I've had this one for about a year, it's been a great driver. since it's been warm I've been driving it every day again. Located in Salt Lake City, UT

needs:
-little bit leaky out of the oil pan, I figure whatever though, it's a MKI that's the only real problem at this point.

good stuff:
new front outer CV boots when I bought it. new thermostatic fan switch. everything else is fine as far as I can tell. it looks good, it's dirty inside but h4s are cool, I have a front bumper for it, thumbs up all around except that drippy pan listed above. comes with a spiffy front valence, a strut tower support bar (full race truck!!), sits on racelands and drop plates, I think I have another set of drop plates that bring it up a little too. tires are fine. starts every time I try as long as the cold start is pulled and sometimes I have to give it a little throttle on the first start, then it's fine all day.

it's been a really handy truck and a great commuter and work truck for fixing up my house. I bought a tacoma though so now I don't need it for anything.

no rust on the strut towers at all, only rust is in the bed, with only one small rust hole on the right rear fender.

this also comes with an extra engine for it that needs rebuilding but it also comes with a turbo kit with a banged up downpipe and the oil lines all done on it. looks like it'll need a hone, rings, and head work. i was going to drive it while building that engine for it this spring but I'm going back to school and moving out of town in a few months so I need to get rid of my projects.

also comes with a vac. pump rebuild kit and a new thermostat, these parts were acting up in the cold of winter when I drove it a couple times, but I switched the vac pump with a good used one, and the thermostat seems to be working fine now.

when in doubt, ask before you bid. I did my best to describe the truck here. if you bid, you are committed to buying the truck. i will help load the truck to the best of my abilities but I will not arrange shipping for you. $500 deposit due via paypal within 24 hours of auction close, balance due in cash or bank check only within 7 days, car must be gone within 7 days of auction close.

Tanner Foust drifts in with new VW Passat [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Tanner Foust, like many drifting and rallycross names, may have had a long track record with Ford, campaigning Blue Oval drifters in Formula D, the X Games and the Global RallyCross Championship. He won a few medals with Nissan too. But these days he's all about the Volkswagens. He drives a Beetle in the aforementioned GRC, but is now set to return to Formula Drift with the Passat you see here. The Top Gear USA co-host's new ride is ostensibly based on the German sedan we all know, but instead of a 1.8 turbo, a V6, a TDI or even a W8, this one packs a 7.4-liter V8. That mammoth mill sends about 700 horsepower to the rear wheels through a four-speed transmission, but will churn out a good 900 hp on nitrous. In short, it should be better suited towards drifting than the Passat 4Motion this writer tried to slide so many times in his youth. The beast is sponsored once again by Rockstar Energy, and we're looking forward to watching Tanner use it to try and retake the titles he won in 2007 and 2008.

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.

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
