This is a vehicle I purchased several months ago with the intention of getting it running, registering it, and driving.  Things just didn't work out and now health problems make it impossible (I'm 78).

It has a gasoline engine completely installed, but never started.  It looks to be all there including the computer.  Would be a good candidate for diesel engine completion, or just run it as it is.

The body has NO rust thru anywhere and the paint is very good for a vehicle of this age.  There is no indication of any wrecks or major damage (only dings in the paint.)  Look at the pictures.

The title has been lost, so it will be sold with a bill of sale only. The brakes and clutch seem to work as they should, the glass is all good, and the windows roll up and down.  The tires look somewhat rotten but they still hold air.  The bed is good (no rust thru) and it has a nice camper shell.  The VIN number shown is incorrect.  Ebay requires a 17 digit VIN and this truck only has 16 digits, so they would enter it.  I substituted another 17 digit number to satisfy EBAY.  The correct VIN number is 1v1kg0172cv032362 if that is of any interest to you.  Sorry.

I have put a very low reserve price on it and could hold it here for a  short period of time.  I will require a  deposit of $250 within 24 hours of auction ending, with the remainder due when its picked up.

I will try to answer any questions you may have (I've had a couple of VW diesels in the past, and they get fantastic mileage.  I do have it for sale locally, and reserve the right to end the auction if it does sell locally.

Oh, by the way, it's a 4 speed.

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
