal treatment by the looks of the papers. I even have the original title and bank note from the purchase in 77. Odometer is broken but shows around 125K. Located near 06902. Motivated seller.

The pics are intended to show the condition of the vehicle. The engine runs well and sounds right. There is no oil or antifreeze leaking from this car. The interior smells dry and clean. Overall the interior can use a minor cosmetic cleaning. The exterior is nice the way it is or would make an excellent restoration. Fuel filler new has been replaced with good used piece. Windshield is crack free. 

Please contact me with questions or for link to more pictures. 

Will ship at buyers expense.

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?

Fri, 16 May 2014

The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
