I bought this car as a gift for my wife for Christmas 2011 and it turns out she doesn't want to drive a 4 speed anymore and it just sits in my garage, so it's time to go. I bought the car out of Boise, Idaho and there are no rust issues that I could find. The floor pan has been replaced by a prior owner. I am not a VW guy, so I can't give you a lot of technical information. The car is a head turner and a blast to drive (especially with the top down), runs good, shifts good, idles smooth at a stop, non-smoker, and does not burn oil. I have numerous receipts for work that I had done before I would let my wife drive it, totaling $4,056. The brakes were gone through completely, shoes, pads, wheel cylinders, rotors, carburetor, ball joints, all new tires, new spare tire and wheel, new muffler, new drive axle seals, new antenna, new VW emblems front & rear, new air cleaner, etc.. The Ghia has a tachometer (in the dash), oil pressure and oil temperature gauges (under the dash). The car has always been stored in my garage which is temperature controlled. The car spends most of its time in the garage under its fitted cover so not many miles have been put on the car since I bought it a year and a half ago. This car is a driver (which is why I bought it) that you can take to the grocery store and not worry about parking it! The body has a few minor scratches and there is a small dent in the right front fender. I have posted a nice selection of pictures for your viewing and can send you pictures of any area you want to see more of, just send me an email through ebay that includes your email address and I will get you the shots you want and answer any questions you may have. The rear license plate was found at a swap meet and is period correct for 1971 in Washington state and is legal as I had it licensed as a classic car (as such does not have to be relicensed every year). I left the 1976 Centennial tab sticker on it because I thought it looked cool. For the legal stuff, an Ebay Auction is a legal binding contract, so please have all your finances in order prior to bidding. This car is being sold "as is and where is" so it is the responsibility of the buyer to pick the car up or make shipping arrangements. To the winning bidder a $500.00 deposit through Paypal is required at the close of the auction and full payment is to be made within 7 days unless other arrangements are made prior to that time. Payment will need to be Certified bank funds or bank wire transfer, or of course cash if so inclined, and all funds will have to clear our bank before the car and clear title will be released. Thanks for looking...and bid to win!!

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
