tow hitch receiver is installed, black headliner just done, tan leather interior driver seat has some rips for the most part good for age. I have several extras that go with this car let me try to think of them all.  Black dashboard, 17" take 5 vw beetle wheels, spare trunk lid that does not have a spoiler or spoiler holes, Rare aftermarket side mirrors wrapped in carbon fiber and matte black vinyl, rare good looking side skirts unpainted, rare rear window spoiler wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl, Bently repair manual, stock air intake, stock coolant hose, stock aux water pump (still good) billet aluminum "crack" coolant pipe, stock radio, That is about all I can think of right now but if I find something else ill throw it in with the deal. I put a Alpine am/fm media player radio in this car and the wiring was tricking to maintain the factory bose amp but it is a professional quality install. I have many documented receipts for service, repairs, and parts that I keep in a folder and you will get them all. The roof is wrapped in a digital camouflage printed vinyl w/ paint is dead logo ghosted into it. The hood had a "gangsta granny" vinyl wrap from a Paint is Dead music video shoot from 201wrap aka identity design feel free to youtube it its awesome. But I pealed the hood wrap and there is still some adhesive residue on it that can be cleaned off. The car is tastefully and minimally modified. The windows are tinted a little on the dark side but I have never been pulled over for them. I drove this car from tampa to Jacksonville from Jacksonville to savannah many many times and from Jacksonville to texas 2 times never had a problem on any of those trips.  This car was my daily driver from the day I bought it till I would say the middle of 2013 when I bought a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4 then I still drove the vw just not as much. I do a lot of hunting and when on a alligator hunting trip a "friend"s truck was stolen so I let him use my car to get back and to work.  When in his possession it started a coolant leak so the car went back to my vw mechanic and they fixed the coolant hose leak that ran to the oil cooler and replaced the oil cooler gasket also. The same day my "friend" picked up the car from the mechanic he called me and said it started leaking oil so the car went back to the mechanic but his insurance check came in and he bought a used truck and left my car sitting at the mechanic so I had to pay the $40 to get the car from the mechanic since they said the oil leak was not from them working on the oil cooler and they suggested I tow it home so I rented a uhaul and towed it home. The car still starts runs and drives but with the oil leak the mechanic recommends fixing it before driving it on a regular basis.  The mechanic thinks its from the timing chain cover also thinks timing chain guide may be broke but did not give me a 100% diagnosis with out paying labor time for a proper diagnosis. I have a MK6 Jetta for my wife and that will have to fill my vw fix as I just want to call it a day with this mk3 every time I look at it I just get real frustrated thinking how my "friend" screwed me over.  I am a Eagle Scout and in Boy Scouts as a leader with my son and I like to look for the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt and not think of the negative, call me na?ve I guess but at the time my friend and I were close we did a lot of hunting together and he just got full time custody of his son and landed a new good job after loosing the job he had because he did not make it to work when his truck was stolen, even his own mother would not loan him a vehicle and the thing that kills me is since he bought his truck I have not heard a thing from him.  The Sunroof track broke but I replaced the entire sunroof and will also give you the old sunroof as the glass is still good in it.  The odometer messed up and I had to replace it with one showing about 13K more miles than the car really has I have documented the miles that were on the odometer that was removed and the one that replaced it. Oh yeah the car has a newer shark fin style antenna.  The cruise control did work but has stopped my vw mechanic thinks it could be the stalk control unit. The heater core is bypassed because the outside plastic broke when my mechanic was putting on the samco hoses. The ac and all worked great when loaned to my friend. Headlights work, tail lights work, blinkers work reverse lights work, windshield wipers work, fog lights work driver side is missing the lens cover between the fog and turn light. The power windows work other than the driver rear does not but that reminds me that i have some extra power motors w/ regulators for the windows. I have the owners manual. The car is being sold as is and has no reserve! This car has great potential to be a hot VW just throw some air ride on it and a nice set of wheels and boost it ... oh Ill even throw in a Holset Big Turbo if the bid gets over $2800.00 so Bid away! Please contact me if you have any questions. Non-refundable $500.00 deposit due with in 24 hours of end of auction. Paypal is the payment method. Contact me for more pix and info.

New safety and connected features help distinguish VW's lineup

Sat, Aug 1 2015

Volkswagen may have wrested the title of world's largest carmaker away from Toyota this week, but the company still has some work to do in the United States. Despite its worldwide dominance, Volkswagen's American sales have languished. Unlike its red-hot Audi brand, mainstream Volkswagen sales have been afflicted by an assortment of maladies. An aging lineup, a reputation for mechanical gremlins and a lack of a competitive crossover vehicle have all hurt. In the US, the brand's cars claim only two percent of the overall market. As we reported earlier today, Volkswagen took steps this week to upgrade some broader aspects of its weaknesses here. At its Electronics Research Laboratory in Silicon Valley, the company announced it would make several advanced safety features and connectivity options available throughout the bulk of its lineup. Features that have long been available on its premium Audi cars will spread to its more economical offerings. In one big way, they will overstep their premium siblings. Volkswagen said Apple CarPlay, Android Auto (pictured below) and MirrorLink will all be available on a revamped infotainment system. Cars equipped with the new Car-Net-branded systems are arriving in showrooms now. Only last month, Hyundai became the first to offer CarPlay, debuting the smartphone-projection system in its 2015 Sonata. Chevy, Honda, and now Volkswagen, have quickly followed suit. On the safety-minded side, features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, park steering assist and automatic post-collision braking will be optional equipment on most of the brand's 2016 model-year cars. Previously, the features had only been available on the Touareg SUV. They're now available on most Golf variants, the CC, Jetta, Sportwagen and some Beetles. Though the Passat sedan is one of the company's most competitive cars, it was curiously absent from the announcements, though an update could come later this year. While the advanced safety equipment is a boon for motorists increasingly interested in the technology, Volkswagen also added some basic safety tech that's long been available in mainstream competitors' cars, adding features like blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning. One of the big differences consumers might note is the cost of the driver-assistance systems.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
