CLICK ON ARROW > ON PICTURE BELOW TO WATCH VIDEO

THIS IS AN ESTATE SALE AND NOT MY PERSONAL CAR. I AM REPRESENTING IT FOR OUR CLIENTS AND HAVE ONLY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF IT.

AGAIN I’VE BEEN ASKED TO REPRESENT AN UNUSUAL VINTAGE VOLKSWAGON “THING.” THESE ARE BECOMING EVERMORE POPULAR. YOU DON’T SEE THEM AROUND ANY MORE AND THEY ARE JUST AN UNUSUAL LOOKING CAR. IT HAS A MANUAL TOP; ALL GUAGES AND LIGHTS WERE WORKING AT THE TIME OF DRIVING…… AND IT HAS 70,000 ORIGINAL MILES.

LET ME TELL YOU THIS IS NOT A 100% PERFECT CAR, BUT IT IS A LOT MORE RESPECTABLE THAN MOST OF THE “THINGS” THAT ARE AVAILABLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THE ENGINE STARTS FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. IT SHIFTS THROUGH THE GEARS WITH NO GRINDING OR JUMPING OUT OF GEAR. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID AND HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BY MERELY PUTTING SHEET METAL AND THEN RHINO LINING THEM. THE SEATS ARE IN EXTREMELY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION, AS IS THE MANUAL TOP.

THERE ARE SOME BUBBLING PAINT ISSUES THAT I HAVE TAKEN CLOSE UP PHOTOS OF….BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO START TO MAKE ONE PERFECT, THIS IS THE ONE TO START WITH. THE ONLY FLAW IN THE MECHANICS THAT I HAVE OBSERVED IS THE PULLING OF THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE. AND IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT, IT CAN CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE.

LOOK AT THE VIDEO AND ALL STILL PUCTURES. CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR OFFERS.

I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS. PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR OFFERS. I REMIND YOU, THIS 41 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY WILL REQUIRE MAINTENANCE AND TWEEKING. DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE A MAINTENANCE FREE "NEW CAR" EXPERIENCE ...AND WORKING ON THESE OLD CLASICS IS HALF THE FUN. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

I CAN BE REACHED AT (954)444-0850

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
