Priced to sell, great car, fun times, but since I do not have room, it must go! I am willing to accept trainable offers below my reserve. If you are buying out of the Northeast, you are responsible for arranging a transport vehicle and paying for it. I will provide the person to be there when we schedule a time. This car does not have a title since it was never issued one, the "title" is the state registration and will be transfered by signature."

 Condition: some rust spots, the last time it was painted was in the early 90's.  All of the pans are solid, and a new hide-away exhausted installed last winter. 

The bug was just tuned up with new spark plugs and an oil change. 

The previous owner was a California resident, thus the minimal rust.  He was also a bug collector, who collected to many and sold it to me here on eBay Motors.  Since buying it I have done many conversions to make it a New York car such as a conversion from a generator to an alternator ( no more power drains due to the cold!), upgraded the seat covers to a black vinyl, the originals remain underneath if you are qualified to restore the fabric weave, some of it would need a lot of work, but the covers clean up the interior very well. 

The windshield wiper motor just died over the summer, a replacement as well as new wiper arms and wipers have been purchased, I unfortunately do not have the time to install it all.

Great heat!  Fully functional and keeps you warm when you need to be, even the defroster vents work very well without an additional blower.

Shipping and Payment: 
     Shipping or pickup will be at the discretion of the buyer and you are responsible for paying and arranging the service.  I will provide someone to be there when it is picked up.  Full payment is due before vehicle will be released as well as the registration.  A $500 deposit is due immedietly through paypal. Once payment is made, the registration will be sent out ahead of the vehicle as well as any personal receipts if requested.  I am here to work with you and get you the car as quickly and efficiently as possible! Ask any questions, here to answer them!

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
