Just in time for summer!! You are bidding on our family-owned 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet. We have had this car for about 16 years. It belong to my aunt and then I purchased it from her. I have done many upgrades to the car. I have replaced the convertible canvas top. I had repainted it to Porsche guards- red. I added headers and a Techtonic exhaust system. It's a quick little car. I have also replaced the motor and radiator two years ago. The motor is still a stock 8v 1.8 L engine. I have only used premium fuel as well. The steering wheel has been upgraded to a Momo (pictured). The interior including the seats and carpet have all been refurbished as well. The seat covers on all the cars accustomed to match the paint and rims, obviously. Since we have redone the car, it has always been parked in the garage. There is no rust anywhere on the car in the body is bone-straight. It has never been in an accident. In the past 6-7 years, it is never been driven in the rain or snow. Most of the mechanical and cosmetic upgrades have been done in the past 6-7 years but, it is still a work in progress. The rims and tires are like new-they have maybe 2000 miles on them total. I have the original rims and tires and they will convey with the car (must be taken - I need the room!) Additionally, I had to have the speedometer replaced because the original one stopped working @ 157k. Although the odometer reads 110K, the motor, clutch and exhaust have less than 4k miles on them. The radio has been upgraded. It is iPod ready. The a/c and heat also work perfectly.
Mechanical issues: You will need a new battery or to recharge the current one. It has sat for over a year in the garage. It took a while for me to jump it, but it does start and run well. The steering column needs a bracket. The car handles great but you can hear a "bump" when making tight turns. The horn doesn't work. It needs a relay fan switch. While driving, the car runs great, when stopped, the fan doesn't turn on and it may overheat. The fan works, but the relay switch does not. The hose that runs from the antifreeze reservoir to the radiator needs to be replaced. The rubber around the windows needs to be replaced as well. The top doesn't leak but water will get in from the window jams (be careful when washing.) This has never been an issue for me, as I have kept it out of the elements during my ownership. My family and I have had a lot of great memories with the "Red Baron." It has only been a spring and summer car for us and we will miss it greatly, but it is time to move on. Hopefully you will give it the same amount of love and attention that we have. This vehicle is being
offered for sale “AS-IS” because of year and miles. If you are new to Ebay or if you have fewer
than 4 transactions, please contact me prior to bidding for approval to bid or
I will cancel your bid immediately.
There is a $125 documentation fee in addition to the final selling
price. A $500 non-refundable deposit is
required via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Transaction must be
completed within 7 days of auction end (full payment and pick-up arrangements
at least). I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as
possible. Once purchased, this car can
be driven anywhere in the country without issue. For those of you who are not
local, BWI is the closest airport to my location. Contact me via email with any questions.
Please bid with confidence and good luck. |

Here’s how 20 popular EVs fared in cold-weather testing in Norway
Sat, Mar 21 2020Electric vehicles are known to suffer diminished performance in cold weather, but some do a better job than others hanging onto their range capacity while cabin heaters and frigid outdoor temperatures sap power from their batteries. Recently, the Norwegian Automobile Federation put the 20 of the best-selling battery-electric vehicles in the country to the test, to see not only how winter weather affected their range but also their charging times. The major findings: On average, electric vehicles lost 18.5% of their official driving range as determined by the European WLTP cycle. Electric vehicles also charge more slowly in cold temperatures. And interestingly, the researchers learned that EVs don’t simply shut down when they lose power but instead deliver a series of warnings to the driver, with driving comfort and speed levels maintained until the very last few miles. Because itÂ’s Norway, the worldÂ’s top market for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles by market share, the test included many EVs that arenÂ’t available here in the U.S. But there are many familiar faces, among them the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Models S, 3 and X, Hyundai Kona (known here as the Kona Electric) and Ioniq, and Audi E-Tron. In terms of range, the top-performing EV was the Hyundai Kona, which lost only 9% of its official range, which the WTLP rated at 449 kilometers, or 279 miles, compared to its EPA-rated range of 258 miles on a full charge. It delivered 405 km, just enough to nudge it ahead of the Tesla Model 3, which returned 404 km. Other top performers included the Audi E-Tron, in both its 50 Quattro (13% lower range) and higher-powered 55 Quattro (14% lower) guises; the Hyundai Ioniq (10% lower); and Volkswagen e-Golf (11% lower). At 610 km (379 miles) the Tesla Model S has the longest WLTP range of all models tested and went the furthest, but still lost 23% of its range, though it also encountered energy-sapping heavy snow at the end of its test, when many cars had dropped out. The Model 3 lost 28% of its range. The worst performer? That goes to the Opel Ampera-e, better known stateside as the Chevrolet Bolt. It traveled 297 km (about 184 miles) in the test, which was nearly 30% lower than its stated WLTP range. We should also note that Opel, now owned by Groupe PSA, is phasing the car out in Europe and that Chevy recently upgraded the Bolt here in the U.S.
Volkswagen Tiguan tunes up for Frankfurt show
Fri, Jun 12 2015Volkswagen is in the phase of testing where it's simply beating the crap out of the next-generation Tiguan. The German manufacturer is conducting high-altitude towing tests in the Alps of mules wearing the production-ready body of its second-gen compact CUV. This is the first time we've seen the Tiguan in its production body, and despite the ample camouflage, the resemblance to not only the Passat sedan, but the Cross Coupe GTE and CrossBlue concepts, is clear. That's particularly true based on what we can see of the new Tiguan's grille and headlight treatment. In back, the Tiguan will adopt a more sporting roofline, particularly in the aggressive rake of the D-pillar. It's significantly different than the current car, and frankly, that's no bad thing. Expect the usual array of gas and diesel four cylinders with both front- and all-wheel drive on offer. On the high end, meanwhile, our spies claim a 300-horsepower R model could eventually be added to the range. Aside from its new look, future variants could see the crossover spawn both a long-wheelbase version and a coupe-like model. That said, we're wondering how a long-wheelbase Tiguan would fit into the VW range alongside the long-rumored, American-built, three-rower. According to our spies, though, neither one of those vehicles would arrive until well after the vehicle shown above debuts. As for when we can expect to see the second-gen Tiguan, our spies point to September's Frankfurt Motor Show. Be sure to check back then.
