First and foremost, I love this car and it has been so much fun building and driving. The one and only reason this car is for sale is because my wife and I are expecting our first child. Soon I will not have much time to enjoy this car and I would feel better with money in the bank than in my garage. This is a one off custom built VW Rat Rod. It gets almost too much attention on the road! The car was built mostly by me and its ready to take anywhere. The car truly needs no mechanical work, everything has already been done. The car is has a clean Texas title and in is my name. The tags are also current and registered to me. I'm looking to just recoup most of the money I have in the car. I knew going into it that this was a labor of love, so I don't expect to get it all back. Here is a list of whats been done.

Body: Top chopped and aggressively dropped. Custom two piece window made for the windshield and wire mesh for the rest. Front beam extended 12 inches to give it that mean look.

Motor: Newly rebuilt by Austin Vee Dubs. Its a 1600 dp running single 34 pict and upgraded to alt instead of gen. Has about 500 miles on it and runs strong!

Wheels & Brakes: 4 Brand new tires less than 500 miles painted with white wall tire paint. Brakes work great and fronts are upgraded to disk.

Lights Horn and Wiring all new: Custom LED signals and old school horn. All lights work and wiring harness is new

Mods: Flame thrower kit installed, custom roll back vinyl top, grant short ratio steering wheel, empi short throw bus shifted fitting to real shiner beer tap. To name a few...

Rust: Pans have been patched in placed and the rear passenger quarter still needs work. I have the replacement section but it hasn't been installed. It will come with the car.

This is truly a bad ass car and I love driving it. The car is pretty quick and can cruse on the freeway with ease. The car is however very light so speeds over 55mph get a little shaky depending on the road. This is very common with all custom VW's like dune buggy's and etc. Its not too bad once you get used to it but the car feels much better cursing around 55mph. I will miss this sweet ride dearly but I'm excited to become a father and that's what I'm focusing on now. Please call with any questions you might have about the build. I've priced it very fair for what it is and whats been done to it but i'll listen to best offers. If you want more pictures or videos just ask. Thanks my phone number is 2108578627

Mercedes, Nissan and VW slammed by China's CCTV

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Several automakers in China, including joint ventures with Nissan, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, are in hot water because their dealers are allegedly overcharging customers for repairs. China Central Television, the country's state broadcaster, leveled the claims during its annual Consumer Day expose. CCTV runs these reports each year on March 15 and often takes aim at foreign companies operating within China. This year the focus fell on automakers, according to the Financial Times, and no domestic car companies were targeted. The network also accused dealers of overselling parts, and it took aim at Jaguar Land Rover specifically for problems surrounding transmission repairs, according to Reuters. The yearly stories are often criticized for focusing on outside businesses. "It panders to a certain type of nationalism as it tends to target foreign companies and rarely touches large state groups or monopolies," Qiao Mu, a journalism professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said to the Financial Times. Foreign automakers seem to face tighter scrutiny when doing business in China than their domestic counterparts, in general. The government there investigated several luxury brands, including Audi and BMW, last year for how they supplied spare parts and whether the components were overpriced. Some incurred fines, and Lexus decided to lower its prices. Volkswagen also experienced protests when owners felt the company wasn't handling a recall properly. The CCTV report also comes as many auto dealers in China are feeling a pinch due to high mandated sales targets from automakers. The situation was so dire in early 2015 several brands cut back sales targets and in some cases even paid the sellers to offset poor profits.
