I purchased this vehicle a couple months ago, and unfortunately, due to a relocation, I must sell it.
The car is in decent condition - no significant rust problems and the engine runs!

It does currently have some difficulty starting, especially after fueling. I'm not sure why, but the clutch can still be popped, and it fires right up after having the battery sit on a charger for a bit. Possibly the alternator?

The engine is a rebuilt DUAL PORT 1600CC, so I'm assuming the body has 77208 miles and the engine has less (couldn't tell you for sure).
The exhaust is an aftermarket performace exhaust, which doesn't allow connection to the heater channels - thus no heat.

The body is in pretty decent condition. There is no significant rust/rotting problems. Solid floors, rear luggage area, and heater channels seem pretty decent. Might be some slight rusting of the channels by the front of the doors. There is some rust bubbling around the rain/roof rack things, and in a couple spots near the rear windows. There are some scratches and a couple small dings in the body of the car. There are a couple of spots where the paint was chipped enough to cause a little rusting. There is some minor rusting/pitting on the chrome parts. I wouldn't stand on the running boards, but i've never felt how brand new running boards feel with weight, so I'm not sure their condition.
When the headlights are on, the high beams are stuck on.
There is a hole in the driver seat, the headliner needs to be replaced (it is dirty and has one tear in the rear), and the dashboard is cracked. It is also eventually going to need new door cards - they are mismatched and the pockets are falling out of the back.

I also have the Bentley Manual and a Super Beetle Restoration Guide for this car.

This is pretty much the extent of my knowledge about this car, and to the best of my knowledge. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them.
The car is being sold As-Is

Pick-Up ONLY on this car. I will not attempt to ship.
Sorry - NO TRADES.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs

Sun, Mar 2 2014

Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun. For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany. In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe." Even Fiat, another automaker long considering a budget brand beneath its Fiat line-up, wasn't sure how to squeeze any extra money from lower-cost products but was sure that it couldn't be done by manufacturing in Europe. If VW hasn't yet made the math work with a joint venture in China, it will be interesting to see how it might build a European go-it-alone business case.
