It is hard to let go of my dream but I have put a lot of money in to her and she needs a new heart. I bought her from a her second buyer a man in OK a few months ago, she has given me a lot of laughs and some great times, but I think she needs a new motor, which I can't afford. She is has an original interior and could be priced out and you could double your investment.
Good Aspects of buying her. Already replaced all the fuel and vacuum lines, of course oil, plugs wires dist cap rotor etc. replaced front disc brake calipers, discs machines, new pads, a couple new rubber brake hoses that had dried out, rear brake cylinders, seals and brake line. Replaced fuel tank filler hose. We replaced the windshield lip metal with new steel from Germany along with new German windshield and rubber seal. The top has new canvas and rubber seals all around the fiberglass top. The interior, we replaced all the wood floor with new oak plywood before installing the new carpet. The metal floor was perfect. Driver and passenger seats were stripped, premiered painted, replaced padding and covered with new upholstery. New carpet, 5 brand new tires and inspected by VW She has a brand new radio and speakers with USB Connection She has new Rear side marker lights New Rubber on Shocks New Side Mirrors Deluxe Bus & Vanwagon Tarp Cover is included New Rear Hatch Mosquito Screen What I am attaching with her purchase: Complete LEFT & RIGHT Front Door Seal Kit w/German Upgrade bought from busdepot.com Over 600 dollar value Things you should know: There is some small areas in the back corners that look like someone had tried to fix a small dent. ( smaller than your hand). I will take real close pictures of those two areas. It's the only place on the bus that I found body filler. Like I said its a small area, can't even see it from two meters. Rubber Windshield washer lines need to be replaced or spliced in. |

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
