You will get the car but not the contents, except that you will get door cards and back seat/storage cover, fragments of driver's window, six quarts of synthetic blend diesel engine oil and a new oil filter in the box.  If you wish, you will get a few kind words.

Transporting this car from where it is to where you want it to be will be your responsibility.   I will help a little with phone calls and things like that.  Whomever you are, you will get $150 USD, CASH BACK.  Deals like these are hard to equal and impossible to beat.  This opportunity is remarkable.  On top of that, I will entertain, but not necessarily accept, your best offer.

Tell your friends. 

T-boned in driver's door and back quarter; left rear wheel disabled.  Around 12,000 miles on first-class engine rebuild that cost over $3M; has attained 48 mpg on road. Would cruise easily at 75-80 mph, but it wouldn't get 48 mpg doing that. Low to middle 40's in mixed driving.  Does not mark its territory with oil drops.  Has block heater, which I did not use this winter.  Starts easily in 20 degree weather on glow plugs.  

Parts Place in Michigan will sell you a long block without accessories for a bundle, they also sell heads.   This engine has one of their heads, and I can tell you they are good.  Majorly good. Parts Place says most shops screw up VW heads, and I have to agree.  The first shop (a productions head rebuilder) screwed up my head; it blew a gasket.  VW Diesel head gaskets are not cheap.   Heads either.

I have had this car for about ten years.  Spent a ton of money repairing/replacing loads of parts in last three yr. Details on request. Spent a young fortune making it shift right and always find the right gear.   Replaced main shift rod, and those are not easy to get (NLA from Volkswagen), but it makes the car go into reverse when you want it to.   Windshield wiper motor stripped out drive gear; it turns but it doesn't wipe.  Junk radio.  Heater seems weak, but it does work at least some.

Nearly new tires; tire on disabled wheel is holding air.  All glass good except driver's window, which is in one million pieces.   You get the pieces.   No important rust damage.   I even replaced the battery tray $$$.

Car is nearly perfect mechanical donor. Has Optima battery. New radiator with the overhaul.   Old one started leaking when rebuilt engine fired first time. Curses.  

I hate to see it just go to crusher with no parts, particularly the engine, saved.  I have tried to find a sound derelict unibody with no luck.  Ask any question you wish.   You may inspect all you desire and see/hear it start/run before closing.   If you have been around these cars, you know that odometers fail.  Actual mileage believed to be astronomic; I have replaced odometer three times.   May have Texas Salvage Title by time sold. 

I will refund you $150 against your shipping cost, if it is large, small, or essentially zero.  What a deal.   If you arrive with a trailer, I'll give you $150 back out of what you paid.   If you arrive with a dolly or a flatbed, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid.  If your transport company arrives, I will refund $150 to you out of what you paid.  If you live down the street from me and I just don't know it, I will give you $150 back out of what you paid.  

I did the best I could with the pictures.   I promise you the car is not sideways. What else is there to say, except this is a hell of a good deal for the right person?  One more thing: It's also for sale in other venues, and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time.   So get in here and bid !!

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013


The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
