**This vehicle is in need of significant mechanical repair** While this VW does run and drive, it will need significant repair before it can be driven and I would highly reccomend that you have it trailered away from our dealership. Read sections below for more details regarding condition. Vehicle Description: This Turbo Diesel VW will make a great project car for someone looking to save huge money on fuel! This VW has had 3 previous owners and 0 accident history per autocheck. At 241,581 miles, the exterior of this vehicle is in fair condition for this age and miles. The exterior does show signs of rust - especially on the hood, fenders and hatch (see pictures & video). The passenger side mirror housing is cracked and it is missing the rear wiper. The windshield is cracked along the top. The interior is in above average condition for the year and miles -- there is some wear on the plastic covered items on the interior like the door handles and radio buttons but overall the interior is clean. The tires are in very good condition, one of the wheel covers is cracked (see pics). The rear hatch is currently not opening from either the inside or outside. The driver side door lock is unable to be engaged (when you hit the lock button, it moves down a bit but will not go all the way down to be locked). The radio is not currently turning on, but it did work when I first got the car. The Air Conditioning is ICE COLD. Mechanically, this car needs transmission work -- from what I have read and been advised it will need a clutch/flywheel replacement. It is difficult to get into gear at times. At idle, the engine shakes which I have also read is a sign of the flywheel needing to be replaced. The check engine light is also on for turbo overboost so it doesn't have full power at higher RPMs. The engine has a slight tick that I have tried to capture in the video. The airbag light is on. I am not a mechanic, but I have tried to describe the mechanic issues as fully as I possibly can but I am not 100% positive that the diagnoises I have provided are accurate - they are just my educated guesses. You are welcome to come check out the car for yourself, but due to the fragile mechanical state that it is in there will be no test-drives. Check out the pictures & video for more information or feel free to email/call me (Michael) at 734-717-3653 with specific questions.

Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035
Tue, Jun 21 2022BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept still makes us swoon
Fri, Nov 21 2014We know, we know – this hot little guy isn't really new or anything. Volkswagen first rolled out the Golf R 400 concept in Beijing earlier this year, and since its debut, we've heard rumors that the German automaker might-perhaps-maybe-hopefully build the thing. Its showing here in Los Angeles simply marks the first time it's debuting in America, and honestly, we can't get enough. So here it is, again. Hello, Golf R 400 – we love you. And what's not to love? What starts as a normal Golf R gets better with a more aggressive appearance, big wheels, some tasteful neon yellow accents, and a whole mess of power. The original concept packed 395 horsepower from an overblown 2.0-liter turbo-four, though the most recent reports suggest a production version could produce over 400 hp. To keep it all in line, the concept has all-wheel drive. And inside, it's the same functional, comfortable Golf we've always loved. There's nothing left to say, really. We love this car, and you should, too. Check it out in the gallery above.
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
