This is a vehicle I purchased several months ago with the intention of getting it running, registering it, and driving. Things just didn't work out and now health problems make it impossible (I'm 78). It has a gasoline engine completely installed, but never started. It looks to be all there including the computer. Would be a good candidate for diesel engine completion, or just run it as it is. The body has NO rust thru anywhere and the paint is very good for a vehicle of this age. There is no indication of any wrecks or major damage (only dings in the paint.) Look at the pictures. The title has been lost, so it will be sold with a bill of sale only. The brakes and clutch seem to work as they should, the glass is all good, and the windows roll up and down. The tires look somewhat rotten but they still hold air. The bed is good (no rust thru) and it has a nice camper shell. The VIN number shown is incorrect. Ebay requires a 17 digit VIN and this truck only has 16 digits, so they would enter it. I substituted another 17 digit number to satisfy EBAY. The correct VIN number is 1v1kg0172cv032362 if that is of any interest to you. Sorry. I have put a very low reserve price on it and could hold it here for a short period of time. I will require a deposit of $250 within 24 hours of auction ending, with the remainder due when its picked up. I will try to answer any questions you may have (I've had a couple of VW diesels in the past, and they get fantastic mileage. I do have it for sale locally, and reserve the right to end the auction if it does sell locally. Oh, by the way, it's a 4 speed. |

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
