Up for auction is "Rosie", my daughters local college transportation. This was her first car and we have been keeping it for sentimental reasons as well as it is just plain fun to drive. It gets lots of oohs and aahs along with 40-50 MPG. We have always garaged this car, but it needs to find a home that will drive it more often. Only 11,000 miles have been put on this car going to and from local college since purchased it in 2009.
I have receipts showing over $7,000 spent on the car in the last 21,000 miles of the cars history. Repairs include the following by myself or the previous owner: Current odometer 135,765 Rebuilt 1.6L diesel engine installed @ 114,000 miles.Professionally built by RPM Performance Engines. Original 1.5L was not worthy of rebuilding. New Clutch and all hoses/belts during engine rebuild These repairs totaled $3500 New front and rear brakes/calipers @114,000 miles New shocks/struts/wheel bearings and seals @118,000 miles Re-paint to original Miami Blue @ 120,000 miles. Done in 2008. Cost $1300 New CV boots @ 125,000 miles Installed 200W sound system with subwoofer. Rebuilt alternator/starter @ 130,000 miles New tires New Battery Rebuilt injector pump @ 133,000 miles. $1,000 All new shifter bushings Current odometer is 135,765 All repairs done by professional shops between 2006 and 2014 The car has averaged 4300 miles/year over the past 8 years This car is a real time capsule and is very solid. "Rosy" is located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. She is for sale locally also, but this car needs to go to Miami or California to be driven as original or customized. The car can be shipped or is road ready for a trip. Ask lots of questions on Ebay My reserve is less than what has been spent on professional repairs. Good Luck bidding! |

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
VW uses NorCal Forest to make e-Golf carbon neutral
Mon, Jun 15 2015On the one hand, it's just a forest. There are beautiful redwood trees and clean air, cool, quiet creeks and hidden wildlife. You know, a forest. The kind that have existed for millions of years. On the other, it's a carefully managed collection of natural resources that lets companies pay money to make their products more beneficial to the environment. Welcome to the Garcia River Forest. For our purposes, the Garcia River Forest is interesting because of its connection to Volkswagen. Its young redwoods are helping Volkswagen create something almost unheard of in the automotive industry: a (mostly) carbon-neutral car. The 10,000-foot overview of how this works is as follows: when you buy the electric car, part of your money goes to support three carbon offset projects. These projects (the one in the Garcia River Forest, the Big River And Salmon Creek Forests in California, and the McKinney Landfill in Texas) have put a price on the value of not letting more carbon get into our atmosphere. The calculations come in the form of credits per metric ton of CO2 and VW has paid enough money to cover the emissions it generates during the production and distribution of the e-Golf as well as the charging for around 36,000 miles of driving. VW worked with 3Degrees, a provider of carbon offset services, to calculate the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that each e-Golf will be responsible for, from the factory to the driveway. The Garcia River Forest location is managed by The Conservation Fund (TCF). VW originally announced the carbon-neutral program back when it revealed US details for the e-Golf, in August 2013. Stuart Gardner, project manager at VW of America for the Golf family, told AutoblogGreen that the idea for the carbon offset came from the way VW understands plug-in vehicle buyers. "At Volkswagen, we strive to be leaders in e-mobility and developing alternative powertrains and we realize that, when someone buys an electric vehicle - the e-Golf, for example - they are doing more than just buying an electric vehicle," he said. "They are buying a lifestyle and they want to engage in this lifestyle." VW is not releasing the specific amount of the purchase price of each e-Golf that is directed to the Garcia River Forest (or any other carbon offset projects).
