This bug runs just fine, engine is strong and all gears work properly. It is a good, solid vehicle but does show some wear. It has about 7000 miles on it since it was built. It has not seen any off-road use, but has been driven on dirt/gravel roads where it has been in South Dakota. The car was originally built professionally in Surprise, AZ before it came to South Dakota. I am selling it because I have 4 VW based vehicles and I just don't use them often enough to justify keeping them all.
The vehicle sale includes a tow bar, two extra sets of tires as listed above, and one extra set of Centerline wheels which have the studded tires mounted on them.
So, what's wrong with it? Here are the items I'm aware of:
There are a few hail dents in the roof, courtesy of a South Dakota hail storm.
The Line lock does not work properly
There are chips in the paint in various areas, notably on the left rear fender. The rear fenders are gray fiberglass and have been primed and rattle can painted.
There are areas on the body that have been primered and rattle can painted. No rust, but I filled in holes in the doors left by previous owners mirror installation, also holes filled on rear quarter panels where fenders were replaced.
The VDO speedometer is driven by a magnetic sensor which is not working correctly. I have been using the GPS for a speedometer. The speedometer drive either needs to be replaced with a direct drive or properly located to work correctly. As a result, the mileage shown above is way in excess of the actual mileage since the engine rebuild.
Shipping: I do not ship. You must make arrangements to ship the vehicle if necessary. I can deliver the vehicle and extras in the Denver area. I travel from Denver to Hot Springs, SD so I could meet buyer on the route to deliver also. You can tow this car easily with the included tow bar. PLEASE: If you want me to deliver as stated above, contact me before bidding to make arrangements since I have a tight schedule.
Payment: I will accept cash or bank check written on local bank. Paypal is acceptable if you cover the paypal additional fees (2.9%). Full payment must be made before I can deliver the vehicle to you.
Inspection: The vehicle will be in Westminster, CO prior to the auction ending date. You may make arrangements through ebay email to see the car anytime after June 8.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon caught completely uncovered
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Without a lot of information to go with them, our camera-toting spies have captured some new images of a Volkswagen Golf wagon variant that is almost completely undisguised. In fact, the one piece of camouflage on the tidy wagon would probably have gone unnoticed to most casual viewers. Look closely at the rear three-quarter view of the car and you'll notice that the apparent taillight clusters are actually fakes - the outline of the real units is faintly visible behind the blue bodywork and the sticker-like fake taillights.
It's a good guess then, that this Golf wagon (called a Golf Kombi by our spy photographer) is a prototype that's pretty far along in the development cycle for Volkswagen. We can't be sure what impact this will have on the company's small wagon offering here in the US, but we'd be pretty surprised if something very like this didn't end up as the next Jetta SportWagen. We might well have more information on that front, after we visit Geneva next week.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
