1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, Convertable
This is a fantastic car, the Ghia is in excellent shape, has the automanual transmission, engine runs great, windows are all good including the top back one, interior is brand new, top is in good shape, engine is tuned, battery is new, tires are good. The only two items that are not perfect is dashboard has a crack in the center and the back right top of fender has a small dent, no cracked paint though. She drives really well, is comfortable and heater works great. This is a perfect weekend driver car, surfing car, or even normal day driving car.
I've already said many of the selling points up above. I got this car for my mom and she loved it but got vertigo so is no longer driving very much, this is the only reason I'm selling the Ghia. If you love convertibles that have a sleek and fun look then the Karmenn Ghia is the car for you. Also the Ghia has a fun but tiny motor so gas mileage is great. Oh the Auto-manual is kind of a rare option but really fun - you shift like a standard but there is no clutch pedal. So this is a rare find all around.
Vehicle is available locally and listing may end at any time.

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
