ok as a kid i had hundreds of vw's wish i kept them all. aww the good ole days well when i saw this one i just had to have it so i bought it then stored it now i have given up my indoor storage and i turned 60 and it is time to downsize so a bunch of my toys have to go and the razor is one of them
if you are familar with old vw's then you may know they never imported these into the usa i have heard that this one came from costa rica but thats a rumor. well it is here in sunny homestead florida it comes with a tow bar and a clear title the paint is older amatuer restoration the paint is super thick being metalflake and it has some cracks and there is minimal rust here and there trying to poke through. its a cool presentable car that runs and drives has brakes and everything now i wouldnt drive it to california but it does drive there is an exhaust leak and it is noisy but i didnt bother putting a muffler on it as there are so many after market ones out there that i didnt want to pick out one you may not like it has dual carbs on a flat pancake engine it runs ok as a vw does the seats are not original and as i know vw's this is the only type 34 razor i have ever seen so there is little else i know. you probable know more than i do. this is a no reserve auction and the starting bid is the lowest i will go and it is at a loss to me. dont offer less i will not take it and dont try to buy it now i will not take it. i am a firm believer in the way ebay works the last bid wins so if you cant afford it dont bid and dont think you can bid than come look at it and decied if you want it that is not going to happen. i encourage anyone interested to come look at it hear it run and test it out on the property there is no insurance on it so it will not be driven on the road for test runs send a mechanic or whoever you want and i will gladly show it to them the car is in homestead fl 33030 this is a very rare car and worth a lot. it is worth putting a show finish on it and being a proud owner of a classic vw that few have thanks for reading feel free to ask questions |

2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
