*** THIS LISTING IS FOR MY UNCLE *** (he's
active eBay member (bbjoko) but since I was in same situation and successfully
sold my flooded Ducati motorcycle back in January here on eBay, he asked me to
list this one for him) STORY So, it is with deep regret that he is offering today his much appreciated 2012 Volkswagen EOS 2.0L TSI with Automatic DSG transmission Convertible car. VERY long
story short, he bought this car in January 2013 on an online auction site
(Copart), with a SALVAGE-FLOOD US TITLE. March 2013, Province of Quebec's
government decided that flood-damaged vehicles could NOT be registered anymore
(effective March 2013), no matter when they were purchased. Still hoping
they would consider registration for at least those of us who bought flooded
cars BEFORE the new law, he spent the following months taking EVERYTHING
apart, cleaning, repairing and/or replacing everything that had to be done, FOR
HIM DRIVING THIS CAR IN SUMMER (not for resale or whatever). One year
later, after working countless hours on the vehicle, he's basically stuck with
it, since may 20th of this year, government officially announced
they will stick to their decision. WHAT YOU WILL GET Perfectly
running 2012 VW EOS 2.0L TSI convertible car with 16,169 miles to the counter. EVERYTHING
is working on this car, including, of course, the magnificent hard-top
convertible roof. There're no error codes, no malfunctions. What was done on the car? (My uncle
works part-time in a VW garage, rebuilding salvage cars, so his experience in
the matter is undeniable) -
COMPLETE
professional cleanup; -
Changed driver's
seat mechanism (the whole thing, since
it's all electrical and didn't do well underwater…); -
Cleaned both
front and back passenger's seats (some
rust is visible on front passenger seat frame, didn't bother him, doesn't
affect anything); -
Changed the
complete transmission shifter mechanism; -
Changed all airbag
modules; -
Changed
complete roof opening motor and mechanism; -
Changed all
fluids; What is missing on the car? -
Bluetooth
module; -
Media module; (They're cheap to buy and easy to install. Was
planning on doing so, but since it's a total loss of money in his situation, he
stopped) CONDITION/WARRANTY/TITLE The car is obviously not new, has absolutely no
warranty and is sold strictly as is. We try to describe everything to the best of our knowledge and have
included pictures of the major flaws (some scratches, very small bumps). MANY
more pictures are available, eBay's limit is 24, and we will send everything
you want on demand. As for the title,
this car now has a CANADIAN salvage title. It did have an US title, which was
destroyed by our government (normal procedure), once my uncle transferred the
car on his name. Having the US title back is possible, we don't consider it a
necessity, but are open to discuss. SHIPPING Shipping and shipping fees are buyer's responsibility. I gained great experience in shipping matter when I
sold my Ducati so, I won't do the whole job for you, but definitely will help.
The transporter that carried my motorcycle back to Florida did a perfect job
and was the cheapest I could find. No matter who transports it, you will
definitely need the service of a broker to cross the border (+/- US500$). I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TAXES YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY, since these are
regulated by US government. Of course,
local pick-up is welcome. We don't mind shipping overseas and outside US, but
have far less experience in the matter. (Shipping
to Canada is worthless, basically all provinces share Quebec's vision on
flooded cars, so you will be using it for parts only) PAYMENT Upon
successful sale, an immediate 500$ deposit will be required. Full payment is
due prior to shipping, once everything is set up. Will accept PayPal, cashier's
check (won't ship before it clears) or Wire Transfer. QUESTIONS/ADITIONAL INFORMATION Please feel free to ask any question you may have, we
will answer ASAP; pictures, videos, local visits are available. We've had enough trouble in this adventure, so we want an
easy and pleasant transaction.
HAPPY BIDDING!

Volkswagen finds CO2 'irregularities' for 800k vehicles
Wed, Nov 4 2015The latest issue for Volkswagen affects another 800,000 vehicles, and this time its for irregularities in CO2 emissions certifications. VW estimates this issue could cost the company $2.2 billion to fix. The company officially makes no specific mention of which engines are covered, the models they are in, or even where they are located. VW discovered the situation during its ongoing internal investigation, and, according to the automaker, "it was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process." Most of the affected vehicles are diesels, and the company is now reaching out to "the responsible type approval agencies" to figure out the next step. While VW isn't officially confirming which models and engines are involved, Automotive News reports that it affects some 2012 and later VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models with the company's 1.4-, 1.6-, and 2.0-liter diesel engines, as well as the 1.4-liter ACT gasoline engine. The issue mainly affects vehicles sold in Europe. "The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG deeply regrets this situation and wishes to underscore its determination to systematically continue along the present path of clarification and transparency," CEO Matthias Muller said in the announcement. Volkswagen Group of America spokesperson Jeannine Ginivan was able to provide some further clarification to Autoblog. "This is not related to US-certified vehicles," she said. Clarification moving forward: internal investigations at Volkswagen identify irregularities in CO2 levels Matthias Muller: "Relentless and comprehensive clarification is our only alternative." Around 800,000 Group vehicles could be affected Initial estimate puts economic risks at approximately 2 billion euros The Volkswagen Group is moving forward with the clarification of the diesel issue: during the course of internal investigations irregularities were found when determining type approval CO2 levels. Based on present knowledge around 800,000 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group could be affected. An initial estimate puts the economic risks at approximately two billion euros. The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG will immediately start a dialog with the responsible type approval agencies regarding the consequences of these findings. This should lead to a reliable assessment of the legal, and the subsequent economic consequences of this not yet fully explained issue.
Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power
Thu, Feb 27 2014No word a lie, we here at AutoblogGreen are fans of classic cars. What we are not fond of, however, is the pollution that their inefficient engines create, and so it's great to see our old favorites lovingly up-cycled with electric drivetrains. The ZelectricBug is a beautiful example of how new, cleaner life can be breathed into an old Volkswagen Beetle. Now, we first came across this particular automobile during the Refuel event last summer and we were struck by its cleanly done conversion then. Aside from a few snaps in our gallery, though, we didn't give it the kind of attention it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks over at Roads and Rides have rectified this by turning their pro video camera skills onto the 1963 V-Dub and producing a nice little segment to accompany their write up. Scroll below to see the finished footage and head over to their website for some stills. If all this gives you a hankering for your own Zelectric, the company does have plans to sell to the public starting this summer. If you don't want to wait, EV West, the guys who did the drivetrain work on this car, have conversion kits available for Beetles, as well as a number of other vehicles.

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
