Original Listing information follows without edits:

I bought this car in early April as a project from a local repair shop. Though the top was new, the paint was an issue. I also noticed a duct tape repair on the driver's door card. The oversized 16"x7.5" wheels had bald tires on them so they had to be changed out. After quite a bit of work, this car is ready to sell! So here is what I have done:

I had the transmission replaced with rebuilt unit by Greenville Transmission Clinic. The clutch was replaced while the transmission was out. The passenger side axle was also replaced at the same time. I then took the car to Maaco for a fresh coat of paint. After I got the car home, I had received the VW OEM wheels that I had bought here on eBay and put them on the car with two new tires. I also put the replacement driver's side door card (from a 2001 Cabrio) on to be rid of the duct tape repair. I then noticed wheel bearing noise so I first replaced the left-rear wheel bearing (I checked the rear brake shoes which were good) which reduced the noise some, but not completely. Next, I replaced the front right wheel bearing which required replacing the hub since the old wheel bearing came apart and the inner race was seized and would not come off the hub. While I had the front wheels off for this, I noticed that the front brake pads needed replacement which came next, along with an oil change with Castrol GTX and a new Fram oil filter. Finally, I replaced the left rear tail light lens with a spare I had to finish the project off! 

There is a CD stereo system installed but does not power-up for some reason. The cruise control is present but doesn't lock in for some reason. But the car has a nice smooth ride and offers a very comfortable ride. Though I hold a clear title to the car, I have not bought a tag to take the car on anything other than local secondary roads to road test for any distance. The engine has plenty of power so there will be no disappointment there. The Greenville Transmission, Maaco, and other part receipts will be provided to the new owner for the warranty that goes with these. Otherwise, no other warranty is offered either expressed or implied.

Skoda plans big investment into electric cars as part of rebound effort

Wed, Mar 24 2021

PRAGUE — Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Wednesday it would invest around 2.5 billion euros over the next five years on future technologies, with more than half going to electric vehicle investment. The Czech Republic's largest exporter is hoping for a rebound in 2021 from a global car sales drop but faces uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic and a semiconductor shortage rattling the industry. "This year is likely to be another big challenge," finance director Klaus-Dieter Schuermann said. "We expect Skoda Auto's group performance to improve, with sales revenue significantly above the level of last year." Skoda reported on Wednesday a 54.5% drop in 2020 operating to 756 million euros ($894 million). Sales revenue dropped 13.8% to 17.1 billion euros. Global deliveries remained above 1 million cars for a seventh straight year despite a 19% drop after production outages at the outset of the pandemic and a fall in China, its biggest single market. Chief Executive Thomas Shaefer said the car company was managing the semiconductor shortage "but it will follow us for awhile" and the impact was not visible yet. Skoda's core market in Europe would be electric in the future, Shaefer said, although it was still not time to completely switch away from traditional models, which include the launch last year of a new generation of its flagship Octavia model. It has also started production of the all-electric Enyaq iV model, which is a version of Volkswagen's ID.4. Skoda plans investments of 1.4 billion euros into electromobility development as part of its five-year investment plan. Investments will also go into digitalization activities and plant modernization. Related video: Green Volkswagen Skoda Electric

Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche.

The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."
