I have owned this car for ten years. I got it from a friend of mine you stopped driving due to health reasons. He owned the car for five years prior to me. The car was repainted in driving 1999 with the fenders taken off and new rubber installed. Since I have owned it the car has only been driven in good weather. It was never driven in the rain and put away every year for the winter. Five years ago I asy to work onpulled the engine because of the push rod tubes leaking oil from the seals. the engine was sent to a local machine and checked over to make sure every thing was up to proper specs and any leaking seals and gaskets were replaced. As the engine was being put back together many items were replaced as needed. Items replaced include a new carb, fuel pump, fuel lines, and filter. Also the gas tank was repaired for a small leak and tumbled clean with solvent and media. Many of the engine tins that were bent were replaced with chromed brand new ones. A new clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing were put on before the engine was installed. Also a new starter and battery were installed.
This is a fun easy car! It is fun and easy to drive! People wave to you as you drive by, and everyone has a story to tell about the time they stuffed ten people in one, or put a parked one up on someones lawn. It is easy to park and fits almost anywhere. Its easy on gas having a small engine. Its is easy to get replacement parts as they are available from many sources and still available from V/W dealers, and it is very easy to work on as there are many books and web sites out there dealing with the V/W.
There are some small dings and scratches from driving and attending car shows, but nothing bad. There is some surface rust on the under carriage from being stored in an unheated garage. Look at the pictures and you will see that overall its in good condition.
Don't let this one get away!

Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035
Tue, Jun 21 2022BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
VW LogBox and Race App performance data logger for R models [w/video]
Tue, Dec 30 2014Now that it's got a 300-horsepower Golf R to brag about, Volkswagen wants you to be able to brag about it accurately with the LogBox and Race App performance data logging combo. Plug the LogBox into your VW's OBD II port and it sends data over BlueTooth to the Race App, measuring variables like acceleration, distance, G-force and engine performance. If you're on a circuit, it uses Google Maps to make a map of the track, and you can record live video in-app to match with the data. Volkswagen says the LogBox will be available for R models and "a range of further Volkswagen cars," so you'll want to hit up your dealer with questions before ordering. It's available from the VW accessories store for 299 euros ($365 US), but right now the free app is only available in German, in the German-language iTunes and Google Play store. We imagine that will be corrected shortly; in the meantime, the video can show you how it works.
