Very clean and well cared for 1982 Caddy.  Engine is 1.9l conversion from Eurospec Sport with 5000 miles on it.  Intake and exhaust manifold are from Europe and made for the 1.9l NA engine.  Starts first crank every time and easily maintains 80mph even up moderate hills.  Diesel injectors and pump still 1.6 but work fine.  In addition, truck comes with very rare factory Power Steering and AC both working.  Transmission is 5-speed manual with no issues.  Clutch, brake calipers, shoes/pads, shocks, wheel bearings and rotors all replaced same time as engine.

Interior is all original with an added CD player under glovebox.  Rear window is hard to find 3 piece.  Sliding glass broke and currently replaced with plexiglass but original hardware still on hand.  Only defects in interior are two tears in driver seat.  Power locks installed in 2008.

Front end is off 1991 Cabriolet.  Truck was involved in minor accident in 2008, new paint and front body panels at that time.  Paint is not to my high standards but not the worst.  Originally came back to me with bumper from '91 Cabriolet as well but no paint behind bumper.  Hated the bumper and replaced but paint still not fixed.  Rear bumper was just removed as I was going to make custom bumpers and repair minor dent from when rear ended in 2002(so minor, damage not even noticed till 3yrs later).  Small spot of rust under rear window passenger side.

I am second owner of this truck and have had it since 2001.  It has been the most dependable vehicle I've ever had.  Paint in the bed is still original and has had a mat in it since the day it came off the lot as far as I can tell.  I put the first ever scratch in it around 2002.  In 2011 head gasket needed replaced and I elected to take the opportunity to install a new 1.9L to give it some extra power.  Due to military deployments and moves the install was not completed until late 2012.  I have since been fine tuning and working to get the full potential out of engine.  Recently I received larger intake and exhaust manifolds from Germany designed for this engine and installed a new MagnaFlo exhaust.  Truck easily reaches 80mph and I hold in the fast lane any time I need.  With the exception of when it was down for engine swap this has been my daily driver for 12yrs.  I really hate to sell her but I have found a new project and the wife says something has to go.  I have lots of extra parts and accessories that come with the truck.  Only thing that doesn't go, is the original window sticker(I'm framing that baby).

Volkswagen finds CO2 'irregularities' for 800k vehicles

Wed, Nov 4 2015

The latest issue for Volkswagen affects another 800,000 vehicles, and this time its for irregularities in CO2 emissions certifications. VW estimates this issue could cost the company $2.2 billion to fix. The company officially makes no specific mention of which engines are covered, the models they are in, or even where they are located. VW discovered the situation during its ongoing internal investigation, and, according to the automaker, "it was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process." Most of the affected vehicles are diesels, and the company is now reaching out to "the responsible type approval agencies" to figure out the next step. While VW isn't officially confirming which models and engines are involved, Automotive News reports that it affects some 2012 and later VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models with the company's 1.4-, 1.6-, and 2.0-liter diesel engines, as well as the 1.4-liter ACT gasoline engine. The issue mainly affects vehicles sold in Europe. "The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG deeply regrets this situation and wishes to underscore its determination to systematically continue along the present path of clarification and transparency," CEO Matthias Muller said in the announcement. Volkswagen Group of America spokesperson Jeannine Ginivan was able to provide some further clarification to Autoblog. "This is not related to US-certified vehicles," she said. Clarification moving forward: internal investigations at Volkswagen identify irregularities in CO2 levels Matthias Muller: "Relentless and comprehensive clarification is our only alternative." Around 800,000 Group vehicles could be affected Initial estimate puts economic risks at approximately 2 billion euros The Volkswagen Group is moving forward with the clarification of the diesel issue: during the course of internal investigations irregularities were found when determining type approval CO2 levels. Based on present knowledge around 800,000 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group could be affected. An initial estimate puts the economic risks at approximately two billion euros. The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG will immediately start a dialog with the responsible type approval agencies regarding the consequences of these findings. This should lead to a reliable assessment of the legal, and the subsequent economic consequences of this not yet fully explained issue.

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.

8 new cars that are selling below MSRP

Thu, Nov 30 2023

Car shopping has been a frustrating activity for many people in recent years, as strained new car inventories have led to markups and elevated prices across the board. It’s been difficult to find vehicles at anywhere near a reasonable price, and some in-demand models are still listed at a premium today. iSeeCarsÂ’ most recent study looked at several aspects of the new and used vehicle markets and found a handful of models that are selling at a discount – a rarity in todayÂ’s world. Most of the vehicles selling below MSRP in October were electric, though the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 made the top eight. To be clear, weÂ’re not talking about huge discounts here – the Kia EV6 was selling with the largest discount of 3.1%. The other models on the list include: Kia EV6: -3.1 percent off MSRP Ford F-150 hybrid: -2.8% Hyundai Ioniq 6: -2.7% Nissan Armada: -1.8% Hyundai Ioniq 5: -0.9% VW ID.4: -0.6% Kia Niro EV: -0.3% Infiniti QX80: -0.2% Electric and hybrid vehicles like the Kia and Ford have been selling at a premium for a long time, as they experienced stronger than expected demand and had challenging early production runs. That theyÂ’re now selling at a discount could indicate wavering buyer demand, but itÂ’s too early to start sounding any serious alarm bells. Though some models are getting cheaper, the industry average is still heading in the wrong direction. The average MSRP of new cars sold last month was $42,510, while the average sales price was $46,077. That 8.4% overage is surprising to see so many months after the worst of the pandemic has passed. iSeeCarsÂ’ executive analyst Karl Brauer had a few words of encouragement, however, saying, “There are still very few ‘dealsÂ’ in the new car market. Shoppers looking to pay below MSRP for a new car will have to do their research, but a small number of models can be bought below sticker price.” Green Ford Hyundai Infiniti Kia Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying cheap cars
