Here are the pros and cons. Pros (Prices taken from Parts Place) - 5 Speed = $200 Mostly New Tires (I replaced all the tires no more than 12,000 ago. They all have good tread). = $109 New Heater Core (As is the case with these older cars, the heater core rusted out and I got radiator fluid all over my floor panels. So I replaced that last winter). = $170 ish New Breaks (Front discs and break pads, and rear break pads all replaced since November). = $100 Radio & Front Speakers (See pic below) = $230 New Injectors, Heat Shields, and Returns = $35 All Radiator Hoses Replaced Since I purchased the car. = $35 Back Left Wheel Bearings (inside and outside) just changed. = $45? Right Drive Shaft Replaced (no more than 12,000 miles ago). Total = $924 that you don't have to spend in parts yourself. -Goodies included - = 24 Timing Belt (I think I bought the tensioner too. That would be another $27) 19 x 4 = 76 Glow Plugs, = 30 Injector Socket, = 12 Break Vacuum Pump Kit, = 40 Compression Tester Total = 182 + 924 = $1100 on parts for the car that you will not need to spend. Cons -Injection Pump needs work (It currently runs, but will die when it is still cold and has an uneven idle when warm. Additionally, it is smoking much more than it should). -Vacuum Pump not working (I have the rebuild kit which would come with the car, just haven't installed it yet. The breaks work, but are stiff without the aid of the pump). -A Few Rust Holes (These are on the passenger side right behind the wheel. See pics below. One of the previous owners dented it there allowing salt to corrode the metal. But for a 34 year-old car that has been in the Mid-west all its life, this is not bad). -Dent (A previous owner hit the back right corner into a pole. I have been working on building it back up, but haven't had time to finish the project. See pic below). -Primer Paint Job (The car was originally silver, but has been painted orange and then primer black. On the negative side, it doesn't look all that pretty. On the positive side, the additional layers of paint have helped preserve the body over the years). -Tail Light Casing Cracked/Chipped (The plastic casing that holds the bulbs is cracked off at points. There is place for two bulbs to be hooked up per tail-light, but only one is currently hooked to each). -Steering Wheel Bearing and Cover (The lower bearing in the steering shaft is missing, which means it clanks when you turn the wheel. Also, the center cover to the steering wheel is missing. See pic below. The horn still works by grounding the horn wire to the metal of the steering wheel). |

Investors storm Volkswagen with $9 billion in lawsuits
Wed, Sep 21 2016Volkswagen's investors are latest group to take up pitchforks against the embattled automaker, and they're seeking $9 billion in damages, Reuters reports. The investor lawsuits were filed in a court in Braunschweig, Germany, near Volkswagen's Wolfsburg headquarters. On Monday, the first business day following the anniversary of the emissions revelations, the court received 750 lawsuits alone. All told, about 1,400 lawsuits have been filed. The largest single claim totals $3.7 billion and was filed more than six months ago. The lawsuits stem from complaints that Volkswagen didn't divulge information on the cheating software to investors quickly enough. Volkswagen has said that it hasn't broken any capital market laws. The $21.5 billion the company set aside to weather the storm may not be enough. The consumer fix is estimated to run the company $14.7 billion, either through buybacks or a fix that still seems unclear. In addition to the lawsuits, Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller confirmed that Audi boss Rupert Stadler is under investigation regarding the scandal. Mueller refused to give further details, but this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Audi has admitted that its 3.0-liter V6 was equipped with the same emissions-cheating software as the 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesels. Stefan Knirsch, Audi's head of development, has been suspended as part of the overall investigation. Knirsch took over duties after his predecessor quit. Knisch was previously head of engine development at Audi. Related Video: News Source: Reuters Green Hirings/Firings/Layoffs Audi Volkswagen Emissions Diesel Vehicles vw diesel scandal
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac 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.
2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
