tow hitch receiver is installed, black headliner just done, tan leather interior driver seat has some rips for the most part good for age. I have several extras that go with this car let me try to think of them all.  Black dashboard, 17" take 5 vw beetle wheels, spare trunk lid that does not have a spoiler or spoiler holes, Rare aftermarket side mirrors wrapped in carbon fiber and matte black vinyl, rare good looking side skirts unpainted, rare rear window spoiler wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl, Bently repair manual, stock air intake, stock coolant hose, stock aux water pump (still good) billet aluminum "crack" coolant pipe, stock radio, That is about all I can think of right now but if I find something else ill throw it in with the deal. I put a Alpine am/fm media player radio in this car and the wiring was tricking to maintain the factory bose amp but it is a professional quality install. I have many documented receipts for service, repairs, and parts that I keep in a folder and you will get them all. The roof is wrapped in a digital camouflage printed vinyl w/ paint is dead logo ghosted into it. The hood had a "gangsta granny" vinyl wrap from a Paint is Dead music video shoot from 201wrap aka identity design feel free to youtube it its awesome. But I pealed the hood wrap and there is still some adhesive residue on it that can be cleaned off. The car is tastefully and minimally modified. The windows are tinted a little on the dark side but I have never been pulled over for them. I drove this car from tampa to Jacksonville from Jacksonville to savannah many many times and from Jacksonville to texas 2 times never had a problem on any of those trips.  This car was my daily driver from the day I bought it till I would say the middle of 2013 when I bought a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4 then I still drove the vw just not as much. I do a lot of hunting and when on a alligator hunting trip a "friend"s truck was stolen so I let him use my car to get back and to work.  When in his possession it started a coolant leak so the car went back to my vw mechanic and they fixed the coolant hose leak that ran to the oil cooler and replaced the oil cooler gasket also. The same day my "friend" picked up the car from the mechanic he called me and said it started leaking oil so the car went back to the mechanic but his insurance check came in and he bought a used truck and left my car sitting at the mechanic so I had to pay the $40 to get the car from the mechanic since they said the oil leak was not from them working on the oil cooler and they suggested I tow it home so I rented a uhaul and towed it home. The car still starts runs and drives but with the oil leak the mechanic recommends fixing it before driving it on a regular basis.  The mechanic thinks its from the timing chain cover also thinks timing chain guide may be broke but did not give me a 100% diagnosis with out paying labor time for a proper diagnosis. I have a MK6 Jetta for my wife and that will have to fill my vw fix as I just want to call it a day with this mk3 every time I look at it I just get real frustrated thinking how my "friend" screwed me over.  I am a Eagle Scout and in Boy Scouts as a leader with my son and I like to look for the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt and not think of the negative, call me na?ve I guess but at the time my friend and I were close we did a lot of hunting together and he just got full time custody of his son and landed a new good job after loosing the job he had because he did not make it to work when his truck was stolen, even his own mother would not loan him a vehicle and the thing that kills me is since he bought his truck I have not heard a thing from him.  The Sunroof track broke but I replaced the entire sunroof and will also give you the old sunroof as the glass is still good in it.  The odometer messed up and I had to replace it with one showing about 13K more miles than the car really has I have documented the miles that were on the odometer that was removed and the one that replaced it. Oh yeah the car has a newer shark fin style antenna.  The cruise control did work but has stopped my vw mechanic thinks it could be the stalk control unit. The heater core is bypassed because the outside plastic broke when my mechanic was putting on the samco hoses. The ac and all worked great when loaned to my friend. Headlights work, tail lights work, blinkers work reverse lights work, windshield wipers work, fog lights work driver side is missing the lens cover between the fog and turn light. The power windows work other than the driver rear does not but that reminds me that i have some extra power motors w/ regulators for the windows. I have the owners manual. The car is being sold as is and has no reserve! This car has great potential to be a hot VW just throw some air ride on it and a nice set of wheels and boost it ... oh Ill even throw in a Holset Big Turbo if the bid gets over $2800.00 so Bid away! Please contact me if you have any questions. Non-refundable $500.00 deposit due with in 24 hours of end of auction. Paypal is the payment method. Contact me for more pix and info.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
