Hi, You are looking at our little VW Bug named Klaus. It was originally a southern vehicle and since it has come to Minnesota it has not seen a winter. The pictures you see are only from pulling it out of a heated garage to take them and putting it right back in the garage. The vehicle started out as a rust free vehicle. The color that it is now is also the original color. It has an engine and transmission that have less then 500 miles on them. All the tires have less then 100 miles on them. They were installed at the end of last summer. All of the brakes and brake components were replaced at the same time the tires were put on. It has a new stereo in it that fits in the factory hole and is made specifically for this vehicle. It has an aux jack in it so you are able to play music from your iPod, iPad, etc. I also put in a speaker that fits in the original speaker hole but is actually two small speakers. This is so you can have stereo sound. All of the steering and suspension components were replaced in the beginning of last summer. The interior was also redone and looks great. Are you getting the picture? Everything is new or refurbished. The only thing that was not replaced was the headliner because I though it was still in great shape. The new paint looks very nice. Car drives like a dream. Here are some upgrades I did. It has a 009 distributor with an electronic ignition for better reliability and less hassle with points. I used a Petronix ignition due to them never failing. It has a Bosche blue-coil in it for more spark. I decided to stick with the stock single port set up but went with a 1600 engine for a bit more power. I upgraded from a Generator to a Alternator. It's just a great almost stock vehicle. The upgrades I did were not to make it fast car, cause it's not, but to make it more reliable by today's standards. It's a vehicle you can just get in and go and not worry about breaking down. Again, everything is new. Check out the pics and let me know if you have any questions. If you need to have this vehicle shipped, I will help with getting it to a shipping yard to save you money. It's usually more expensive to have them come directly to me for pickup.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup
Wed, Jan 14 2015Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
