The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

Selling a 2001 VW GTI. Black with black leather. 1.8 liter turbo motor, with automatic transmission. This is the GLS model (mid level I believe). It does have all of the power options, minus power seats. Has the power glass sunroof, AC, power steering, ABS, airbags and all that good stuff.

The good: timing belt was done at 115k miles. At that time, water pump, tensioner and head gasket were replaced. At 124k miles, the transmission was replaced with a very clean, used unit from a 68k mile car (I may still have the invoice for that somewhere). Turbo was replaced at the same time with a used unit. Interior is in overall good shape. Leather is in good condition. Exterior isn't bad either. Car is overall clean.

The bad: the car has a few bumps and bruises, normally associated with older cars like this one. You can see in the pics that the glove compartment is broken (common among MK4 VW's), inside passenger door handle came off, interior trim tape is peeling (on the roof liner, by passenger window), and a dent on the left front fender where paint is cracking. There is a leak (I believe coolant) at or around the turbo area. We believe one of the hoses has a pin hole or something. Leaves a little spot on the driveway sometimes. We top off the coolant once every 2 weeks or so. Also drips oil from the same general area sometimes, overnight. Not a lot, but it does do it sometimes. We think it may be one of the copper crush washers on one of the turbo oil lines. Check engine light is on because secondary O2 sensor isn't in the exhaust pipe. Needs to be screwed in and harness connector snapped on. The check engine light is on for this issue only. This may be done by the time the car is picked up.

Things that need to be addressed: The water and oil leaks should be looked at, but the car does run and drive, and we do drive it to and from work. The car is registered and insured, and we do use it. The front control arm bushings may need to be replaced (another common issue with VW's). The bushings are cheap. We just haven't gotten around to doing them. It also needs 1 tire. I do have the 4th aluminum wheel, which will be included with the sale, but that tire is no good, hence the spare on the car. Interior trim mentioned can use some love, but the car can be driven the way it is.

So here you have a car that can be running perfectly for a few bucks, or if you are a mechanic, can have this in top condition for next to nothing.

Not sure what else to write here. The car is ready to go, with clear NJ title in hand. Come with cash if you want, and drive it home the same day. The car is at my sister's house, in Woodbridge, NJ.

Car is sold as-is (because they don't warranty 12 year old cars). No reserve auction, and I put a buy it now on there as well. Bid away, but use buy it now if you don't want to risk somebody buying this out from under you.

Thanks for looking!!

Former Audi chief designer Wolfgang Egger leaves Italdesign

Sat, Dec 27 2014

The latest word from the international community of automotive designers has it that Wolfgang Egger is leaving Italdesign, but just where the accomplished designer will land next and who will take his place remain big question marks. Egger is a designer who has bounced back and forth between Italy and Germany over the course of his career. He was born in Germany but studied in Milan. He began his career at Alfa Romeo in 1989 and was named its chief designer by 1993 before being head-hunted by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 to head up the design department at Seat. A few years later he went returned to Italy to run the Lancia design department, and was subsequently renamed to the same post at Alfa Romeo. In 2007 he went back to his native Germany to head up the Audi design office, over which he assumed complete responsibility by 2012, but left Audi in 2013 to run Italdesign. For those unfamiliar, Italdesign is the studio founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro (pictured at left next to Egger) back in 1968 but which, along with many other Italian design houses, fell on hard times in recent years. The Volkswagen Group swooped in to rescue the troubled studio in 2010, turning it into something of an in-house advanced design department to provide an alternative perspective on the direction in which the group and its various brands could take their respective designs moving forward. With Egger now leaving its helm, Italdesign and its German parent company will need to find his replacement, and we're sure they'll announce one in due course. The bigger question on our minds, however, is where Egger himself will head next. Given the path his career has taken to date, we wouldn't be surprised to see him land elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group or find a new role in the expanding Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire. Then again, Egger could find it time to open an entirely new chapter. Watch this space.

Meet ZelectricBug, the amazing '63 VW Bug converted to EV power

Thu, Feb 27 2014

No 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.
