We bought this car from a towing company for our daughter to go to college with. It had a bad motor and a clear title. The towing company told us a bit about the history of the car. It was purchased used by a single mom. Shortly after she bought it, the top end of the motor seized because of a lack of oil and the timing chain broke. The cause was the oil plug was stripped out and was leaking oil. The lady stopped paying on the loan and the bank repossessed it. The towing company was hired by the bank to pick it up and bring it to their impound yard where the bank eventually came out and deemed the car not worth repairing and gave it to the towing company for payment. The bank wrote on the title "scrap". When we went to change the "clean" title to our name, the state changed it to a salvage title because of the word "scrap" being written on it. They said that is the only thing they can do. So, this car was branded because of a single word being written on the title. It was NOT accident damaged. We really didn't care to much because we figured by the time our daughter got finished with it, it would probably be ready for the bone yard anyway. So the work began. The car had 122xxx miles on it when we bought it and we started out with finding another motor for it. The donor motor had 92,098 miles on it and came from a car that was in a rear end accident. The new motor was completely gone over by a certified mechanic and a few recommended things were replace. Spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator was rebuilt, new accessory belt and tensioner, oil filter, air filter, oil, and water pump. We were going to put in a new clutch while the motor was out but our mechanic said the clutch looked new and was recently replace. No need to put another new one in. The new motor was put in. Next the car got all new wheel bearings all the way around. New brake discs front and back. Ceramic brake pads. New springs front and back, new shocks in the rear, new struts in the front. Brand new high end Good Year tires all the way around. Remind you that this car was for our daughter and all the parts replaced on this car were of high end and not the cheap stuff. Two new parking brake cables, new muffler, new front end ball joints, new steering outer ball joints, new sway bar bushings, new battery, new cabin filter and new wiper blades and a fresh four wheel alignment. Thousands of dollars later and we finally got the car on the road. Now comes the bad part. Our daughter, who knew it was a standard transmission and was willing to learn how to drive it, hated it. I had her out in the car several times and a standard transmission was simply not for her. College was starting and she needed a car ASAP so we went and bought her another Jetta with an automatic trans and off she went. We've had this car for almost two years now and we put only about 2k miles on it. It needs to go and we are going to take a big loss. I'm starting the bidding at $2500 with no reserve. More about the car. It has some minor dents and scratches in it. The A/C system works great but a seal in the A/C pump is leaking and the freon leaks out over time. Mechanic said to change the pump and all will be fine. The second problem we are having is the check engine light. Our mechanic says the code is emissions and diagnosing it farther, it comes down to a small in line vacuum pump not vacuuming down the fuel tank. It"s working intermittently and needs to be replaced. One of the headlight adjusters is not working properly. These things were going to be fixed but when we decided to buy another car for our daughter, all work stopped on this one as we knew we were going to get shafted on it. The car is being auctioned off just the way it sits. We are not going to put another dime into it. Our guess is that we have a little over $5k into it. PLease feel free to ask questions and come test drive it. More pictures will be posted shortly. Actually, we are kind of glad our daughter didn't take this car. With the six cylinder engine in it, this thing is a fast little car. Thanks for looking. The two pictures with the hood open is minutes after the roll back dropped the car off at our house after we purchased it. Just uploaded several new pictures taken of the car minutes ago. It is loaded with climate control, sun roof, P/S, P/W. P/locks, rain sensing windshield wipers, 5 speed, cruise, tilt wheel, leather interior, heated seats, heated and power mirrors. rear trunk spoiler, remote entry, and more. I just can't think of all of them. Car is located in zip 19510.

Volkswagen rolls out all-new Polo R WRC

Sat, Jan 17 2015

Volkswagen may have ruled out producing a road-going Polo more potent than the new GTI, but on the rally stage, the Polo R WRC has proven absolutely dominant. Introduced to the World Rally Championship in 2013, the Polo R won ten out of the baker's dozen rallies in its debut season, and all but one last year to win both titles two years running. That's quite an act to follow, and the task falls to the machine you see here. The new second-generation Polo R WRC was just revealed at Autostadt in Wolfsburg. The rally machine has been substantially reworked for 2015, with a new livery, new bodywork and new oily bits. In fact, Volkswagen says it has revised three quarters of the components, and while it has not yet detailed the "many new ideas [implemented] under the bonnet," it has identified the hydraulic gearbox as "the biggest innovation." Further details are still to come, but this is our first look at the new machine with which Sebastien Ogier, Jari-Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen – who finished last year's championship in first, second and third, respectively Â– will tackle this year's championship, starting with the Rally Monte Carlo on January 22-25. FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) New technology, new design: presenting the second generation Polo R WRC - World premiere of the 318-hp Polo R WRC in Wolfsburg - Member of the Board, Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, launches title defence - WRC kicks off with the iconic Rally Monte Carlo from 22Â–25 January Wolfsburg (15 January 2015). In top form, both technically and visually: Volkswagen presented the second generation of the Polo R WRC in Autostadt, Wolfsburg. The works team from Wolfsburg has its sights set firmly on another successful defence of its titles in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) with a new car and a new look. Volkswagen completed a clean sweep of all the World Championship titles when the Polo R WRC made its debut in 2013, before repeating this impressive feat last season. Continuity is the key to the driving line-up for 2015: double world champions Sebastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) and team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Floene (N/N) will roll down the starting ramp and head onto the first special stage of the year for Volkswagen at the legendary Rally Monte Carlo on 22 January. "The new Polo R WRC has undergone intense further development, both on the inside and the outside," said Dr.
