You will get the car but not the contents, except that you will get door cards and back seat/storage cover, fragments of driver's window, six quarts of synthetic blend diesel engine oil and a new oil filter in the box. If you wish, you will get a few kind words. Transporting this car from where it is to where you want it to be will be your responsibility. I will help a little with phone calls and things like that. Whomever you are, you will get $150 USD, CASH BACK. Deals like these are hard to equal and impossible to beat. This opportunity is remarkable. On top of that, I will entertain, but not necessarily accept, your best offer. Tell your friends. T-boned in driver's door and back quarter; left rear wheel disabled. Around 12,000 miles on first-class engine rebuild that cost over $3M; has attained 48 mpg on road. Would cruise easily at 75-80 mph, but it wouldn't get 48 mpg doing that. Low to middle 40's in mixed driving. Does not mark its territory with oil drops. Has block heater, which I did not use this winter. Starts easily in 20 degree weather on glow plugs. Parts Place in Michigan will sell you a long block without accessories for a bundle, they also sell heads. This engine has one of their heads, and I can tell you they are good. Majorly good. Parts Place says most shops screw up VW heads, and I have to agree. The first shop (a productions head rebuilder) screwed up my head; it blew a gasket. VW Diesel head gaskets are not cheap. Heads either. I have had this car for about ten years. Spent a ton of money repairing/replacing loads of parts in last three yr. Details on request. Spent a young fortune making it shift right and always find the right gear. Replaced main shift rod, and those are not easy to get (NLA from Volkswagen), but it makes the car go into reverse when you want it to. Windshield wiper motor stripped out drive gear; it turns but it doesn't wipe. Junk radio. Heater seems weak, but it does work at least some. Nearly new tires; tire on disabled wheel is holding air. All glass good except driver's window, which is in one million pieces. You get the pieces. No important rust damage. I even replaced the battery tray $$$. Car is nearly perfect mechanical donor. Has Optima battery. New radiator with the overhaul. Old one started leaking when rebuilt engine fired first time. Curses. I hate to see it just go to crusher with no parts, particularly the engine, saved. I have tried to find a sound derelict unibody with no luck. Ask any question you wish. You may inspect all you desire and see/hear it start/run before closing. If you have been around these cars, you know that odometers fail. Actual mileage believed to be astronomic; I have replaced odometer three times. May have Texas Salvage Title by time sold. I will refund you $150 against your shipping cost, if it is large, small, or essentially zero. What a deal. If you arrive with a trailer, I'll give you $150 back out of what you paid. If you arrive with a dolly or a flatbed, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid. If your transport company arrives, I will refund $150 to you out of what you paid. If you live down the street from me and I just don't know it, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid. I did the best I could with the pictures. I promise you the car is not sideways. What else is there to say, except this is a hell of a good deal for the right person? One more thing: It's also for sale in other venues, and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time. So get in here and bid !! |

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio
Fri, Sep 30 2016Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
