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.

MotorWeek looks back at the 1986.5 VW Scirocco 16V
Wed, Jan 21 2015It's back to the past with MotorWeek for a video dive into the 1986.5 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V, the coupe that carried the pennant for VW's performance aspirations for 15 years, from 1974 to 1989. This one, the last generation, got the hottest of all by adding a head with four valves per cylinder. The 1.8-liter DOHC engine cranked out "an amazing" 123 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, and made this model the fastest VW to ever be sold in America; it went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, faster than a Porsche 944. To compare vintage apples to modern ones, the New Scirocco with a 123-hp 1.4-liter TSI engine and a manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds. We like MotorWeek's Retro Review series not only for the cars, but for how they also remind us of what we used to find important in cars. The Scirocco here gets upvoted for its throttle response and handling, downvoted for an oddly placed oil pressure gauge and lack of battery voltage meter. We can't remember the last time a voltage meter was mentioned in a review, either its presence or lack. Check out the video above for what the definition of "US hot hatch" used to be.
Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
VW TDI ads star four 'salty' ladies and a stinky dog named Tuna
Sun, Mar 22 2015The Kim Kardashian sex tape just keeps on giving: it brought the Three Golden Sisters to our attention, and now Volkswagen has used their comedic, Bronx grandmother schtick to promote its TDI engines. The ads are another round in the fight against the malicious perceptions of diesel – like how they're slow and loud (they aren't), that it's hard to find a station to refill (it isn't), and that they stink (they don't). Tanner Foust makes an appearance in one spot to dispel the notion of sluggishness, and Tuna the Dastardly Dog proves that she (or he?) can outstink a diesel any day. You'll find Tuna in the ad above, the other three ads are below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
