Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Does not run, needs new ECU and possibly a fuel injector or two. Has brand new head gaskets, does not leak when running. Missing deck lid, a better one can be custom made from plywood and sound deadening foam, something you would have to do for most engine conversions anyway. Carpet is intact but shows its age. There is one (shopping cart?) ding on the driver side, it is small and round, and can easily be removed. No hubcaps."

Condition: Not running. Builder or project. Body is great, barely any minor surface rust at all, paint intact, straight, only one minor dent on driver side. Glass is all intact and clean, no cracks. Undercarriage free of rust. Has 4 almost new BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A tires, no dry rot on tires. Interior complete, has all seats, has original carpet. Seats and carpets show their age, but are not damaged structurally. Has 2 good Pioneer door speakers and working Jensen 2 x 40 amplifier, but no stereo (it is junk). Dash is clean, not cracked, and not dry rotted. Headliner perfect and intact. Has new sway bar link, hard to find now. Has 4 new OEM shocks that have not been installed, still NIB. Has an entire extra engine and fuel injection parts, engine needs head gasket but block is intact. Syncro is among the rarest of the rare now, they are being cannibalized for parts, finding a clean, complete builder with good transmission, viscous coupling, locker, diff, and driveshaft is tough to do, here is your chance. The engine in it runs, it just needs time to be worked on, something I just don't have. With a battery, the engine cranks fine, and will even sputter and run a bit sometimes, though not well, as it really does need some testing and work. This is a chance to earn a one of a kind vehicle that is considered a collector's item. It is a prime candidate for an engine conversion (anything from mild to wild), and can be made to run as is. This is a VERY capable off road vehicle, google "vanagon syncro offroad" for some idea of what it can do. This is a cult classic vehicle made of solid German steel. It is sturdy, well-engineered, and years ahead of its time. This is a great price for a vehicle you simply can't find now. There are never more than a few for sale anywhere in the country.

Volkswagen incorporating gesture control into updated Golf

Tue, May 26 2015

For many, the Volkswagen Golf is the epitome of the accessible mode of transportation. It is the "People's Car," after all. Yet in its next iteration, it's slated to get some trick high-end tech on board. Speaking with Auto Express, VW powertrain chief Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser revealed that the upcoming facelifted Golf will include gesture control technology. "The interior features a preview of future VW interior technologies, with smartphone applications redefined for automotive use," Neusser told AE. "The gesture control will become reality in the Golf at the end of next year." The feature is being rolled out by other automakers on decidedly more upscale offerings (like the next-gen BMW 7 Series), but look poised to democratize the technology on the far more accessible Golf as soon as next year when the updated model arrives. VW demonstrated the tech at CES with the Golf R Touch concept, which is making an encore appearance at CES Asia in Shanghai this week, where Neusser confirmed the features are slated for production. The VW Golf R Touch concept incorporated a trio of oversized infotainment displays measuring 12.8, 12.3 and 8 inches, as well as gesture-control technology and all the latest smartphone connectivity standards – including Microsoft MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Google's Android Auto.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%

Wed, Jan 13 2021

FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. Â“The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,Â” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. Â“The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
