Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. 1970. Drives great. We've had the car in the family for nine years. Purchased in 2004 in Columbus, Ohio. It is currently in Athens, Ohio, where it has been for the past seven years. My wife drives it to/from work (15 miles) in the spring and summer months. The interior is in excellent condition and the engine is solid, although the brakes are a little soft. Car was originally dry-stored out west until the 1990s, but Ohio weather has created small rust spots and bubbling around some of the wheel wells and one of the head lights. There is no radio, and oddly, I cannot seem to turn off the heater (strange in a Volkswagon, eh?). Also, the generator light has remained on since we had the battery wiring replaced last winter. The center of both the front and rear bumper shows have small dents (see photos). The car is cherry red and still has a great shine but there are some minor imperfections in the paint if you look closely.. but over all.. it looks very nice on the road, and is fun to drive. The underneath still is in good condition, and as I said, it runs mechanically well... although may stall at idle now and again. A fun, fun car to drive. Seat belts still work, too!
Call if you’ve got any questions or if you would like to see it. (614) 443-6626. Would like to complete all transactions no later than Sunday, July 14th. Serious inquiries only, please.

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
