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 builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
Recharge Wrap-up: BYD sales surge, new Mazda MX-5, plug-in VW Passat
Mon, Jul 7 2014BYD has enjoyed a tremendous leap in sales since last year, according to Want China Times. Sales from January to April were ten times that of the same period last year, with much of the credit going to government subsidies for clean cars. BYD claims, though, that battery production is limiting the number of vehicles it sells, and that by increasing that production capacity, it will see even more success. BYD's Qin plug-in hybrid, introduced in December, has already sold 4,500 units with another 8,000 orders already placed. Read more here. Mazda will reveal the fourth generation of its MX-5 roadster in September. To celebrate the car's 25th anniversary, the all-new two-seat convertible will debut during simultaneous private events in Spain, Japan and the US on September 3 and 4. Furthermore, the new Miata will be the center of a more public event in Barcelona on September 6. For fans in the US, Mazda will hold a Miatas at Mazda Raceway event from September 5 to 7. The 2016 MX-5 promises to continue to offer a lightweight, balanced design for fun and efficiency. The new Volkswagen Passat will feature a plug-in hybrid version. Volkswagen confirmed the Passat PHEV for Europe at the model's unveiling at the Volkswagen Design Centre in Potsdam, Germany. The plug-in Passat uses a 154-horsepower TSI engine and an 80-kilowatt electric motor for a total output of 208 horsepower. With a full charge, it can travel up to 31 miles on electricity alone. All versions of the eighth-generation Passat use stop-start and regenerative braking. Read more at Green Car Congress. BBC warns that the costs of charging an electric vehicle in the UK could surpass those of fueling a gasoline engine. Not so fast, says The Green Car Website. While the BBC cites charging services like Charge Master introducing fees for rapid charging making it cost about as much per mile to drive as traditional internal combustion engines. The Green Car Website points out that most people usually charge at home for much less, that paying for rapid charging is still not that expensive and that the BBC article misses the point about EVs, anyway.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
