Arlington, Washington, United States
|
1978 VW convertible fuel injected. Local one owner Washington state car. This car is on consignment at my dealership from the original owner. Title is free and clear Washington state. she has had this car from day one buying it off the showroom floor from a local vw dealer and is in good shape and mechanically well maintained over the year, making this 78 a turn key driver with minimum repairs needed. Body and paint are in good shape with virtually no visible rust on exterior of body. Paint is in above average shape for not being brand new, still having good shine Undercarriage does have a few rusted spots, as seen in my video’s but nothing that wouldn’t be expected for a Washington state car, that has been a driver for nearly 34 years. owner say’s she had it painted a number of years ago, late 90’s. top is in great shape for being many years old, functioning properly and still looking great inside and out. Interior is original and in good acceptable shape. lights are all in proper working order, radio, fuel gauge, speedo are still functional at this time. trunk area is clean and unmolested. Tires are in good shape along with brakes, brakes approx. 40%, but do still function properly as seen in my videos. would probably need replacing in the near future or we could do front and rear if negotiated in sell. engine has been well maintained and iis the 1st year of factory fuel injected. i light oil leaks that appear to be normal condition and nothing detrimental, expected condition, for a car being a daily driver for her. she is selling for only one reason, that being the clutch and stick shift purposes. Hard for her to shift through gears now. This is not a perfect car or was it just restored. but has been very well maintained and cared for as it appears in my photos and videos. I have taken lots of additional photos and videos of car starting and driving, also undercarriage. I hope this will help you in making a clear buying decision. Thanks for your time.

VW pulls Lamborghini and Bentley from the Paris Motor Show
Tue, Sep 20 2016It's been slightly more than a year since the news that Volkswagen had intentionally cheated on diesel emissions testing broke. Since then, the company's reputation and image have suffered and it has struggled to regain its footing and composure. The automaker is shelling out billions in fines, so cost cutting is inevitable. Today, Reuters reports that Volkswagen subsidiaries Lamborghini and Bentley won't bring their elaborate displays to the Paris Motor Show next week. Auto shows can cost automakers millions of dollars, especially for supercar and luxury car brands that constantly try to compete and one-up with each other. Much of the money and fanfare goes to catering the media, and if an automaker has nothing new to reveal it can be difficult to justify the expense. The company told Reuters that it plans to attend smaller events that focus more on potential buyers. The Volkswagen group as a whole has shifted it's focus, both when it comes to products and auto shows like Paris. Next week, the automaker will be focusing on electric vehicles and electromobility. The company plans to reveal a new EV with 373 miles of range, eclipsing both the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt. Volkswagen has plans for 30 new electric vehicles by 2025. Lamborghini and Bentley aren't the only major automakers skipping Paris. Ford, Volvo, and Aston Martin have all decided to save money and focus their efforts elsewhere. Related Video:
VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
