 I'd like to trade this car for a "1st Generation 4Runner".....or sell it out right...I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY OTHER POSSIBLE TRADES...please.

I've had the car about 3-4 years....my back and forth to work car...when I bought it, it had just received a new clutch. After I purchased it, I put new rotors and brakes on all fours, replaced the water pump/serpentine belt and tensioner, plugs and plug wires, black leather center consel lid, replaced the front tires (have since been replaced again), and intalled an AWE all-stainless catback exhaust, K&N filter intake (I think it is K&N but not sure....I just bought what "German Autoparts" supplied.....The car was inspected and passed in September 2013 after replacing the catalytic converter (cost me $1000). I have put several thousand dollars into the car and I know that some of it was maintenance but it currently has just over 166,000 miles and runs and sounds great. The windows are tinted and it looks really AWESOME but the passenger window just started peeling ($25 dollar fix-see photo). It has the 2.8L VR6 with a 5 speed manual. It's all black leather inside...no tears in the leather or the dash, however, the driver side seat back seam needs to be restitched about 3 inch length. This can be easily fixed but I just don't have the time. Windshield does have a crack in it about eight inches long on the passengers side but has not moved in the last 3 years that I've had it and the center counsel serving the back seat area has one missing endcap. It's a pretty car and sounds great...but I need a truck....I don't see many of these on the road...black on black with every option available for the GTI-GLX including sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise, tilt, all leather, stock fog lights and heated front seats. Everything works and it drives great.  The engine light goes off and on for some reason ...I'm fairly certain that it's because the air intake hose is not completely sealed around the intake...I've tried wrestling with it but it tires me out...it runs like a race car and I've already replaced the catalytic coverter so I know it's not a high dollar item.

Let me know what you would like to know about the car....I'll do my best to answer any questions.

Thanks for looking!

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
