A rare find.. This 1987 VW Cabriolet is super clean and rust free. Motor is in great shape/does not use or leak oil. Purchased new in Kentucky for $15995.00. I have owned it about 5 years and driven it about 10,000 miles. I have installed a new top and liner, front struts, rear shocks and springs, wheel alignment, new front tires, rack and pinion boots, speedometer cable and gear drive, emergency brake cables, tie rod end, ball joint, V belts and hoses, driver's side CV joint, boot and drive shaft, motor and transmission mounts, plugs, points, plug and coil wires, rebuilt alternator, transmission rebuilt, headlight switch, seat leg sliders kit, water pump and thermostat, antifreeze, coolant temp sensor, outer rear wheel bearings, control arm bushings (purchased but not yet installed), and other parts. Email me for a complete new parts list. I am selling this car because my wife has chiropractic neck issues and longer trips I had hoped we could take in the VW has not been possible as she needs our Buick LaSabre. This car is not driven in Michigan in the winter months. We tow dolly it to FL each winter. I have this car for sale locally for $4950.00 and reserve the right to sell it before this auction ends. I paid $2500.00 for the VW and have spent $3250.00 on putting it up in top mechanical shape. I have lost track of the hours spent installing the new parts. If you have other questions email me and I will do my best to answer all your questions. This car hugs the road and is lots of fun to drive. Being 27 years old it is an antique which increases in value. If you purchase this car and are not satisfied with the car when you come to pick it up, I will refund your money, less my eBay charges.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
