Original Listing information follows without edits:

I bought this car in early April as a project from a local repair shop. Though the top was new, the paint was an issue. I also noticed a duct tape repair on the driver's door card. The oversized 16"x7.5" wheels had bald tires on them so they had to be changed out. After quite a bit of work, this car is ready to sell! So here is what I have done:

I had the transmission replaced with rebuilt unit by Greenville Transmission Clinic. The clutch was replaced while the transmission was out. The passenger side axle was also replaced at the same time. I then took the car to Maaco for a fresh coat of paint. After I got the car home, I had received the VW OEM wheels that I had bought here on eBay and put them on the car with two new tires. I also put the replacement driver's side door card (from a 2001 Cabrio) on to be rid of the duct tape repair. I then noticed wheel bearing noise so I first replaced the left-rear wheel bearing (I checked the rear brake shoes which were good) which reduced the noise some, but not completely. Next, I replaced the front right wheel bearing which required replacing the hub since the old wheel bearing came apart and the inner race was seized and would not come off the hub. While I had the front wheels off for this, I noticed that the front brake pads needed replacement which came next, along with an oil change with Castrol GTX and a new Fram oil filter. Finally, I replaced the left rear tail light lens with a spare I had to finish the project off! 

There is a CD stereo system installed but does not power-up for some reason. The cruise control is present but doesn't lock in for some reason. But the car has a nice smooth ride and offers a very comfortable ride. Though I hold a clear title to the car, I have not bought a tag to take the car on anything other than local secondary roads to road test for any distance. The engine has plenty of power so there will be no disappointment there. The Greenville Transmission, Maaco, and other part receipts will be provided to the new owner for the warranty that goes with these. Otherwise, no other warranty is offered either expressed or implied.

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise

Thu, Jan 10 2019

Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.
