For sale is a 1985 Volkswagen Cabriolet Karmann Convertible, with features such as leather Recaro race seats, a shift light, and a bar (fuel pressure) gauge. I greatly enjoy this car. It has been a very fun and reliable vehicle, but, sadly, I can't afford to keep two cars so one has to go. The motor is very strong; I have replaced several parts. I have a few receipts, but I can't find them all, as I originally planned to keep this car. The upside: - The title is clean. - All of the lights work, with the exception of the reverse lights, shift light, and the driver's side marker lights (needs bulb clips). - The motor is flawless, with a compression of 110 psi (which is good). It also does not burn or leak a drop of oil. - The transmission shifts very smoothly and easily, and the oil has recently been replaced. It even has a new shifter ("slant/pivot") ball. - NEW PARTS: As said before, I do have some receipts, but not all. Yet all parts listed still look new. The following parts have been replaced within the last 6 months: - Tires on front (not the rear, but they still look pretty good). - Bosh starter and bosh spark plug wires The down side: - There is a nickel-size rust hole above the rear driver's side taillight, and the bottom of the rear passenger fender is rusted out. Some attention to these spots would make it as good as new. Aside from those two spots, there's only surface rust. The bottom is very solid, no rust holes. - The seats are worn, the driver's seat especially. I threw seat covers over them and they still seat comfortably. - It's missing the a/c knob (which slides left and right). I never tested the a/c. - The convertible top moves great; it repels water but could use some attention. - The odometer no longer works. It stopped at 152,000 miles. Overall, this car has been a lot of fun. I weigh 300lbs, and it has a lot of horse power packed in the small 1.8 liter motor. If driven conservatively, it can average over 40 miles per gallon. It rides smooth and is quite air-tight, even on the freeway. If you have further questions feel free to email me. Just a little restoration and this car will look as fantastic as it drives! If you have any questions, please call before bidding. Call or text 6one6 2one8 5eight6six - no scams please. Payment: A small down payment through paypal and full payment in cash upon pickup. Buyer responsible for shipping - we will help get it on a trailer. But we will not ship it for you or get you a shipper. Shipping is buyers cost. It is for sale locally, I reserve the right to cancel this auction if it sells locally

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
