First of all, I would like to say that my experience buying vehicles on Ebay has been fraught with overly optimistic sellers willing to say anything to sell their vehicles. My last experience involved the word "AWESOME" with several exclamation points in the listing. I should have known better. I assume the seller was blind because he failed to mention several defects. One of which being that the car leaked like a macrame diaphragm. That being said, if anything, I will understate the quality of the car.
I know very little about Volkswagens, and I am selling this car for a friend of mine that appears to know even less than me. When I ask him specifics questions about the car, he is typically staring into space with his finger in his nose. So here it goes, this particular Volkswagen has had a least one repaint. I would call the quality average. There is some over spray on the dashboard. That speaks volumes in itself. There are several chips and scratches in the paints. There is also a touch of surface rust around hinges and handles. I don't know how serious it is but it appears to be minor. There are also several small dents in the car. Rubber bumper guards both front and rear appear to be pulling free of the bumpers. Driver's side seat is loose. I believe it is missing a bolt. Door panels are coming unwrapped and the dashboard has a crack in it. The convertible top is in good condition. The interior of the convertible top, which is white, has several scuff marks on it. I don't know if these will clean up or not. I couldn't access the trunk. When I asked about gaining access, my friend told me that he didn't recall ever needing to get into it. Seriously?
My friend believes the mileage to be accurate. It shows just shy of 95K. He told me that the car has always been reliable and has been serviced regularly. I didn't get to drive the car because the battery was dead. At the very least, the car needs a battery. I was never able to get the car on a lift so I can't speak to the condition of the undercarriage and the overall condition of the exhaust system. The tires and rims are in good condition and the chrome on the car is fair. It has minor pitting that is still very presentable. The glass is in good condition. Overall, this car is in good condition. I have tried to give a very honest appraisal of this car. Please call me with any questions in regards to this car and I will get you an honest answer. My name is Beckett and my number is 970-596-6286.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
