I would not be selling this car, but my wife needs a truck for work, so my pride and joy must go. 

My story about this car goes like this:

The summer before last I found this being sold by a collector in Oakland California who purchased it from a another collector who acquired it from the woman 
who was the original owner. 

The mileage is pretty close to accurate but apparently there were a few months when the woman owned it and the odometer wasn't working, but she had it fixed.
Before I bought it I asked my mechanic if it looked like a low-mileage car to him and he said he definitely thought it was. 

The car starts up runs, and drives great. Alignment is right on. It has good power for a little car and feels solid on the road. I've driven it back and forth from LA to San Francisco a couple times along the coast, and those were some of the most enjoyable drives I've ever taken - the car handled the 400 mile trip with ease. 

For a while I thought the car was getting hot in traffic because that's what the gauge was telling me, but it stayed cool on long drives and any other type of driving that wasn't stop and go. so I changed the thermostat, the radiator, the water pump, timing belt seals and pulleys, but that didn't fix the problem. My mechanic said the oil temperature stays where it should be, and that's what mattered. So for now it has been concluded that the problem is just with the gauge in the control panel. I had planned to switch that out soon too, but won't have time before the sale. The car has never over heated.

The timing belt and pump were changed just last week. The week before that I did a new K&N air filter, bosch fuel filter and new fuel pump. I also changed the oil pan and gasket to end a small oil leak that was coming from the pan. That took care of it. 

The radiator was done last year. 

All belts are new. 

This car is a completely original, never-molested example of one of Volkswagen's most classic iconic models. 

The interior seems to be all original with minor tears on the top of the back seat. Both front seats look great. Carpet seems to 
be original and in very good shape - it could just use a little clean. Headliner is new. Absolutely no rust on the body. There are little trim pieces 
here and there that could be replaced, but overall a clean example with most everything intact. The rubber bumper guard is ripped
on the rear bumper, but I will include an OEM replacement that I sourced. In addition the driver's side door handle is a little loose, but
operational. I will include a replacement for that as well. 

Please write with any questions you may have.

Happy bidding!

Even 'basic' girls are tired of their cheating VW Jettas

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Well, this didn't take long. Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn's office probably hasn't even been packed yet, and the jokes about his scandal-ridden former employer have already begun to fly. Today, we'll be featuring the team from Funny Or Die, which has opted to not only skewer Volkswagen for its TDIsaster, but one of the victims of the company's catastrophe – the 'basic' girl. For those not in the know, "basic," according to Urban Dictionary is an adjective reserved for someone "devoid of defining characteristics that might make a person interesting, extraordinary, or just simply worth devoting time or attention to," and that they are "lacking intelligence and unable to socialize on even an elementary level." And when it comes to basic girls, the Volkswagen Jetta is as ubiquitous as a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. But with the VW controversy, basic girls are finding their Jettas aren't so good for their green credentials. So check out Funny Or Die's take on these scorned drivers, in the video above. And fair warning, there's a bit of foul language.

Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations

Fri, May 1 2015

Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling – to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.
