Outstanding VW Westy, with 52053 original miles, runs and drives great.  Previous owner had $2300 worth of work done to it about 6500 miles ago to include upper ball joints, 4 CV boots, removed and resealed transmission, front outer tie rods, rear main seal, and 4 new tires (I have the receipt for all that).  This was everything it needed to be perfect, she then passed away a couple years later and it sat for a few years. When I got it the slave cylinder was stuck so I replaced it and bleed the system, brakes could use a bit more bleeding as pedal travel is a little low but it stops good.  I also adjusted the valves and changed the oil and filter, it runs great with no leaks!  Has an aftermarket cd player with nice aftermarket speakers throughout.  Everything works, wipers, lights, turn signals, heat, speedometer, odometer, e-brake, ect).  This is the first westy I've seen with what seems like factory A/C controls (see pic), the controls turn on the unit above the back seats, when you turn the inner knob to AC you can hear a relay click but it doesn't blow cold, I think it needs a compressor because I can't find one (unless it's internal of the unit like a home window unit, but it's not on the engine?), anyway, all the other components for it are there behind the front grill (condenser, evaporator, lines that lead to the unit).  Body is very good and seems to have been painted a darker green at some point, when you open the door you can see the two-toned look which I think looks pretty cool (see pic), really no rust to speak of, not even in the battery compartment, rain gutters (see pic), or wheel wells (see pic).  I did take a pic of the one spot I've found where some paint chipped away and there is surface rust (see pic).  Manual tranny shifts great and smoothly into each gear.  The tent has a tear that has tape on it, when I took these pics today it was raining and no rain got in, but I would glue a canvas patch on it if I was keeping it.  Windows, doors, and top open and close smoothly, it looks like the inner sliding door handle was rubbing the body when it would slide open at one point in time (see pic) but it has clearance now. A couple of the plastic corner bumpers were loose so I took them off and they are in the vehicle.  I don't know how to use the appliances but like everything else I'm sure they work, feel free to ask me anything and I'll go check it out, I can send specific pics if you want or I will call you if you send me your number.  This westy drives great but I have not driven it far and since it sat for a while I would recommend shipping it, and driving it locally for a few days before it made a road trip. The reserve is real low, this will sell

**NOTE** I see that the ebay vehicle report is flagging the title, I assure you I have a clean clear title in my name, in my hands right now.  This flag is odd because as you click on it, it eventually says that there may be a problem with the odometer, but in the odometer section it says it's good, and you can see in the report that the mileage has always been increasing.  Anyways rest assure you can ignore this flag, the odometer checks good and the title is clean.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group

Mon, Jul 5 2021

ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
