1996 Vw Cabrio Convertable, Manual, New Soft Top, Great Gas Mileage And Fun on 2040-cars
Martins Ferry, Ohio, United States
This is a southern car and the body is in really good shape, pictures show all bad points. I bought it for my daughter as a surprise well that was a mistake on my part...she was thrilled with it until she found out it was a standard. I thought this would be my way to get her to drive a stick...anyway...I have had it for a month now and I love driving it but I need to get her a different car. With that being said... study the pictures and ask any questions you wish because since I dont know much about cars in general I am selling this as is. I know it runs really well...the man I bought it from replaced the engine and it has 67,000 miles on it and it feels like that is true and the odometer reads 231,+++ (dont let the miles on the body full you it truly runs solid it drives very well and feels very safe)...the top and top frame are brand new and in excellent shape. The pictures of interior that are shown as missing are in the car but not on. They will come with the car. The doors are different color because the were replaced, The only negative things about the car that I have noticed are the heater is not effective ( I was told thermostat so i bought one but it isnt installed) The check engine light is on and has been since the motor was changed is what i was told...like I said it runs great and lastly when I back up I hear a rubbing noise (not sure why but it moves fine when in reverse) ... The good...runs great, goes straight and smooth even at highway speeds, no vibration and steering wheel is straight, tires are good, brakes are good, has nice leather interior, pioneer stereo with cd player... I am new to ebay and that is why I dont have rating but if you send me a message I will happily send you my phone number so you can confirm I am a real person and this is a real ad...I understand some bad things happen on here and I will do all I can to ensure you that I am real. Thank you for looking.

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
