You are biding to purchase a 1996 Volkswagen Golf GL 5 door hatchback that has been driven on average less than 2,200 miles per year,far less than 15,000 the industry average.These miles are confirmed thru Car Fax,Auto Check,the prior owner and without question the very nice condition of the vehicle.These are the kind of miles you would normally find on very pricey 2011 and 2012 models but hardly ever on a 1996.

In these difficult economic times and with the price of fuel steadily climbing we feel the fairest way to sell this vehicle is to let you the buyer set the price,yes you.After all isn't that the best way to buy,you price it?

We see no corrosion on the doors,fenders,pannels or undercarriage.All lenses,trim and moldings are clean and straight.The original factory finish (suede silver metallic) still has that new car luster (obviously this vehicle has spent much of it's time garaged).The windshield is clear and clean showing no stone bruises,cracks or wiper mar.There are a very fresh looking sel of all season steel-belted radials riding on the original factory rims with all wheel covers present and the unused spare and all jacking hardware stowed properly.The interior is as neat and tidy as one would ever expect to find on any vehicle of this vintage.The dash shows no sun fade or degradation,the original headliner is clean and tight with no evidence of any water leakage from the sunroof.The upholstery and carpeting show no signs of abuse or neglect with very little wear,without question very well looked after.

                                **************************************

After acquiring this vehicle we took it directly to our certified tech who has been with us over 25 years.Atfer a 1 hour road test at speeds to 65 mph and some routine service checks he had nothing but compliments saying ''that is a sweatheart''.The well proven 2.0l EFI four cylinder engine fires to life with the click of the key.We see no oil leaks or smoke around the block or from the exhaust.On the drive the acceleration is strong,the front end is tight and pleasing with no errant axle noises (as is sometimes the case with front wheel drive vehicles),the automatic transmission shifts on point thru the gears and the brakes stop the vehicle confidently with no pull or shudder.The air conditioner works quietly producing excellent cooling.There has recently been a very nice am-fm /cd player tastefully and professionally installed.We see no issues with the heat,defrost,power door locks,power sunroof or safety equipment.In our op[inion this little ''gas mizer'' has been very well maintained and is sure to serve it's next lucky owner with many miles and many years of trouble free service.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.

This month's deals on wheels: 3 cars with incentives, rebates

Fri, Apr 7 2017

On television, they come at you rapid-fire: truck deals, car deals, SUV deals. You don't have time to read the fine print, and many sound too good to be true. What follows are three deals that are both good and true. And check out our entire list of incentives and rebates. VOLKSWAGEN JETTA: With Dieselgate winding down and VW's all-new three-row SUV – the Atlas – winding up, Volkswagen is selling sedans with incentives. The Jetta remains VW's bestseller in the US. If you're looking for an immodest deal on modest transportation, you can do worse than a lease on the 2017 Jetta S. THE DETAILS: Purchase at 0.9% APR (no down payment required, available on new 2017 Jetta models financed by Volkswagen Credit, participating dealers only). At that rate, you could save $1,600 over the life of a loan. Offer ends May 1, but given the tepid market interest in sedans, incentives will probably continue through the balance of the model year. NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB: While some buyers will wait for Nissan's recently announced Titan King Cab, and commercial users will grab the regular cab and 8-foot bed, we'll recommend a lightly optioned 4X4 crew cab with standard V8 power, California-penned sheetmetal and a made-in-America footprint. Nissan's full-size pickup is finally a credible competitor in the pickup segment. THE DETAILS: With $3,500 cash back, on top of whatever deal you negotiate, Nissan is effectively reducing the window sticker of a Titan S crew cab by almost 10 percent. MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER: Some cars show up on buyers' radar, some don't. Some aren't anywhere near the radar room. Mitsubishi's Outlander is one of those. But that doesn't diminish its basic attractiveness, especially for young families looking for an affordable three-row SUV with responsive power and competitive features. Add one of the industry's longest warranties and a compelling deal, and you suddenly have reason to track down a Mitsubishi dealer. THE DETAILS: It couldn't be simpler – negotiate your best deal on a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander, and then receive a $2,000 rebate; on a remaining 2016, it's $3,000. We'd select a fully-equipped GT 3.0S – AWC, which hooks Mitsubishi's V6 to a conventional automatic (vs. a CVT on lower-priced models) and all-wheel drive. That's a window sticker of about $34,000, and you can count on an aggressive posture by the dealer to get your business. Mitsubishi Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying Buying Guide Truck SUV Sedan

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
