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.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
Here’s how 20 popular EVs fared in cold-weather testing in Norway
Sat, Mar 21 2020Electric vehicles are known to suffer diminished performance in cold weather, but some do a better job than others hanging onto their range capacity while cabin heaters and frigid outdoor temperatures sap power from their batteries. Recently, the Norwegian Automobile Federation put the 20 of the best-selling battery-electric vehicles in the country to the test, to see not only how winter weather affected their range but also their charging times. The major findings: On average, electric vehicles lost 18.5% of their official driving range as determined by the European WLTP cycle. Electric vehicles also charge more slowly in cold temperatures. And interestingly, the researchers learned that EVs don’t simply shut down when they lose power but instead deliver a series of warnings to the driver, with driving comfort and speed levels maintained until the very last few miles. Because itÂ’s Norway, the worldÂ’s top market for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles by market share, the test included many EVs that arenÂ’t available here in the U.S. But there are many familiar faces, among them the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Models S, 3 and X, Hyundai Kona (known here as the Kona Electric) and Ioniq, and Audi E-Tron. In terms of range, the top-performing EV was the Hyundai Kona, which lost only 9% of its official range, which the WTLP rated at 449 kilometers, or 279 miles, compared to its EPA-rated range of 258 miles on a full charge. It delivered 405 km, just enough to nudge it ahead of the Tesla Model 3, which returned 404 km. Other top performers included the Audi E-Tron, in both its 50 Quattro (13% lower range) and higher-powered 55 Quattro (14% lower) guises; the Hyundai Ioniq (10% lower); and Volkswagen e-Golf (11% lower). At 610 km (379 miles) the Tesla Model S has the longest WLTP range of all models tested and went the furthest, but still lost 23% of its range, though it also encountered energy-sapping heavy snow at the end of its test, when many cars had dropped out. The Model 3 lost 28% of its range. The worst performer? That goes to the Opel Ampera-e, better known stateside as the Chevrolet Bolt. It traveled 297 km (about 184 miles) in the test, which was nearly 30% lower than its stated WLTP range. We should also note that Opel, now owned by Groupe PSA, is phasing the car out in Europe and that Chevy recently upgraded the Bolt here in the U.S.
