You are bidding on a rust free original 29800 mile Volkswagen Cabriolet. This is a desert car from LaQuinta, California where the clear title is in my name. This is quite an amazing car, was owned by a local resident who used the cabriolet as a golf car until he could no longer drive. I purchased the car from his family and have never used it, the car is still in the same condition, the paint has a light patina and as far as I,m concernerd it should stay that way so I have done no polishing, detailing or touch ups, this is the way a classic should be kept. Also no detailing means nothing to hide,what you see is what you get. Older records and past titles help document the mileage as well as the sellers family information but I will not warrant the mileage. The car looks like it,s mileage, perfect original interior, the seats show no wear or sag. It has been repainted years ago and still looks great, hard to tell that it has been repainted as it was a professional job. The seals around the hood are getting old and show there age, the top is fine except for a seam separation around the rear window from the California sun. The car starts first turn ,runs perfect with no smoke, smells or strange noises other than the air cooled Volkswagen signature sound. Shifts smooth, stong clutch, newer tires and full service including oil and fluids as well as brakes, the car is very road worthy.Steering and suspension are tight and positive. Has had recent tune up and maintainance from a local shop. Previous owner liked the look of Porsche 356 rims and hubcaps and put them on the vehicle, I do not have the originals. I am a 356 Porsche collector but appreciate a clean unmolested car and this is why I bought this Volkswagen but it just dosent fit in with my collection so off it goes to a new owner. The top shows a split seam above the rear window but does not warrant a new top at all. The car is in Southern California and can be shipped anywhere at the buyers expense but I am more than willing to assist a safe move wherever the destination. I have a low reserve on the car so I am sure it will sell. Any questions feel free to email me and I also have a photoshare with around a 100 detailed pictures to help you decide if this is the car for you, email me for the link if you are serious.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

Volkswagen Golf GTD Variant burns the oil long and fast

Wed, Mar 4 2015

Volkswagen offers no shortage of variations on the Golf theme in America, from the base hatchback and the electric e-Golf to the sporty GTI and performance-oriented Golf R. But as many as are available Stateside, there are even more that never make it here. Like the one you see above. It's called the Volkswagen Golf GTD Variant. It's based on what we'd know as the new Golf SportWagen, which is just arriving in the US now, but this one packs the performance upgrades from the Golf GTD. Isn't that a typo? Don't we mean GTI? No, we don't: we mean GTD. Because in Europe, you can get what is essentially a GTI with a diesel, complete with all (or at least most) of the gear you'd find in the petrol hot hatch, only with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four packing 181 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. That may not sound like all that much as far as performance models go, but it's more than we'll be able to get from either the gasoline or diesel versions of the Golf SportWagen back in the States. And that makes us a little jealous, especially with room for the kids, the dog and all their gear in the back. World premiere of the new Golf GTD Variant - The perfect all-round package: sporty, economical, comfortable and spacious - Launch set for Geneva Motor Show Since 1982 Volkswagen's GTD logo has stood for Gran Turismo Diesel, with its promise of sporty yet economical motoring. Now for the first time, the GTD initials grace the Golf Variant, which like the Golf GTD, boasts the 184 PS (135 kW) TDI engine. The new Golf GTD Variant is set for its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, and is available to order as of now at a price of 31,975 euros. The Golf GTD Variant* is excellently placed to establish itself as an iconic long-distance cruiser. The 184 PS TDI engine takes the Golf GTD Variant to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds with the 2-litre unit delivering a maximum torque of 380 Nm – and yet this sporty Variant car boasts impressive fuel consumption figures of only 4.4 litres per 100 km. The car's sporty character is reflected in its exterior design: along with special GTD bumpers and the honeycomb radiator grille, the Golf GTD Variant also features smoked rear lights and flared sills. The look is completed by 17-inch Curitiba alloys, black roof rails and dual chrome tailpipes.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
