This car is low mileage for a 2002, is in good mechanical condition, but it has a number of things that need attention. Rather than refurbishing the car, I am selling the car As Is. This car is in Alpharetta in suburban Atlanta and is available for inspection or test drive at your convenience. Here's a summary:
Good Things: Engine runs well and always starts easily. Automatic Transmission is fine. Air Conditioning works. Electric windows and door locks all work (driver's window switch is a little floppy). Radio/cassette/CD works fine. New battery this week. Alloy wheels are in good condition, although one is in the trunk with a flat tire. Three tires have very good tread, but the tire/alloy wheel in the trunk may have a sidewall puncture. Body has no serious damage or dents, but there are some dings and scratches. Handbrake works fine. There is no odor in the car, and the car hasn't been smoked in. I have both original keys. I have a new, clean title. No sign of rust anywhere, and I just cleaned the whole car thoroughly.
Bad Things: Paint on most of the horizontal surfaces is in bad condition, except for the hood, which is in good condition. See photos. Passenger side mirror is cracked and is missing glass. Paintwork below mirror is damaged where it looks like the mirror dangled. Floor mats were shot so I pitched them, but carpet is good underneath. Passenger seat fore/aft adjustment is balky. Left tail light housing is cracked. Righ rear stop light is out. At 40 mph and higher, the car runs fine, but there seems to be some sort of extra roaring noise like the car is in too low a gear, but the tach seems to read normally. Some of the vacuum hoses on the top of the engine were replaced with stock rubber hoses and couplings (roadside, probably) and don't look Factory. Glove box handle is missing.
Brake story. This is my son's car. One day last September he found he had an impossibly hard brake pedal so he had the car towed home, parked it, and borrowed my truck. Well, eight months later I diagnosed the brake problem as two deteriorated vacuum hoses to the Brake Booster. I replaced the hoses and the brakes worked normally, except the pedal was a bit hard at very low speed. I took it to my local NAPA repair shop, and they found another deteriorated hose annd replaced it. Now the brakes feel 100% good at 10 mph and above, and 90% good below 10 mph, as the pedal is just a bit harder than stock at parking speeds. By the way, after sitting for eight months the car started immediately on the first turn of the key after I fitted a fresh battery.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.
