Condition: UsedA 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.Seller Notes:"It runs like a champ and can hit highway speeds and pass Texas state inspection. The engine had a complete rebuild about four years ago and has had very little driving since.It was in an accident in the late 80s, resulting in some body damage that is still visible. Some of the doors don't seal completely.Additionally, my dad decided to re-paint it white at some point. Some of the paint is starting to chip and there is some rust on the back door.There are also some tears in the upholstery on the inside (visible in the pictures).Only other bits worth mentioning is the radio doesn't work and I installed a separate button for the horn (though I'm pretty sure I know where the electrical break is in the steering column button).Aside from that, nothing to mention. It's a completely working, road-ready vehicle."

I've driven this car since high school, and figured since I'm moving to another state it's time to pass it along to someone else.

This car is 100% driveable and passes Texas state inspection.

Naturally, as you'd expect of an over 30-year-old car, there are a few issues worth noting:

It was in an accident in the late 80s, resulting in some body damage that is still visible. Some of the doors don't seal completely
Additionally, my dad decided to re-paint it white at some point. Some of the paint is starting to chip and there is some rust on the back door.
There are also some tears in the upholstery on the inside (visible in the pictures).
The radio doesn't work
I installed a separate button on the dashboard for the horn (though I'm pretty sure I know where the electrical break is in the steering column button).

One last note -- the odometer doesn't have a 100,000s digit, so it's possible the mileage is actually 173,214. It had about 30,000 miles on it when I inherited it, and I'm not sure if it rolled over in the decade or so before I was alive. The engine was completely rebuilt about four years ago though, so the mileage on it is actually pretty low.

Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for looking!

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
