For sale is my much loved 1973 Karmann Ghia Convertible. This is a drop dead beautiful driver that draws a small crowd whenever I drive it. It is best considered a resto/custom, in that although it looks close to stock it is not. The engine is from a Porsche 356B, engine number P607670. This is a good running engine with a value of about 8.5k. The restoration was finished in about 1995 and the car has been garaged stored since. I have put less than 300 miles on it. It was purchased as a incomplete project along with a Ghia coupe which served as a parts donor. The prior owner had rebuilt the floor pan with thicker more stiff metal. The body was put on a rotisserie and donor parts from the coupe were used to replace any rust. Any suspension/brake parts that were not in excellent condition were replaced. The chassis has been slightly lowered and decambered front and rear for better handling and looks. The interior is finished with leather Porsche Sport seats and custom made carpet. Notice the custom speaker pods in the kick panels. The dash, top, top boot cover, seats and other interior parts have been dyed with Sem so that all colors match. The wheels are VW chrome. The exterior paint is Merlot (PPG). The headliner is new. About a week after painting 4-5 small blisters (smaller than dime size) appeared (rf &,lr) which are believed to be reactions with the paint/primer. They have never gotten any worse. Although the paint looks fantastic, it is not perfect. The leather in the seats also looks fantastic, but not perfect. The chrome wheels have some pitting but also look great. The Porsche engine runs very strong and it is pretty loud with the extractor. The tires have OK tread but the rubber is old and they should be replaced for safety. The Zenith carbs have the Porsche pop when cold which may be improved with jetting. This car has clean California Title in hand and is ready for its new owner, hopefully one that will drive it more. A $500 Pay Pal is due at auction close with the balance in cash or cashier's check at delivery. The car can be picked up in Chula Vista (San Diego) CA or I will work with a shipper of the buyer's choice. Any questions can be answered in writing or with a phone call, and if you are in the Southern California area and are so inclined, I am willing to show it to serious eBayers. Selling this is going to break my heart, but we are getting ready to retire and are downsizing everything but the dog!!! This little Ghia is the prettiest girl at the party!! Good luck with your bids!!!!

VW pulls Lamborghini and Bentley from the Paris Motor Show

Tue, Sep 20 2016

It's been slightly more than a year since the news that Volkswagen had intentionally cheated on diesel emissions testing broke. Since then, the company's reputation and image have suffered and it has struggled to regain its footing and composure. The automaker is shelling out billions in fines, so cost cutting is inevitable. Today, Reuters reports that Volkswagen subsidiaries Lamborghini and Bentley won't bring their elaborate displays to the Paris Motor Show next week. Auto shows can cost automakers millions of dollars, especially for supercar and luxury car brands that constantly try to compete and one-up with each other. Much of the money and fanfare goes to catering the media, and if an automaker has nothing new to reveal it can be difficult to justify the expense. The company told Reuters that it plans to attend smaller events that focus more on potential buyers. The Volkswagen group as a whole has shifted it's focus, both when it comes to products and auto shows like Paris. Next week, the automaker will be focusing on electric vehicles and electromobility. The company plans to reveal a new EV with 373 miles of range, eclipsing both the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt. Volkswagen has plans for 30 new electric vehicles by 2025. Lamborghini and Bentley aren't the only major automakers skipping Paris. Ford, Volvo, and Aston Martin have all decided to save money and focus their efforts elsewhere. Related Video:

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
