Just to be clear, this Thing is not mint or perfect. It could use a new paint and there has been some body work on it in the past. It could also use a new front bumper as there is a tow lift. (Bend) In my opinion, I will be conservative and rate it as very good- very fine. I will let the photos speak for themselves. I am selling this as my work schedule will not allow me to enjoy it as I would like to. It has basically just been sitting. I have no more than 100 miles put on this car since I have owned it, that being about 4 years. The farthest trip I have taken it on has been to the local gas station about 5 miles away. It has a new top and window sides, new floor boards, new carburetor, new muffler, new seatbelts, new spirit of America rims and new Cooper Discoverer P 205/75 R15 tires. It starts up everytime for me. For things I have not completed. I have not had a chance to put the new horn in it. It is still in the box. I bought new cables for the heater boxes that have not been installed. There is no windshield wash reservoir. No radio. Antennae is broke. No duct work under the dash, although the defrost hose is placed under the dash to heat the windshield. All the electric (except horn) is functioning. I will mention this in all honesty.The only issue I had has been the right front headlight and back up light. They are working as I am listing this, but once in awhile I have had to remove the fuse and put back in and they would work fine. Maybe just a bad contact or possibly a new fuse holder will correct the issue. I bought a new back up light switch that is still in the box and will be included with extra new parts that I would pick up. (New brake fluid reservoir, fuses, rubber trim between fenders and body). Mileage rolled over. Winning bidder will be responsible for shipping. $500 deposit will be made 24 hours after end of auction with balance paid and cleared within 7 days. Certified bank check or money order. Sale is final as is. No warranty.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars
Tue, May 10 2016Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.
