Let's get to it.Bought the car from my room mate in 99 in TX.It is a TX car originally.$13,370 sticker..basic info 124hp 2.0L fuel injection,FWD,sport transmission,Strut front,torsion rear,four disc brakes,Dual euro headlights,front and rear spoilers,Recaro seats,% speed manual,tornado red paint,Ac..He babied and adored it and all daily maintenance was up to par.I continued with this..Since I owned it I have had the top end done.I used a local garage and they did all this work but it was a bit to complicated for them,hands up in the air I took to an official VW shop and got it finished.Next was the transmission.My clutch disconnected and I was trying to dry shift it to get home.Should have stayed in first but I thought a second gear may get me home quicker.Well it didn't.New transmission from GEX and installed later and we were off and running.Had Brakes done,Put new TT exhaust on,fresh tires and shocks from Big O who was my neighbor who tuned the suspension proper.My work takes me in and out of state so this car has been stored most of my ownership.Inside mind you.Come back after a few years and needed a new fuel pump,Ran around stored again,Back into it drove it to colorado and on the way home she just died on me.Seemed the fuel system was the problem.Stored again and returned two years ago..take to mechanic with fuel system,injectors needing cleaning?and a Dry bearing sound.He takes the easy work of replacing the AC unit..but does not get it running!Cleans injectors etc..bolts all this back on to a compression ratio of #1=120 #2=120 #3=80 #4=120 or 100..I was on the understanding that we were to rebuild the engine he was on the understanding to screw me and run.Car was running when parked.And I have let it be till today.Again stored inside..I just don't have the good mechanics in this area to deal with this car.Nor the time and to many other projects..all of which I can work on due to my local garage climate..need my garage space so it's up for grabs to the right person.
The Good:No major accident ever,Thule racks minus the bike attachments in photo,Yokohama Tires have plenty of tread(New really),shocks suspension tuned with new tires,Low miles transmission,TT exhaust,Alpine pull out deck,Brakes have low miles,sunroof works fine,Recaro seats,Momo gear knob,Prime wheels,Tinted windows. The Bad:Passenger lock does not work,Prime wheels need steel wool or elbow grease compounds to get styled,missing rear right wheel prime cap,rear seats burnt along with my entire house,Rear window tint is falling off,Headliner falling down(how unusual for a vw)dash crack on top(normal)console has been cut for a radio that is no longer there,leather on steering wheel is worn on top,burn holes in seats(one or two each)still lovely sitting in Recaros,Plastics on car need to be played with but no dramas they are not flying off while driving,Rear hatch will not stay up on its own-needs viagra in the form of two new hydraulic hatch poles..has paint pealing off here,scratch here,dent there..but general the body is solid,hood paint seems to want to be a lighter red then the rest of the car.. The Ugly:ENGINE NEEDS REBUILD-This car is not running,no battery and has no warranty. The round out..Good cult classic,solid shell with all working components accept the engine.Looking for someone who knows or lives in an area that can get the work done.I would not be selling this if I had access to a proper mechanic.And I just don't have the time anymore,nor the room for it to do it another day.Otherwise she is worth the fix. Sold as is where is.I have a short window to sell this and get it out of here.Once the auction is done I need it gone,or we arrange to pick it up at another place at buyers expense.Be ready to roll!!Any questions ask them.I have explained this the best I can.It is obvious what it is and described accordingly.Few receipts pryer to me buying are about and all/most receipts when I have owned it are here.I am starting this listing at what I have paid the last mechanic who did the work.So if this was two years back..I would be giving this car away on the first bid.It's a fast fun car that should not be sitting any longer in my opinion.Needs to be out terrorizing the streets again. |

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
