Let's get to it.Bought the car from my room mate in 99 in TX.It is a TX car originally.$13,370 sticker..basic info 124hp 2.0L fuel injection,FWD,sport transmission,Strut front,torsion rear,four disc brakes,Dual euro headlights,front and rear spoilers,Recaro seats,% speed manual,tornado red paint,Ac..He babied and adored it and all daily maintenance was up to par.I continued with this..Since I owned it I have had the top end done.I used a local garage and they did all this work but it was a bit to complicated for them,hands up in the air I took to an official VW shop and got it finished.Next was the transmission.My clutch disconnected and I was trying to dry shift it to get home.Should have stayed in first but I thought a second gear may get me home quicker.Well it didn't.New transmission from GEX and installed later and we were off and running.Had Brakes done,Put new TT exhaust on,fresh tires and shocks from Big O who was my neighbor who tuned the suspension proper.My work takes me in and out of state so this car has been stored most of my ownership.Inside mind you.Come back after a few years and needed a new fuel pump,Ran around stored again,Back into it drove it to colorado and on the way home she just died on me.Seemed the fuel system was the problem.Stored again and returned two years ago..take to mechanic with fuel system,injectors needing cleaning?and a Dry bearing sound.He takes the easy work of replacing the AC unit..but does not get it running!Cleans injectors etc..bolts all this back on to a compression ratio of #1=120 #2=120 #3=80 #4=120 or 100..I was on the understanding that we were to rebuild the engine he was on the understanding to screw me and run.Car was running when parked.And I have let it be till today.Again stored inside..I just don't have the good mechanics in this area to deal with this car.Nor the time and to many other projects..all of which I can work on due to my local garage climate..need my garage space so it's up for grabs to the right person.
The Good:No major accident ever,Thule racks minus the bike attachments in photo,Yokohama Tires have plenty of tread(New really),shocks suspension tuned with new tires,Low miles transmission,TT exhaust,Alpine pull out deck,Brakes have low miles,sunroof works fine,Recaro seats,Momo gear knob,Prime wheels,Tinted windows. The Bad:Passenger lock does not work,Prime wheels need steel wool or elbow grease compounds to get styled,missing rear right wheel prime cap,rear seats burnt along with my entire house,Rear window tint is falling off,Headliner falling down(how unusual for a vw)dash crack on top(normal)console has been cut for a radio that is no longer there,leather on steering wheel is worn on top,burn holes in seats(one or two each)still lovely sitting in Recaros,Plastics on car need to be played with but no dramas they are not flying off while driving,Rear hatch will not stay up on its own-needs viagra in the form of two new hydraulic hatch poles..has paint pealing off here,scratch here,dent there..but general the body is solid,hood paint seems to want to be a lighter red then the rest of the car.. The Ugly:ENGINE NEEDS REBUILD-This car is not running,no battery and has no warranty. The round out..Good cult classic,solid shell with all working components accept the engine.Looking for someone who knows or lives in an area that can get the work done.I would not be selling this if I had access to a proper mechanic.And I just don't have the time anymore,nor the room for it to do it another day.Otherwise she is worth the fix. Sold as is where is.I have a short window to sell this and get it out of here.Once the auction is done I need it gone,or we arrange to pick it up at another place at buyers expense.Be ready to roll!!Any questions ask them.I have explained this the best I can.It is obvious what it is and described accordingly.Few receipts pryer to me buying are about and all/most receipts when I have owned it are here.I am starting this listing at what I have paid the last mechanic who did the work.So if this was two years back..I would be giving this car away on the first bid.It's a fast fun car that should not be sitting any longer in my opinion.Needs to be out terrorizing the streets again. |

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
VW readying CC Shooting Brake?
Mon, 11 Feb 2013This was bound to happen. Volkswagen's relentless drive for big volume has the brand mining seemingly every niche it can find for additional sales worldwide. And with its CLS Shooting Brake, fellow countryman Mercedes-Benz has already shown that a wagon based off of a "four-door coupe" can look dead sexy and command extra dollars. So it follows that the Volkswagen CC (whose existence is all but directly attributable to the success of the original CLS sedan) will also get a load-lugging variant. That's according to the UK's Autocar, which notes that the five-door will come in the CC's next generation.
According to the report, the next CC will be available in front and all-wheel drive variants with the usual assortment of gas and diesel four-cylinders found in the Wolfsburg empire, with the possibility of a gas plug-in hybrid model, too. The rakish estate will ride atop VW's MQB architecture, a shorter variant of which is also found underneath the new Golf. The scalable chassis is set to spread like kudzu throughout the company's lineup, but the CC probably won't happen until after the launch of the next European-market Passat in 2015.
Will we get it in North America? Hard to say. Volkswagen sells the standard CC saloon here, but not in particularly large numbers, and when the company moved to a North American-specific Passat, it dumped the wagon variant. The traditional VW estate apparently continues to pick up sales momentum abroad, however, making the CC Shooting Brake a seemingly natural fit for buyers who still want the utility of a two-box form but can afford to sacrifice a bit of cargo room in the name of style.
