You will get the car but not the contents, except that you will get door cards and back seat/storage cover, fragments of driver's window, six quarts of synthetic blend diesel engine oil and a new oil filter in the box.  If you wish, you will get a few kind words.

Transporting this car from where it is to where you want it to be will be your responsibility.   I will help a little with phone calls and things like that.  Whomever you are, you will get $150 USD, CASH BACK.  Deals like these are hard to equal and impossible to beat.  This opportunity is remarkable.  On top of that, I will entertain, but not necessarily accept, your best offer.

Tell your friends. 

T-boned in driver's door and back quarter; left rear wheel disabled.  Around 12,000 miles on first-class engine rebuild that cost over $3M; has attained 48 mpg on road. Would cruise easily at 75-80 mph, but it wouldn't get 48 mpg doing that. Low to middle 40's in mixed driving.  Does not mark its territory with oil drops.  Has block heater, which I did not use this winter.  Starts easily in 20 degree weather on glow plugs.  

Parts Place in Michigan will sell you a long block without accessories for a bundle, they also sell heads.   This engine has one of their heads, and I can tell you they are good.  Majorly good. Parts Place says most shops screw up VW heads, and I have to agree.  The first shop (a productions head rebuilder) screwed up my head; it blew a gasket.  VW Diesel head gaskets are not cheap.   Heads either.

I have had this car for about ten years.  Spent a ton of money repairing/replacing loads of parts in last three yr. Details on request. Spent a young fortune making it shift right and always find the right gear.   Replaced main shift rod, and those are not easy to get (NLA from Volkswagen), but it makes the car go into reverse when you want it to.   Windshield wiper motor stripped out drive gear; it turns but it doesn't wipe.  Junk radio.  Heater seems weak, but it does work at least some.

Nearly new tires; tire on disabled wheel is holding air.  All glass good except driver's window, which is in one million pieces.   You get the pieces.   No important rust damage.   I even replaced the battery tray $$$.

Car is nearly perfect mechanical donor. Has Optima battery. New radiator with the overhaul.   Old one started leaking when rebuilt engine fired first time. Curses.  

I hate to see it just go to crusher with no parts, particularly the engine, saved.  I have tried to find a sound derelict unibody with no luck.  Ask any question you wish.   You may inspect all you desire and see/hear it start/run before closing.   If you have been around these cars, you know that odometers fail.  Actual mileage believed to be astronomic; I have replaced odometer three times.   May have Texas Salvage Title by time sold. 

I will refund you $150 against your shipping cost, if it is large, small, or essentially zero.  What a deal.   If you arrive with a trailer, I'll give you $150 back out of what you paid.   If you arrive with a dolly or a flatbed, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid.  If your transport company arrives, I will refund $150 to you out of what you paid.  If you live down the street from me and I just don't know it, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid.  

I did the best I could with the pictures.   I promise you the car is not sideways. What else is there to say, except this is a hell of a good deal for the right person?  One more thing: It's also for sale in other venues, and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time.   So get in here and bid !!

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
