Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Too many little things to describe here. I tried to photograph the cosmetic problems. The engine runs great, the transmission shifts smoothly and firmly, the brakes and brake lines were recently worked on. Uses modern gas with no additives."

This is an ongoing project. We have it running great, new brakes, some new engine parts. All exterior lights work. It needs new floor pans welded in (the usual VW rust has eaten through the floor pans) and seat tracks. It has only two small dents and many little cosmetic problems. The dash board has a crack in it and the instruments work but the instrument lights do not work. It was originally green but re-painted red a few years ago. It needs new door panels and new upholstery on the floor. The plastic seats are not cracked. It has the original seat belts. It has a brand new convertible top that was eaten through by mice in my garage and needs to be replaced :-<. It has the original glass rear window and all frame parts for the top. There are too many little issues to describe here, like the inside of the glove box needs to be put in (reproduction glove box liners are available online). I took photos of some things that need attention. The tires are in great shape, we recently drove from Cincinnati Ohio to Lawrenceburg Indiana on the freeway and on back roads with no problems. The transmission is tight and it shifts like a brand new car. A couple of new brake lines, cylinders and shoes. The engine hums like a bee. It's a real pleasure to drive.

The mileage is unknown. I put 100,000 because eBay won't let me leave this field blank. The actual mileage is somewhat less, according to my mechanic. The odometer/speedometer was replaced and many of the parts on this car were replaced with either original VW parts or with reproduction parts from the VW folks in California. You know the ones. Every single part of this car is available online, except for the rear glass window and dashboard. They make glue-on dash boards that cover the old one, but I never bought one. The headlights and all lights work but the instrument panel lights do not. I ordered a new headlight switch (which controls the panel lights) because the old one is bad and I should have it replaced by the time the auction ends.

This vehicle may be seen and driven any time. Email me for an appointment if you'd like to do a test drive and inspection.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
