SINCE I BOUGHT THIS OFF EBAY 3 YEARS AGO, I HAVE HAD ONE NEW CV JOINT. PUT ON, NEW BRAKES, NEW CLUTCH, MUCH MOTOR MOUNT AND MISCELLANEOUS WORK. HAVE MOST OF THE RECEIPTS. GOOD RUBBER. DROVE IT DAILY UNTIL THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BECAME LOOSE, IT WILL START NOW WITH A LOT OF CRANKING, AND A VERY STRONG BATTERY. ONCE STARTED IT RUNS FINE EVEN WITH THE LOOSE MANIFOLD. BY A VW SHOP, I WAS TOLD 2 OF THE BOLTS WERE SHEARED OFF WHERE THE MANIFOLD ATTACHES TO THE HEAD, THEY SAID THEY , THE 2 BOLTS, WOULD HAVE TO BE MACHINED OUT AND RETAPPED, THE INTAKE REATTACHED AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THEIR COST ESTIMATE WAS 1400 TO 2100 DOLLARS TO FIX. I AM 6 FOOT WITH ARTHRITIC KNEES AND HIP, IT HAS BECAME DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET INTO THIS VEHICLE. TIME TO SELL. GETS 48 MPG. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO THE WORK AND HAVE THE ABILITY, YOU COULD SAVE MOST OF THE COST TO FIX AND GET RUNNING PROPERLY AGAIN. THERE ARE SMALL ROCK DENTS, CHIPS OVER MOST OF THE BODY, CANOPY GOOD BUT THE SMALL WINDOW OVER THE CAB IS BROKEN. THE ODOMETER DOES NOT WORK, DOES HAVE AN GAUGE FOR HOURS. PROBABLY ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON THIS ENGINE, A CRATE NEW ENGINE, NOT A REBUILD, RUNS AND STARTS CLEAN WHEN RIGHT. HAS NEAR NEW OREGON LICENSE TAGS EBAY REQUIRES AA ODOMETER READING, I PUT IN 200,001 WHICH COULD BE MANY MILES OFF, WRONG.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
