Reseda, California, United States

You are bidding on a used 1972 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback. Car starts, runs but needs a tune up in order to drive to its full potential. Once you have a tune up done to it, it will run great.

The vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty. Please read full description before bidding. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Below you will find a list of the pros and cons of the vehicle. I have owned the car for the past 14 years but it is time to finally let it go.

Pros:
New tires
New distributor
New battery 
New Carpet (front driver side needs to be re-glued. see pic)
New door panels (driver and passenger. panels need to be assembled properly.)
New dashboard
Newish carbs
New head lights
New cup holder basket
New bamboo tray
New door seals, rear lid seals, engine cap seals and hood seals.
New taillights

New starter

New turn signal switch
Headliner painted for new look (headliner has small holes)
Engine rebuilt with approx. 30k miles on it. 
Floor panels have no rust (see pics. sorry - not the best pics) 

 

Cons.
Needs tune up
windshield has a crack
Tags will expire soon (6/18)
Steering wheel is cracked
Needs steering wheel/front wheel alignment

Door panels need to be fully assembled along with interior part of doors (window track to raise and lower window)

Heater cables/box has been unplugged (normally don't need heat in California)

small rust next to drivers door (outside - see pic)

 

I have tried my best to describe any problems the car may have. Please be aware that it is an older car so naturally it will have more issues than a newer car. The car runs great once it gets a tune up so unfortunately its not one of those "buy and drive" sort of things. You can drive it and it will run but I don't suggest it. Overall its a nice car. Has lots of new items and still solid. All electrical on the car works. Body is solid and has almost no rust. Floor pans look great with no rust (picture is not great but it can give you an idea of what to expect.) Odometer reads 99,xxx but since it resets after 99,999, I really don't know the actual millage on it.

 

Car is being sold as is with no warranty. What you see is what you get. Buyer is responsible for shipping/transporting of vehicle.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and will try my best to answer them

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars

Thu, Mar 5 2015

A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac 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.
