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.

At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery

Tue, Apr 1 2014

When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.
