We bought this car from a towing company for our daughter to go to college with. It had a bad motor and a clear title. The towing company told us a bit about the history of the car. It was purchased used by a single mom. Shortly after she bought it, the top end of the motor seized because of a lack of oil and the timing chain broke. The cause was the oil plug was stripped out and was leaking oil. The lady stopped paying on the loan and the bank repossessed it. The towing company was hired by the bank to pick it up and bring it to their impound yard where the bank eventually came out and deemed the car not worth repairing and gave it to the towing company for payment. The bank wrote on the title "scrap". When we went to change the "clean" title to our name, the state changed it to a salvage title because of the word "scrap" being written on it. They said that is the only thing they can do. So, this car was branded because of a single word being written on the title. It was NOT accident damaged. We really didn't care to much because we figured by the time our daughter got finished with it, it would probably be ready for the bone yard anyway. So the work began. The car had 122xxx miles on it when we bought it and we started out with finding another motor for it. The donor motor had 92,098 miles on it and came from a car that was in a rear end accident. The new motor was completely gone over by a certified mechanic and a few recommended things were replace. Spark plugs, spark plug wires, alternator was rebuilt, new accessory belt and tensioner, oil filter, air filter, oil, and water pump. We were going to put in a new clutch while the motor was out but our mechanic said the clutch looked new and was recently replace. No need to put another new one in. The new motor was put in. Next the car got all new wheel bearings all the way around. New brake discs front and back. Ceramic brake pads. New springs front and back, new shocks in the rear, new struts in the front. Brand new high end Good Year tires all the way around. Remind you that this car was for our daughter and all the parts replaced on this car were of high end and not the cheap stuff. Two new parking brake cables, new muffler, new front end ball joints, new steering outer ball joints, new sway bar bushings, new battery, new cabin filter and new wiper blades and a fresh four wheel alignment. Thousands of dollars later and we finally got the car on the road. Now comes the bad part. Our daughter, who knew it was a standard transmission and was willing to learn how to drive it, hated it. I had her out in the car several times and a standard transmission was simply not for her. College was starting and she needed a car ASAP so we went and bought her another Jetta with an automatic trans and off she went. We've had this car for almost two years now and we put only about 2k miles on it. It needs to go and we are going to take a big loss. I'm starting the bidding at $2500 with no reserve. More about the car. It has some minor dents and scratches in it. The A/C system works great but a seal in the A/C pump is leaking and the freon leaks out over time. Mechanic said to change the pump and all will be fine. The second problem we are having is the check engine light. Our mechanic says the code is emissions and diagnosing it farther, it comes down to a small in line vacuum pump not vacuuming down the fuel tank. It"s working intermittently and needs to be replaced. One of the headlight adjusters is not working properly. These things were going to be fixed but when we decided to buy another car for our daughter, all work stopped on this one as we knew we were going to get shafted on it. The car is being auctioned off just the way it sits. We are not going to put another dime into it. Our guess is that we have a little over $5k into it. PLease feel free to ask questions and come test drive it. More pictures will be posted shortly. Actually, we are kind of glad our daughter didn't take this car. With the six cylinder engine in it, this thing is a fast little car. Thanks for looking. The two pictures with the hood open is minutes after the roll back dropped the car off at our house after we purchased it. Just uploaded several new pictures taken of the car minutes ago. It is loaded with climate control, sun roof, P/S, P/W. P/locks, rain sensing windshield wipers, 5 speed, cruise, tilt wheel, leather interior, heated seats, heated and power mirrors. rear trunk spoiler, remote entry, and more. I just can't think of all of them. Car is located in zip 19510.

This week in EVs: Electric Jeeps, Chevy Equinox, reborn VW bus

Sun, Sep 11 2022

There's going to be tons of car news next week as the Detroit Auto Show makes its return after 48 years. OK, so the pandemic and the show's shifting calendar only made it feel like 48 years, but January 2019 was still a long time ago. As we await that wave of headlines, let's look back at the substantial week that already was, specifically in terms of the electric car news that broke. Electric Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S blaze trail to brand's EV future Jeep declared Thursday to be 4xe Day as it revealed loads of previously unknown information about its future electrification efforts. The biggest surprise was the extremely cool and 100% electric Jeep Recon. Although it looks like a Wrangler, it's absolutely not a Wrangler replacement, and is indeed quite different for reasons besides its powertrain (independent front and rear suspension, fully enclosed fenders, fixed roof). As the photos attest, though, you'll be able to remove the doors and rear-quarter windows just like a Wrangler. And again, it's electric. Expect the Recon to be one of the most eagerly anticipated new vehicles over the next couple of years. Yes, years, plural. Production will start in 2024 with reservations accepted starting early next year. Jeep Recon View 5 Photos Â There was then the Wagoneer S. Despite the name, it isn't a sportier Wagoneer variant or even an electric Wagoneer. In fact, the name is temporary according to chief designer Ralph Gilles. This sleek SUV, which sure looks like Jeep's attempt at a Range Rover Vilar (not a bad thing), will apparently have a 600-horsepower electric powertrain. It too will be produced in North America starting in 2024 with reservations starting early next year. Jeep Wagoneer S View 4 Photos Â There actually WILL be an electrified Wagoneer, however: the Grand Wagoneer 4xe PHEV. That's good since the Grand Wagoneer gets pretty atrocious fuel economy. Details were light regarding specs, but we did get a half-decent photo. Finally, the first of these electrified Jeeps to launch will be the Avenger. Yes, Chrysler/Stellantis is dusting off an old Dodge name for a Jeep. That Dodge in question wasn't sold in Europe, though (good for them), which is important since the Jeep Avenger will only be sold on the other side of the pond. It's mechanically based on the same platform as several French Stellantis EV SUVs, and only goes 249 miles on the far more generous European WLTP test cycle.

VW GTI Clubsport Concept celebrates model's 40th birthday with 261 hp

Sat, May 9 2015

Volkswagen is celebrating the four-decade milestone for the GTI with the world debut of the GTI Clubsport concept at the annual Worthersee festival in Austria. While the version in these sketches is just a prototype, European buyers at least are set to get a production model in early 2016. The Clubsport is essentially a way for VW to split the difference between the already well-liked GTI and the hotter Golf R. In concept form, it packs 261 horsepower, compared to 220 hp from the standard version in the US with the Performance Package or 292 hp from the R. A temporary overboost function even lets the Clubsport make about 10 percent more power for short periods. Beyond just the mechanical upgrades, the concept in these sketches also wears a revised lower air dam at the front with a mesh grille and big strakes at the corners, and there's a new roof spoiler and rear diffuser at the back. VW also promises a more "individualized" interior. Unfortunately, the North America might not be getting this more powerful GTI. "There are no plans to bring the car to the US currently," VW spokesperson Mark Gillies told Autoblog. At this time, VW only has info about the Clubsport in German, which you can take a look at below. Related Video: Weltpremiere des Golf GTI Clubsport am Worthersee Exklusives Jubilaumsmodell zum 40. Geburtstag des GTI Golf GTI Clubsport debutiert mit 265 PS und Boost-Funktion Im kommenden Jahr feiert der Golf GTI seinen 40. Geburtstag. Volkswagen wird dieses historische Ereignis mit einem progressiven Jubilaumsmodell adeln: dem neuen Golf GTI Clubsport. In Form einer seriennahen Studie wird Volkswagen den Golf GTI Clubsport bereits am 14. Mai 2015 als Weltpremiere im Rahmen des legendaren GTI-Treffens am Worthersee prasentieren. Mit einer Leistung von 195 kW / 265 PS (plus 35 PS gegenuber dem Golf GTI Performance*) sowie einer temporar dank Boost-Funktion nochmals um rund 10 Prozent hoheren Spitzenleistung soll der Golf GTI Clubsport Anfang 2016 als der bis dato starkste jemals in Serie gebaute „GTI" durchstarten. Das Jubilaumsmodell wird nicht nur mit einem extrem leistungsstarken Motor, sondern mit einem individualisierten Interieur und exklusiven Karosseriedetails auf den Markt kommen. Zu den Design-Modifikationen gehoren ein komplett neuer Frontstoss-fanger, neue Seitenschweller, ein ebenfalls neuer und aerodynamisch hoch innovativer Dachkantenspoiler sowie ein eigens entwickelter Heckdiffusor.
