1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet Base Convertible 2-door 1.8l - No Resrve!! on 2040-cars
Davidsonville, Maryland, United States
|
Just in time for summer!! You are bidding on our family-owned 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet. We have had this car for about 16 years. It belong to my aunt and then I purchased it from her. I have done many upgrades to the car. I have replaced the convertible canvas top. I had repainted it to Porsche guards- red. I added headers and a Techtonic exhaust system. It's a quick little car. I have also replaced the motor and radiator two years ago. The motor is still a stock 8v 1.8 L engine. I have only used premium fuel as well. The steering wheel has been upgraded to a Momo (pictured). The interior including the seats and carpet have all been refurbished as well. The seat covers on all the cars accustomed to match the paint and rims, obviously. Since we have redone the car, it has always been parked in the garage. There is no rust anywhere on the car in the body is bone-straight. It has never been in an accident. In the past 6-7 years, it is never been driven in the rain or snow. Most of the mechanical and cosmetic upgrades have been done in the past 6-7 years but, it is still a work in progress. The rims and tires are like new-they have maybe 2000 miles on them total. I have the original rims and tires and they will convey with the car (must be taken - I need the room!) Additionally, I had to have the speedometer replaced because the original one stopped working @ 157k. Although the odometer reads 110K, the motor, clutch and exhaust have less than 4k miles on them. The radio has been upgraded. It is iPod ready. The a/c and heat also work perfectly.
Mechanical issues: You will need a new battery or to recharge the current one. It has sat for over a year in the garage. It took a while for me to jump it, but it does start and run well. The steering column needs a bracket. The car handles great but you can hear a "bump" when making tight turns. The horn doesn't work. It needs a relay fan switch. While driving, the car runs great, when stopped, the fan doesn't turn on and it may overheat. The fan works, but the relay switch does not. The hose that runs from the antifreeze reservoir to the radiator needs to be replaced. The rubber around the windows needs to be replaced as well. The top doesn't leak but water will get in from the window jams (be careful when washing.) This has never been an issue for me, as I have kept it out of the elements during my ownership. My family and I have had a lot of great memories with the "Red Baron." It has only been a spring and summer car for us and we will miss it greatly, but it is time to move on. Hopefully you will give it the same amount of love and attention that we have. This vehicle is being
offered for sale “AS-IS” because of year and miles. If you are new to Ebay or if you have fewer
than 4 transactions, please contact me prior to bidding for approval to bid or
I will cancel your bid immediately.
There is a $125 documentation fee in addition to the final selling
price. A $500 non-refundable deposit is
required via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Transaction must be
completed within 7 days of auction end (full payment and pick-up arrangements
at least). I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as
possible. Once purchased, this car can
be driven anywhere in the country without issue. For those of you who are not
local, BWI is the closest airport to my location. Contact me via email with any questions.
Please bid with confidence and good luck. |

VW issues orders for police version of e-Golf
Thu, Sep 11 2014If the Toyota Prius could be used (in fiction, anyway) as a quiet way to do a drive-by shooting, then a pure electric vehicle should have some silent benefits for the police. It's happening in the real world thanks to the new police-spec VW e-Golf. On display at an international police equipment conference in Germany this week (the Internationalen Fachmesse fur Polizeiausrustung), the 5-0-ready EV has a special paint job as well as the required top lights and digital communications gear. VW says the special e-Golf also stands ready to serve the mission of emissions reduction. The powertrain is the same as what you'll find in the civilian e-Golf, which means an 85-kW electric motor that can zip up to 62 miles per hour in 10.4 seconds and a li-ion battery that provides something between 80 and 118 miles of range. We imagine using this little car for a high-speed car chase will shrink that down a bit. Volkswagen Konzern prasentiert Fahrzeuge mit Spezialausstattung auf Polizei-Fachmesse Internationale Premiere: Der e-Golf* als Polizei-Einsatzfahrzeug Der Volkswagen Konzern prasentiert eine breite Palette seiner Fahrzeugmodelle mit speziellen Polizei-Sonderausstattungen auf der 8. Internationalen Fachmesse fur Polizeiausrustung. Vertreten sind die Marken Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, SKODA und Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge. Die Volkswagen Leasing GmbH komplettiert als Finanzdienstleister den Konzernauftritt. Die Fachmesse findet vom 9. bis 11. September 2014 auf dem Messegelande in Leipzig statt. Als Messehighlight wird der e-Golf als Polizeieinsatzfahrzeug prasentiert. Damit verfolgt Volkswagen auch in diesem speziellen Fahrzeugsegment das Ziel der Schadstoffreduktion. Die Ausstattung umfasst neben der Sondersignalanlage unter anderem Digitalfunk und das klassische Erscheinungsbild in typisch blauer Beklebung. Ausgestellt werden weiterhin ein Golf Variant, ein T5 und ein Audi Q5 als Funkstreifenwagen sowie ein SKODA Octavia Kombi RS und ein SEAT Leon FR in der zivilen Variante. Fachbesucher finden den Volkswagen Messestand in der Halle 1, Stand H02. Der e-Golf uberzeugt mit einem wegweisend niedrigen Verbrauch von 12,7 kWh/100 km. Der Elektromotor leistet 85 kW/115 PS und entwickelt aus dem Stand maximal 270 Nm Drehmoment. In 4,2 Sekunden werden 60 km/h erreicht, nach 10,4 Sekunden 100 km/h. Die Reichweite liegt je nach Streckenprofil, Fahrweise, Einsatz von Komfort- und Nebenverbrauchern sowie Zuladung zwischen 130 und 190 Kilometern.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
