You are bidding on a rust free original 29800 mile Volkswagen Cabriolet. This is a desert car from LaQuinta, California where the clear title is in my name. This is quite an amazing car, was owned by a local resident who used the cabriolet as a golf car until he could no longer drive. I purchased the car from his family and have never used it, the car is still in the same condition, the paint has a light patina and as far as I,m concernerd it should stay that way so I have done no polishing, detailing or touch ups, this is the way a classic should be kept. Also no detailing means nothing to hide,what you see is what you get. Older records and past titles help document the mileage as well as the sellers family information but I will not warrant the mileage. The car looks like it,s mileage, perfect original interior, the seats show no wear or sag. It has been repainted years ago and still looks great, hard to tell that it has been repainted as it was a professional job. The seals around the hood are getting old and show there age, the top is fine except for a seam separation around the rear window from the California sun. The car starts first turn ,runs perfect with no smoke, smells or strange noises other than the air cooled Volkswagen signature sound. Shifts smooth, stong clutch, newer tires and full service including oil and fluids as well as brakes, the car is very road worthy.Steering and suspension are tight and positive. Has had recent tune up and maintainance from a local shop. Previous owner liked the look of Porsche 356 rims and hubcaps and put them on the vehicle, I do not have the originals. I am a 356 Porsche collector but appreciate a clean unmolested car and this is why I bought this Volkswagen but it just dosent fit in with my collection so off it goes to a new owner. The top shows a split seam above the rear window but does not warrant a new top at all. The car is in Southern California and can be shipped anywhere at the buyers expense but I am more than willing to assist a safe move wherever the destination. I have a low reserve on the car so I am sure it will sell. Any questions feel free to email me and I also have a photoshare with around a 100 detailed pictures to help you decide if this is the car for you, email me for the link if you are serious.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
