1999 Vw Cabrio For Restoration on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
I've been in the car restoration business for 40 years and bought this last October to restore and sell this summer; however the employee who would have done most of the work got sick and couldn't work. I wear about 40 hats in the business so with my other projects have not gotten around to it and am not going to. I mention I've been in business for 40 years to convey the idea that I know how to pick the easy & profitable restorations. In any case this has the 2 liter engine, which was running well when purchased; however doesn't seem to want to start now due to the factory alarm shutting things down. the car drove well with the exception that it didn't want to go into a couple of gears-originally I thought it might be the linkage, now think the tranny may need changing or rebuilding. The body is quite straight and rust free. The top is good, but it will need a back window. the interior has some split seams which can be sewed easily. While maybe not for the faint of heart or totally inexperienced it would be a shame to junk this car. As a bonded Washington dealer the purchaser is gauranteed good tittle to this car. Washington residents must pay sales tax & transfer fees as well as signing applicable transfer documents out of state residents have no taxes to pay,but do have to sign the appropriate sales documents and unless stated other wise all vehicle sales are as is. Contact is required with in 48 hours and a 20% downpayment is due in 3 days with the balance due with in 10 days of the auction end. Transportation at purchasers expense can be arranged anywhere in the world. I'm getting rid of 40 years worth of cars, parts, Motorcycle stuff, automobilia, and antiques so check out my other auctions most of which are no reserve & free shipping

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen 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.
