Completely clean AutoCheck report!

Car is in good condition, runs but has some issues:

The cons:
Rear brakes are sticking due to some rust and will need to be replaced.  CEL codes are coming up as well due to O2 sensors needing to be replaced.  I will include one of the two that it appears to need.  O2 sensor codes are not always about the O2 sensor but I got it anyway, just didn't get around to replacing it.  Car does not start up on first crank, it takes a second crank to get it going, this happens only on a cold start.  It works fine if stopping the engine and then turning it back on within a few minutes.


Windsor blue with tan/black leather interior, needs a bit of work but have a lot of extra stuff to go with it to make this a very excellent deal.

The pros:
  • All doors, handles and windows work without any issues. Has a nice aftermarket CD/AM/FM unit.
  •  Completely redone headliner (looks brand new, took me some time to do it but it was well worth it).
  • Shocks were replaced with Bilstein TC units about 20,000 mi ago.  Water pump, and all cooling plastic components (thermostat housing, water distribution pipe, etc.) were replaced about 10,000 mi ago.  Pulley for accessory belt was replaced with an all-aluminum version.  Front suspension components (ball-joints, bushings, tie rod ends) were replaced about 40,000 mi ago.
  • Car was kept in excellent condition with oil changes every 3-4 thousand  miles.
  • Almost all highway miles since I've owned it.
  • Interior is well-maintained and clean.  Some minor blemishes around the inside, some torn leather on the driver's seat and a smaller tear on the passenger's seat also.
  • Will include a variety of extra parts. Rear brake caliper, rear brake pads, rear rotor, O2 sensor, and other extra parts as well.
  • Also including the original 5-speed transmission that came with the car.  It was replaced due to issues with the reverse gear.  Car is working fine with replacement transmission.
  • 4x Michelin Ice-X snow tires used for one season are on the car now.  I will also include 8x of the bottle-cap (stock) rims (2 sets).
  • Exterior is in decent shape.  Does have a crease on driver's side door and some expected wear and tear.
Location is in Rhinebeck, NY (near the Kingston/Poughkeepsie area, 100 miles (approximately 2 hours) straight north of NYC).

Car runs but brakes are dragging a bit, best to come pick up with dolly or have it repaired somewhere locally.


Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I will reply within a few hours, if not instantly.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Volkswagen might cut 40 models across brands to save cash

Mon, Jun 20 2016

Volkswagen once set out to pass Toyota and General Motors and become the largest automaker in the world. Following months of fallout from the diesel emissions scandal, the manufacturer is rumored to be dropping around 40 models from its company-wide lineup. According to German business and finance publication Handelsblatt, the Volkswagen Group is looking to slim down and remove a number of low-volume vehicles from various lineups. The company currently sells around 340 models across brands that include Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Volkswagen is refusing to comment, but Handelsblatt claims to have sources within the company. Last week, Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller announced a new strategy for the company that includes a major focus on electric vehicles and new technology services. During his announcement, Muller said the company would be cutting a number of models, but at the time no numbers, models, or brands were discussed. Despite comments to the contrary, rumors have persisted since late last year that Volkswagen was looking to sell commercial truck and bus manufacturer MAN. Volkswagen owns truck and bus manufacturer Scania, so even if it dropped MAN, the company would still have a foothold within the bus and truck market. There is also talk of the company selling Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which Volkswagen acquired via Audi in 2012. The company's image has taken a huge hit in the wake of the diesel scandal. Volkswagen has set aside cash in order to pay fines and may be looking to sell these several subsidiaries and cut low-volume models in order offset the costs. Despite the scandal, the company led worldwide sales in the first quarter of 2016. The same was true in 2015, but sales tanked at the end of the year following the diesel revelations.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
