Do the yellow fake flowers I bought at Dollar Tree come with it?  YES.  ;)

This car runs great, I bought it years ago to use in my mobile windshield repair business.  I am a big buffed/fat/tall dude, and it was a great attention grabber to see a guy my size get out of this car.  I am 6'2" and over 250 pounds and I fit nicely in the car, even though I can barely squeeze into a Toyota 4-Runner.  I sold the windshield repair business and now use a van for our new business, so I don't really need a sexy sports car until a few years ahead when I have my mid-life crisis.  It runs great, looks great and is a fast & fun car.  

I know it probably sounds too good to be true that the mileage is only 68k, but it is true!  (I might put a few more miles on it by the time you win it, but not many)  The fact that you found this car is clearly proof that good things happen to good people who like to drive fast.  :)  

I even loaned this car to my pal and fellow shooting instructor Terry Vaughan, the Top Shot reality TV star and author of The Dad's Guide to Screening His Daughter's Boyfriends.  
Terry isn't as famous as Elvis, but still... it would suit me fine if you added a ton of money to your bids because it has been driven by a celebrity!  ;)

When I have had little issues, I always take it right down to my awesome mechanics at Able Auto 307-739-8960 and they "fix it up right."  I have only owned it for the last 4 years and 15k miles, but during that time it has had oil changes every 3,000 miles.  The guys at Able Auto are friends, so I don't expect you to trust them to tell you honestly what they think of this car, but I actually warned Jay at Able Auto that folks might call and ask about it.  I asked him to be honest and frank about what he knows about it.  If you want to hire a different mechanic in the 83001 zip code to check it out, I would be happy to drop it off with them for the day.  

I won't tell you how I know this because I have the right not to self-incriminate, but trust me when I say that it does not have a governor at least up to 115MPH.  I generally drive it around slowly and responsibly like a guy that does not want to get hassled by his former partners at the Jackson Police Department, but it might have been over 100MPH twice and handled well at that speed.

I would be happy to meet you at the airport as long as you will agree to give me a ride back to my house in your awesome red VW Slug Bug!

What questions do you have?  :)

2015 VW Golf SportWagen priced from $21,395*

Thu, Feb 12 2015

Now known as the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen in the US, the long-roof version of the platform gets larger for its new generation in 2015, but it also sheds up to 137 pounds and cuts some money off the price of some models. The base now begins at $21,395, plus $820 destination on all versions, when they arrive at dealers in April. Volkswagen claims that with all of the extra standard content, buyers actually save $700 compared to the previous-gen Jetta SportWagen, despite its lower $20,995 starting price. The S trim is the least expensive model and comes with a five-speed manual and 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 170 horsepower. Paying an extra $1,100 adds a six-speed automatic. The SE for $26,995 gets the auto as standard and also includes a panoramic sunroof, front foglights, push-button start and a rearview camera. The top SEL for $29,345 further features chrome roof rails, navigation, a 12-way power driver's seat and more. In addition to the gas engine, buyers can choose the 2.0-liter TDI with 150 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque, and VW quotes EPA estimates of up to 43 miles per gallon highway fuel economy for it. All of the trims with the oil burner come with a six-speed manual, but a six-speed DSG is a $1,100 extra. The base TDI S trim starts at $24,595, which is nearly $2,000 less than the last-gen Jetta SportWagen with a diesel, and buyers also get standard push-button start and a rearview camera. The SE and SEL trims offer similar upgrades as their gasoline counterparts and ring up for $27,995 and $30,345, respectively. Of course, many buyers want extra tech for their cars, and VW is offering two packages of options for the SE and SEL trims with either engine. One adds collision warning, automatic post-collision braking and front and rear parking sensors for $695. The Lighting Package includes adaptive Bi-Xenon headlights, LED running lights and LED interior lighting for $995. VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES PRICING OF 2015 GOLF SPORTWAGEN ?

VW will reportedly offer cash to cheated diesel car drivers

Sun, Nov 8 2015

If you're feeling burned by Volkswagen's decision to cheat on diesel emissions tests, you might get some compensation for your troubles. Sources for The Truth About Cars understand that VW will launch a "TDI Goodwill Program" that compensates diesel car drivers with cash in the form of prepaid cards. In the US, you'd get both a $500 universal card as well as a VW-only card worth $500 to $750. The automaker isn't confirming details just yet, but it tells the New York Times that it's planning an announcement on Monday. Dealers also tell the newspaper that they're aware of a program in the works, although they don't know the specifics. It may not include the expanded range of cars reportedly tainted by the scandal, though, since VW is denying claims that it cheated with some models. This isn't the only olive branch VW has been offering: it's been handing out deals to existing owners willing to hop into new vehicles, and there are more discounts than usual across the board. However, the goodwill effort would represent the first instance of VW directly compensating drivers who'd previously thought they were getting an eco-friendly machine. This isn't going to make up for years of unnecessary pollution, but it may represent the company's best hope of holding on to customers.
