Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

Recent maintenance: brake rotors and pads, new shocks, front and rear bearings, transmission filter and flush, 2 new catalytic converters, new exhaust pipe system (from catalytic converters back), oxygen sensors, crank position sensors (they wear out around 70K miles), serpentine belt, all exterior and dash instrument lights replaced, new plugs, wires, air filter, new cabin air filter, oil change, battery 1 year old.  Included with the sale is fitted car cover, inexpensive seat covers, and various spare trim pieces for interior and exterior.

Issues:  Convertible top latch is not functioning so top can not currently be put down.  The problem is the small hydraulic cylinder which moves the latch.  The seals in this cylinder need replacing.  I have the headliner removed and have the replacement instructions and kit.  The seal kit includes seals for all hydraulic cylinders on the car plus a syringe and hose to replenish the hydraulic fluid reservoir.  Labor to replace the seals in this one cylinder is about a 2-3 hour job by someone with mechanical skills and tools.  The headliner was professionally recovered and ready to reinstall.  The interior dome light does not come on when a door opens.  It does light when the overhead switch is pressed.  The trunk CD player has been removed.  The radio is fine, but I have a new radio/CD/Bluetooth unit that will fit in exactly the same space.  It also looks nearly identical to the OEM radio.  This will be included but buyer will need to install.  There are a few minor chips and dings that aren't visible unless examined up close.  The front air dam has scratches (see photo) from people rubbing parking space blocks, but easily covered with nearly any black paint.  The glove box has scratches from a previous owner (see photo).  I think they must have carried items in the front seat that rubbed up against it or possibly a child. 

I drive this car nearly every day and have taken it on several long trips without any issues.  This is a great car that I was slowly bringing back to like new condition.  People love to compliment the car and will occasionally want to race you (hint you will probably win, but don't race because it's dangerous!).  I love having this car and it drives like a dream.  When you need to accelerate it is quick and silky smooth with a great sound.  I am selling it because I was recently laid off from my job by a boss that wanted everyone to be as miserable as him.  That's it and otherwise I would keep it.  Now I am selling this car and will soon be selling my other toys so I can travel more lightly to my next career, whatever that might be.

IMPORTANT:  Please ask any and all questions you want.  I am not going to try to sell you this car and I am an honest guy.  I will post all questions and answers.  You are welcome to test drive it.  Buyer must provide $500 deposit using PayPal within 48 hours or car will be put back up for auction.  Payment can only be in the form of cash, PayPal, or cashier check from a verifiable bank.  Buyer mush also provide name, address, and matching phone number before final payment.  Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping of the car.  Car must fully paid for and picked up within 2 weeks of end of auction. Failure to pay or pick up after two weeks will result in refund of deposit and car will be put back up for auction.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."
