  hi and thnx ~!~ this car was a recent auction sale and caught my eye. I try to attend estate and donation sales, as you never know what you might find. this car appealed to me because I had the exact same car 10 years ago!! blue, 5 speed, diesel, tan cloth, crank windows, hubcaps and the same clear coat paint issues on the hood and roof. I drove that car till 211,000 miles and trade it for a 1998 Passat, and really loved the car.

 

  this VW does not have low miles (but not too bad), it is not the prettiest, it has only cloth seats that are showing age, but.... it runs great. clean and straight panels, decent rubber, good brakes, horn, wipers, lights, glass, runs strong, great motor, no leaks, tranny fine, clutch fine. around town or at 70 mph on the road, a pleasure to drive. and, as I recall, don't forget about the 45-50 MPG ratings this car and I enjoyed.

 

  but, it is an older car and far from perfect. the radio is an updated KENWOOD cd w remote, the rocker panel on passenger side has a rust spot, the right front fender has a bump and scuff, interior is tan and shows wear and some tear, drivers door panel/handle has a small split, hood and roof paint have typical clear coat peeling (only there), there is one remote and key fob and it is broken so I use just the key.

  car runs and drives like a champ. motor is super clean and dry, newer belts and hose, clamps, battery, etc., you can tell at a glance. the car is fine to drive and expect cheap and reliable transportation for now and the future. this is a low eBay priced car and I expect you folks know what is right for you, so no reserve.  

 

  please feel free to bid and buy, call or email and or just come by. say hi and take a drive. inspections are welcome anytime. I have sold a dozen cars on eBay recently, and thank you, all is and went well. but, a number of times I am shipping cars or having them picked up. I have a shipping agent I use nearby in Stamford CT. please give me a chance to help you with delivery at no extra cost.  thank you >> j. bettes  203.258.33556  .> 800 Clinton ave., Bridgeport, CT   06604

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
