Relisted- last deal the guy had no money!

Regretfully selling my MK2 8V Jetta. I am the second registered owner and the Car has not been registered since 2009. It's been sitting and it's time to move on to a good home. Runs well, lots of new parts over the last few years. A/C blows ice cold, it was converted to R134A. In 2009 both fuel pumps and fuel filter were replaced along with complete exhaust system. In spring of 2011 a new heater core was installed as well as new blower motor resistor. In 2012 brembo front rotors and new frt brake pads were installed. July 2011 it got a repaint. It's been driven less than 280 miles since all work was done. Car is not a perfect it's 22 years old. Currently only needs a battery, a new speedo cable and some minor TLC if you want, and perhaps replace the windshield as it has a rock chip/crack. The body on this car is mint, cleanest ones around and it runs well, interior is clean and in great shape. A flaw with interior is that the dash has started to crack. You can make this a daily driver, but you don't find many like this anymore, at least not this clean, so I would love to see a true enthusiast take this car home. This was the last year of the MK2 body and really is the Perfect car for an MK 2 enthusiast. Maybe convert to a 16v or a nice VR6 sleeper.

Disclaimer, there is no warranty expressed or implied. Vehicle is being sold as-is where is. Vehicle is 22 years old, expect normal wear and tear, minor dings and scratches, and it is up to you to decided its road worthiness. I have taken this on a 300 mile round trip to NY and NJ with no issues prior to 2012.

Payment: a deposit of $500.00 is expect at close of auction, this is non refundable, so if you can't afford this car, don't bid! Final payment expected in cash at pickup, no more than 10 days after the end of the auction. A postal money order will also be accepted, and vehicle will be allowed for pickup only after the money order is cashed.

Shipping or pickup: winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements and fees. I will assist with any scheduling and make certain I am available for pickup.

Update: car is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel auction early. Car is in above average condition. NADA lists this car at $3,575 average, $5,150 for high retail. I feel this car is right in the middle but willing to let it go for less than that.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Giorgetto Giugiaro sells shares in legendary styling house to Audi

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Giorgetto Giugiaro undoubtedly stands among the great automotive designers of the 20th century, having penned the original Volkswagen Golf and Delorean DMC-12, among countless others. However, the great stylist is now longer an employee or even an owner of the company that bears his name. According to Automotive News, Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, sold their remaining 9.9 percent of Italdesign Giugiaro to Audi on Sunday, June 28, and the two resigned from the business the following day. The news about this just came out, though. The exact reason that the two men left the company hasn't been made entirely clear. According to Automotive News, a statement said that Giorgetto Giugiaro went "to dedicate more time to his personal interests." Italdesign Giugiaro remains open and intends to keep growing, though, the same announcement asserts. After stints at Bertone and Ghia, Giugiaro founded Italdesign in 1968. He created some masterpieces there, including '70s wedges like Maserati Merak, Lotus Esprit, and much more. The 2000s weren't so kind and 90.1 percent of the company was sold to Volkswagen Group in 2010. Former Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger took over styling duties there in late 2013, but he only lasted for about a year, leaving in late 2014. Since the sale, Italdesign has continued to work, including with the Gea concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and the very mean-looking Parcour in 2013. Giugiaro's designs are still highly prized, as well. On September 5, Bonhams is auctioning the Maserati Boomerang concept by him and expects to get around $4 million for it. The gallery above offers a few more examples of his and Italdesign's concepts for VW Group over the years.
