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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included – sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
