You will get the car but not the contents, except that you will get door cards and back seat/storage cover, fragments of driver's window, six quarts of synthetic blend diesel engine oil and a new oil filter in the box.  If you wish, you will get a few kind words.

Transporting this car from where it is to where you want it to be will be your responsibility.   I will help a little with phone calls and things like that.  Whomever you are, you will get $150 USD, CASH BACK.  Deals like these are hard to equal and impossible to beat.  This opportunity is remarkable.  On top of that, I will entertain, but not necessarily accept, your best offer.

Tell your friends. 

T-boned in driver's door and back quarter; left rear wheel disabled.  Around 12,000 miles on first-class engine rebuild that cost over $3M; has attained 48 mpg on road. Would cruise easily at 75-80 mph, but it wouldn't get 48 mpg doing that. Low to middle 40's in mixed driving.  Does not mark its territory with oil drops.  Has block heater, which I did not use this winter.  Starts easily in 20 degree weather on glow plugs.  

Parts Place in Michigan will sell you a long block without accessories for a bundle, they also sell heads.   This engine has one of their heads, and I can tell you they are good.  Majorly good. Parts Place says most shops screw up VW heads, and I have to agree.  The first shop (a productions head rebuilder) screwed up my head; it blew a gasket.  VW Diesel head gaskets are not cheap.   Heads either.

I have had this car for about ten years.  Spent a ton of money repairing/replacing loads of parts in last three yr. Details on request. Spent a young fortune making it shift right and always find the right gear.   Replaced main shift rod, and those are not easy to get (NLA from Volkswagen), but it makes the car go into reverse when you want it to.   Windshield wiper motor stripped out drive gear; it turns but it doesn't wipe.  Junk radio.  Heater seems weak, but it does work at least some.

Nearly new tires; tire on disabled wheel is holding air.  All glass good except driver's window, which is in one million pieces.   You get the pieces.   No important rust damage.   I even replaced the battery tray $$$.

Car is nearly perfect mechanical donor. Has Optima battery. New radiator with the overhaul.   Old one started leaking when rebuilt engine fired first time. Curses.  

I hate to see it just go to crusher with no parts, particularly the engine, saved.  I have tried to find a sound derelict unibody with no luck.  Ask any question you wish.   You may inspect all you desire and see/hear it start/run before closing.   If you have been around these cars, you know that odometers fail.  Actual mileage believed to be astronomic; I have replaced odometer three times.   May have Texas Salvage Title by time sold. 

I will refund you $150 against your shipping cost, if it is large, small, or essentially zero.  What a deal.   If you arrive with a trailer, I'll give you $150 back out of what you paid.   If you arrive with a dolly or a flatbed, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid.  If your transport company arrives, I will refund $150 to you out of what you paid.  If you live down the street from me and I just don't know it, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid.  

I did the best I could with the pictures.   I promise you the car is not sideways. What else is there to say, except this is a hell of a good deal for the right person?  One more thing: It's also for sale in other venues, and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time.   So get in here and bid !!

Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
