This vehicle has a salvage title. 

We bought it from a friend in December 2013 who purchased it at an insurance auction with the intent to fix it and give it to my daughter. We knew nothing about a VR6 and purchased the vehicle under the presumption that is was a good starter vehicle - German maker, small, manual transmission (no texting). We did not realize the car is a quasi sports car and probably not suitable for a first driver. 

Moreover the vehicle seems to have been up-kept well by the previous owner and I suspect they had seat covers because the leather was almost new looking. VW history showed dealership service and maintenance. 

The repairs related to the insurance claim were relegated to the front right side and somewhat elementary - husband works for a Toyota Dealership - and included:

 - Radiator
 - Right Axle
 - Control Arm
 - Aux Radiator
 - Core Support
 - Control arm

...this was the extent of the repairs necessary and relevant to the insurance claim. I understand that the repairs were within 65% of the value of the vehicle and this constituted a total loss claim. We were able to do the work for a fraction of the cost because of my husbands job.

Other repairs made are as follows.

 - R & R Dash and rebuild HVAC box. (new blend doors, heater core and AC condenser)
 - New center console trim. (Old parts were cracked and sticky from the deteriorating soft-touch finish
 - Sublet the lower dash parts to remove the tar-like deteriorating soft-touch finish and re-finish
 - New headliner
 - New Plugs, Wires and Coil
 - New Coolant hoses..

There are some other repairs were were going to make but didn't

 - Windshield is cracked. $185
 - Rearview mirror auto-dim is foggy and needs to be repaired $99.00
 - Cooling Hose (Water pipe to Aux Rad Return), [1J0121051L] - This part was not in stock when I made the original repairs.
 - Tires. They have good tread, but are different makes.
 - Spare tire is original and never used so it ought to be replaced.
 - Two center caps. I bought 4 new ones but they were for a Passat and didn't fit.
 - Bumper cover needs to be replaced or repaired.

The rims have some scuffs. We were quoted $200 to repaint them but I did not find them to be that significant.

Shipping: I have the ability to ship this vehicle within 500 miles or so with minimal expense. If you are in Maryland or DC I may be able to ship for free.

That is about it - any questions please feel free to ask.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
