See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Overall a great Bus. No emissions where I live so if you need to pass emissions it will need a muffler and catalytic converter. Interior is starting to show some age. no rips or tears but the wallpaper like covering that VW put on back then is starting to peel from the age of the glue. The pop top has a tear on the drivers side and the screen needs a new zipper. Also needs new gasket around the pop top. The Odometer is broken and shows 300,000 miles, I was told that due to plastic gears they would start to roll over the 100,000 marker when the 10,000 mile rolled over The drivers side window roller has recently snapped, and there is a plastic piece that has broken off the front bumper and there is surface rust on the front and rear Chrome bumpers. I have been shown that Turtle wax and elbow grease will remove most of this. LP hook up will need to be replaced due to age due to Park Ranger regulations. I was told that the sink works though I have never used it, The refrigerator works"

Great restoration project. All the mechanical work has been done with the exception of the Catalytic Converter and the Muffler. Needs a new pop-top I was going to repair it but after research discovered that it is cheaper to replace the entire top as it comes with the seal which alone is about $80. The Odometer is broken and shows that it has 300,000 miles. I have had two different VW experts whom have said that the plastic gears had a problem of wearing out and causing the 100,000 mile number to roll over when the 10,000 mile marker rolled. I have also had both the mechanics assure me that it probably has around 120,000-150,000 miles on it based on the condition of engine. I have replaced the entire Brake system along with the entire fuel system including the tank, hoses, lines, injectors, and filler pipes. Tires, Alternator, Belt are new as well. There are a few pieces of surface rust that need to be sanded and painted but no frame rust at anywhere on the vehicle. The sink has not been used as far as I can see, I have never used the stove but after talking to a Park Ranger was told the connector has to be replaced often to avoid a citation.

I bought this car a restoration project but have neither the time or money to finish it now. Whomever purchases this vehicle will have a great car that is one of last of the air-cooled classic VW's ever made. Makes a great camping or road trip car or a quick restoration project for a quick profit. Happy Bidding!

Payment will be thru paypal and buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup in Chattanooga TN. The car is registered in Georgia which will not issue titles for cars over 25 years old. I have discussed this with the Tag Office and they said the sale with be fine with a Bill of Sale and the Registration. You will need to see if your state will issue a title or if you will just need to register the car.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
