This is sold AS IS but in running, driving condition. ABSOLUTELY NO GUARENTEES but I would trust it. If you are far away, I would recommend having a trailer but that's up to you. I have driven it 100 miles recently and Ive never broke down with it.
I have a nice little bug for sale.. I just bought another truck and need to make some room for it. This is my 4th vehicle and although Id love to keep it, its just not practical. Its a fun little TOY. Ive just installed all new brake shoes, brake hardware kits and wheel cylinders. The tires are in good condition. The motor is a 1600cc. It has its typical oil leaks like any other old aircooled vw motor, but are all ez and cheap fixes. You can have the motor pulled out of this thing in 20 minutes. The body on the car is pretty solid. It does have a rust hole under the gas pedal but not big. The rest of the floor is solid as well. It has an expensive pioneer cd player in it. The ignition is worn as they all do. It has a separate starter button that's located behind the seat. Headliner and door panels are pretty nice. the seats do have some rips but not visible. It also has the typical gassy smell that they all have. If your looking for a PERFECT condition car, then this isn't for you. If you want a fun little toy that is in good shape for the year then here ya go. It will come with a few extra parts and also a car cover. I have close to $4000 in this and am not going to give it away so don't bother lowballing me. Ill just store it for the winter if need be rather than sell it for a ridiculous low price. Let me know if you want to see it. As far as any issues, I would trust it about anywhere. It has a few clunks in the front end but I have the parts to fix them. Just haven't had the time yet. Ive had this up to 80 mph. Although I wouldn't recommend it, It will do it. It drives very nice at 65mph. It is a 4spd manual.
UNDER 60,000 miles but still drive it every day so will go up. I have no way to know if the mileage is correct or if its turned over but my guess is that its accurate.

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project
Tue, Jan 7 2014It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
