Completely clean AutoCheck report!

Car is in good condition, runs but has some issues:

The cons:
Rear brakes are sticking due to some rust and will need to be replaced.  CEL codes are coming up as well due to O2 sensors needing to be replaced.  I will include one of the two that it appears to need.  O2 sensor codes are not always about the O2 sensor but I got it anyway, just didn't get around to replacing it.  Car does not start up on first crank, it takes a second crank to get it going, this happens only on a cold start.  It works fine if stopping the engine and then turning it back on within a few minutes.


Windsor blue with tan/black leather interior, needs a bit of work but have a lot of extra stuff to go with it to make this a very excellent deal.

The pros:
  • All doors, handles and windows work without any issues. Has a nice aftermarket CD/AM/FM unit.
  •  Completely redone headliner (looks brand new, took me some time to do it but it was well worth it).
  • Shocks were replaced with Bilstein TC units about 20,000 mi ago.  Water pump, and all cooling plastic components (thermostat housing, water distribution pipe, etc.) were replaced about 10,000 mi ago.  Pulley for accessory belt was replaced with an all-aluminum version.  Front suspension components (ball-joints, bushings, tie rod ends) were replaced about 40,000 mi ago.
  • Car was kept in excellent condition with oil changes every 3-4 thousand  miles.
  • Almost all highway miles since I've owned it.
  • Interior is well-maintained and clean.  Some minor blemishes around the inside, some torn leather on the driver's seat and a smaller tear on the passenger's seat also.
  • Will include a variety of extra parts. Rear brake caliper, rear brake pads, rear rotor, O2 sensor, and other extra parts as well.
  • Also including the original 5-speed transmission that came with the car.  It was replaced due to issues with the reverse gear.  Car is working fine with replacement transmission.
  • 4x Michelin Ice-X snow tires used for one season are on the car now.  I will also include 8x of the bottle-cap (stock) rims (2 sets).
  • Exterior is in decent shape.  Does have a crease on driver's side door and some expected wear and tear.
Location is in Rhinebeck, NY (near the Kingston/Poughkeepsie area, 100 miles (approximately 2 hours) straight north of NYC).

Car runs but brakes are dragging a bit, best to come pick up with dolly or have it repaired somewhere locally.


Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I will reply within a few hours, if not instantly.

Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE is a sleek take on brand's future CUV

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Volkswagen continues its long tease leading up to an eventual US-built, seven-passenger, three-row crossover with the Cross Coupe GTE at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. While it's still affixed with the tinsel of a concept car, there are a lot of details that will arrive on VW's eventual production crossover. The wheelbase of the GTE is said to be identical to the production model, although this five-passenger CUV is actually about a foot shorter overall, Volkswagen's chief of design, Klaus Bischoff, told Autoblog. The overall shape of the GTE's greenhouse, meanwhile, will also be very similar to the car that'll come to market, although more progressive from the C-pillar forward (that's right kids, that sexy sloping rear end isn't for production). Despite the aggressive rake, a peek in the GTE's trunk revealed room for the CUV's third row. Beyond hinting at a new addition to the company's lineup, the GTE also gives us a look at future Volkswagen design, including the use of four-element LED running lamps. Body lines will be as sharp as is feasible. Look for the production version of Volkswagen's seven-passenger SUV at the end of next year. Until then, check out the two-row concept, courtesy of our live images from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z get smoked by unlikely hero

Mon, Jun 1 2015

So a Nissan 350Z Procharger and a current Porsche 911 GT3 drive onto the Autobahn together - stop me if you've heard this one before - and they decide to race. We're not sure how much power the Z is packing, but the stock model topped out at 306 horsepower on the last year of its run in 2009. And if that's a stock GT3 then it will be rocking something like 475 horsepower. So the Z and the GT3 give it a racing go, and just as one of them starts to pull away they're both overtaken by one of the most unlikely dark horses you could imagine. It's a really short video and we won't spoil the surprise, so check it out above.

Final Volkswagen Eos to leave the plant in May

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Volkswagen has made no secret of its plans to wind down production of the Eos hardtop convertible, and the automaker has already celebrated the model's retirement in the US with the Final Edition (pictured above). However, the company now has an actual time for that end to come. The final Eos rolls off the line from the VW factory in Portugal in May, according to Germany's Automobilwoche, and European customers have until March 27 to get any final orders in. The company has no plans to offer a successor, it previously indicated. After about nine years of production and some 230,000 made, the Eos proved to be a success, at least in its home market of Germany. A VW spokesperson told Automobilwoche it was the country's bestselling hardtop convertible at one point, but customer preferences have changed toward preferring soft-top models. That switch spelled doom for the Eos. Drivers who want some wind in their hair still have some choices in the VW lineup. The Beetle Convertible remains on sale in the US, and Europeans also get the droptop Golf.
