hello this a Mexican thing with a 1600 motor. it is the original motor with only 62,500 miles. I bought it from an old fellow who parked it in1990, in his garage, because it started running funny. I bought it and fixed it. the choke was sticking. now it runs great, whistles like a vw should. I put a new gas tank in it, new tires, and a new top. it is ready to go. no rust in the trunk area, or engine compartment. windshield frame is perfect, windshield has a stone chip. doors are solid, not perfect but very good. the pass. side front fender has a small dent where bumper took a light tap. seats are good, lights work, brakes are good. top is alittle tight yet needs to sit out in sun shine to stretch alittle more. it will latch but it is tight. floor pan was patched under battery, and one or two smalls holes I it. but still nice. I will try to show the holes in the pictures. you can drive it home. have the tops of the doors. they are not torn, but the plastic is alittle scratched and slightly yellowed. the body is good some rust here and there, I will try to show in picts. there is a patch under the rear seat by battery in fender well. over all it is in decent shape for its age. looks good but not perfect. runs great . doors come off and windshield folds down like a jeep. good daily driver, beach cruiser, or trail buggy. has a good ohio title. and sells without resevrve. feel free to contact me if you want to come look at it, or want a close up picture of any thing. thanks and have a good one. p.s. having alittle trouble with the pass side top latch I believe do to the top not being relaxed enough yet.

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.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
