Car is located in suburban St. Louis, 11 miles east of the Arch.

Runs and drives but will need to tow.  Has low power and black smoke when warm. Exterior has a few dings and one small dent.  Paintless Dent Removal said all can be addressed.  A few scuffs on rear bumper.  Windshield cracked.  Interior is good with no rips or cracks.  Some wear on buttons.  Brake pad light on.

I bought this car to fix up for my daughter but thought it was a 5-speed automatic, when it is actually a 5-speed manual.  So I am selling it as I bought it.  I am disclosing everything I know about it.  But please keep in mind that I have only had it a few weeks and have limited knowledge.

This is a car that will can be made nice with some work.  I bought it with that in mind. 

This car is loaded, with sunroof, heated seats, leather, Satellite Radio, and most options.

It is definitely a mechanic's special as it has been diagnosed needing a new camshaft and O2 sensor, as well as front brake pads.  The camshaft replacement is necessary on most of these and the kit with bearings, lifters and cam is about $450.  The engine sounds good with no knocking. The job is about 4 hours with easy access in car for a mechanic.

Starts right up. I drove it a couple of miles and it drove well, except that it is low on power and put out black smoke after a bit of driving.  Clutch is fine.  Has had timing belt replaced.  But it has the common camshaft wear so it is low on power, per the shop.

I will be glad to cooperate with shipping but my price is firm.  Trying to get out what I have in it.  Clear title in hand.

Tue, Apr 4 2023

The 2023 New York International Auto Show shifts into high gear Wednesday, April 5, and our reporters are already in the city, with events unfolding even as we speak. We'll being seeing cars in person, interviewing automaker insiders and snapping photos of vehicles and all the other oddities that pop up at an event like this and we'll be giving you live updates and color from the show floor along the way.  Ram, Hyundai, Subaru, Kia, VW and Jeep are all expected to show something new this week, and other automakers are known to be hosting off-site events that may produce news — expected or otherwise. Genesis has already revealed its GV80 Coupe, for example, along with the fact that it has been confirmed as a production model. And we're just getting started.  Read on below for our observations from the show floor and points beyond: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Dyno run hints VW GTI power might be significantly underrated

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Are you one of the lucky owners of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI? If yes, you should be happy, because your 210- or 220-horsepower hot hatchback might actually have more like 260 ponies under its hood. That's according to a dyno test from a vendor on, of all places, a Ford Focus ST enthusiast forum. The company is estimating a 15-percent drivetrain loss with the GTI's best result a whopping 263 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque at the crank. That's a tremendous difference from the 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque that Volkswagen claims. Of course, this is merely one dyno session on one car. We'll have to wait until more 2015 GTI owners get on the rolling road to see if Volkswagen really was as conservative about its hot hatch's output as FocusST.org claims.
