This vehicle is a very clean car with 258,XXX miles and typical wear for that mileage. A few scratches and dings but nothing major. It does have a power draw related to the radio but only when the radio fuse is plugged in. Please do your research on this issue - we have not had it repaired, just driven it without the radio fuse in. Otherwise, it dies if not started every other day or so. Besides that, it is a very dependable vehicle that starts on the coldest days and gets 38+ mpg of diesel. It's been a daily driver since we bought it two years (and almost 20,000 miles) ago and has had several upgrades and all the regular service, including the following:

Upgraded with Sachs solid fly wheel and clutch kit (good to approx. 300 foot pounds of torque!)
Serviced transmission with synthetic Mobil1 fluids at the time of clutch upgrade
Bora brand cam lifters, bearings and valve cover gasket
New timing belt, water pump
New serpentine belt
EGR delete, which causes check engine light to remain on
New boost control valve (Bora)
New 18" tires (only 10k miles on them) on VW factory rims
New rear brakes and rotors (Mintex brand); wasn't ready for Front pads, but those come with the car for when they're needed
Turbo was replaced with low-mileage, 60,000-mile turbo due to bad actuator
New battery
All oil changes done with Total 505.01 synthetic oil and Mann filters
New fuel lift pump (from dealer)
Comes with three keys, owners manual, original window sticker

Features:

Diesel
Heated front seats
Cold weather package
Sunroof
Power windows and locks
Power drivers seat
Manual 5-spd transmission
CD player
Cold air / Hot heat
Cruise control
Airbags

Bought this car as a project and have really enjoyed it. We do have a loan on the car and will use funds from the sale to pay off the loan, after which we will be able to forward the title to the purchaser. We'd be happy to share the bank's contact info with the buyer to arrange the transaction. Feel free to ask questions if we've left anything out. Thanks!

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
