This is sold AS IS but in running, driving condition. ABSOLUTELY NO GUARENTEES but I would trust it. If you are far away, I would recommend having a trailer but that's up to you. I have driven it 100 miles recently and Ive never broke down with it.
I have a nice little bug for sale.. I just bought another truck and need to make some room for it. This is my 4th vehicle and although Id love to keep it, its just not practical. Its a fun little TOY. Ive just installed all new brake shoes, brake hardware kits and wheel cylinders. The tires are in good condition. The motor is a 1600cc. It has its typical oil leaks like any other old aircooled vw motor, but are all ez and cheap fixes. You can have the motor pulled out of this thing in 20 minutes. The body on the car is pretty solid. It does have a rust hole under the gas pedal but not big. The rest of the floor is solid as well. It has an expensive pioneer cd player in it. The ignition is worn as they all do. It has a separate starter button that's located behind the seat. Headliner and door panels are pretty nice. the seats do have some rips but not visible. It also has the typical gassy smell that they all have. If your looking for a PERFECT condition car, then this isn't for you. If you want a fun little toy that is in good shape for the year then here ya go. It will come with a few extra parts and also a car cover. I have close to $4000 in this and am not going to give it away so don't bother lowballing me. Ill just store it for the winter if need be rather than sell it for a ridiculous low price. Let me know if you want to see it. As far as any issues, I would trust it about anywhere. It has a few clunks in the front end but I have the parts to fix them. Just haven't had the time yet. Ive had this up to 80 mph. Although I wouldn't recommend it, It will do it. It drives very nice at 65mph. It is a 4spd manual.
UNDER 60,000 miles but still drive it every day so will go up. I have no way to know if the mileage is correct or if its turned over but my guess is that its accurate.

VW recognizes second union at Chattanooga plant
Wed, Feb 18 2015The ongoing story of organizing workers at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. Following an independent audit, the automaker has now recognized a second union at the plant called the American Council of Employees. The group was founded there last year to offer an alternative to the United Auto Workers. "I'm not anti-union. I understand that a properly run union can benefit people. We will be that union," Sean Moss, president of the ACE, said to Reuters, according to Automotive News. The group claims to represent at least 15 percent of the workers at the plant. Acceptance of the ACE has led to an interesting situation in Chattanooga because VW also recognized the UAW at the factory in December 2014, and the group has claimed to represent at least 45 percent of workers there. According to Automotive News, each union has access to management, but the UAW has more because of its larger contingent of supporters. However, neither organization has a collective bargaining agreement with the automaker. Moss may have a rough time increasing support among employees at the factory. According to Automotive News, many anti-UAW workers there are completely against unions in general. Getting these folks to join his group isn't an easy task. The UAW has been working to fully represent the VW factory for years. However, the group lost a vote to do so in 2014. It eventually created a union local there to try to build support. All of the effort comes ahead of a $900 million plant expansion to add about 2,000 jobs and build a new crossover in Tennessee.

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
