AWSOME RUNNING AND DRIVING 68 VW CUSTOM "NO RESERVE" I purchased this fun little VW a couple of weeks ago from a fella in North Carolina that I was delivering a 29 Model A frame to. He made me such a great deal that now fellow ebayers should be able to get a fun time for a good price. I have only driven the buggy about 20 fun filled miles but I got a good feel for the condition right away. The little Roadster starts right up and idles just like it should with no funny noises, oil or exhaust leaks. The engine, which I do not know the size of pulls strong with no skips or flat spots in the power band. The transaxle and transmission work perfectly with gear selection and clutch sharp and crisp, no play in shifter. The vehicle ran down the road strait and true and stopped strait with no pull from the 4 wheel drum brakes. The wheels are CABO's with 245/35ZR 20s all the way around with about 80% tread left. The body is a full fiberglass replacement finished in yellow Rhino lining for durability and ease of cleaning. It has a working speedometer, tach and oil pressure gauge (40 psi @ idle). The interior is carpeted thru out the cockpit in black with nice yellow piping against the firewall and the transaxle tunnel. Yellow shifter boot and e-brake cover along with the nicely covered (no tears or holes) front and back seats finish off the interior. The VW is 100% street legal with working headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, horns and seat belts front and back. The outside tub of the vw is finished in cut to fit stainless steel sheeting and has linear 2' white lights located. The bikini top is practically new and shows no age. It has a working Kenwood stereo with removable color matching speaker box. The only non working items are the fuel gauge and volt gauge which I will try to sort out before the auction ends. The engine is dressed with headers, see thru dist cap, chrome air cleaner, chrome belt cover and chrome valve covers. Overall the VW roadster is in above average condition with below average normal wear and tear for the year and quality of the conversion. The roadster is not perfect and is showing some age on the chrome front bumper, some chipping and surface cracking in the fiberglass and interior scuff marks from getting in and out of the vehicle but overall presents itself very well in pictures and in person. I have done my best to describe this vw and it comes with no warranties written or implied however, If you the buyer upon delivery in person feel like I have lied or deceived you in any way in this description I will refund your deposit minus fuel cost (if I deliver) and we can go our separate ways still friends.. I can deliver the VW up to 750 miles from 36067 on an open trailer for $1.25 a loaded mile. If over 750 we can negotiate. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures. |

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
