This car is low mileage for a 2002, is in good mechanical condition, but it has a number of things that need attention. Rather than refurbishing the car, I am selling the car As Is. This car is in Alpharetta in suburban Atlanta and is available for inspection or test drive at your convenience. Here's a summary:
Good Things: Engine runs well and always starts easily. Automatic Transmission is fine. Air Conditioning works. Electric windows and door locks all work (driver's window switch is a little floppy). Radio/cassette/CD works fine. New battery this week. Alloy wheels are in good condition, although one is in the trunk with a flat tire. Three tires have very good tread, but the tire/alloy wheel in the trunk may have a sidewall puncture. Body has no serious damage or dents, but there are some dings and scratches. Handbrake works fine. There is no odor in the car, and the car hasn't been smoked in. I have both original keys. I have a new, clean title. No sign of rust anywhere, and I just cleaned the whole car thoroughly.
Bad Things: Paint on most of the horizontal surfaces is in bad condition, except for the hood, which is in good condition. See photos. Passenger side mirror is cracked and is missing glass. Paintwork below mirror is damaged where it looks like the mirror dangled. Floor mats were shot so I pitched them, but carpet is good underneath. Passenger seat fore/aft adjustment is balky. Left tail light housing is cracked. Righ rear stop light is out. At 40 mph and higher, the car runs fine, but there seems to be some sort of extra roaring noise like the car is in too low a gear, but the tach seems to read normally. Some of the vacuum hoses on the top of the engine were replaced with stock rubber hoses and couplings (roadside, probably) and don't look Factory. Glove box handle is missing.
Brake story. This is my son's car. One day last September he found he had an impossibly hard brake pedal so he had the car towed home, parked it, and borrowed my truck. Well, eight months later I diagnosed the brake problem as two deteriorated vacuum hoses to the Brake Booster. I replaced the hoses and the brakes worked normally, except the pedal was a bit hard at very low speed. I took it to my local NAPA repair shop, and they found another deteriorated hose annd replaced it. Now the brakes feel 100% good at 10 mph and above, and 90% good below 10 mph, as the pedal is just a bit harder than stock at parking speeds. By the way, after sitting for eight months the car started immediately on the first turn of the key after I fitted a fresh battery.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
