I'm selling this vehicle for a friend. I have been told this car would be a great vehicle to sell on Ebay.
I came from Europe and we always had diesels because of their reliability and fuel economy. /the fuel is very expensive overseas!/ Unfortunately it is very hard to find small diesel pick up trucks in the USA. Well here is one for sale! The truck served Him well but He recently purchased a tdi jetta, so this one needs to find a new home. About the car; - The previous owner was a 75 year old gentleman. He owned the truck for 20 years! The truck runs and drives great but if you are looking for a race horse this is not for you! The engine cranks easy. No smoke,no strange noises. The glow plugs work fine. The clutch feels good. The fuel injection pump was rebuilt at 165K miles! New battery with warranty. The past 10 years the following works have been done to the truck; -Timing belt and belt tension pulley 125 K - Right side engine mount -Camshaft oil seal -Crankshaft oil seal - Valve cover gasket kit -intermediate shaft oil seal with o-ring -driver side inner CV boot -clutch redone -rear brake shoes and wheel cylinder -Front rotors and brake pads -R & R parking brake cables -fuel filter - oil + oil filter 5 W40 Rotella synthetic -Set of tires -wipers -exhaust The 5 spd transmission shifts fine.The tires are almost new, they're about 85% ! The heater works fine. No AC, though, it didn't come with one. The body is solid. Small rust spots behind the seats. Drives straight,the brakes feel good. The lights,wipers work great. The horn does not work. No radio. The interior is clean but the seats need some seat covers. We drive it almost every day and it gets around 45-50 MPG !! The vehicle located in Fairhope, AL. Good luck and happy bidding! (More pics coming soon!) |

Cost-cutting measures put VW Beetle in jeopardy
Tue, Mar 10 2015Volkswagen is on a mission to cut costs. That means producing more models across its various brands based on the same platforms and powertrains, but the latest word from Germany has it that it will also mean cutting some of the VW brand's less successful models. First on the chopping block, according to German publication Der Spiegel, is the three-door version of the Polo, which will reportedly cede its place to the five-door version exclusively. The elimination of that model alone is said to save VW a good 200 million euros, putting it on its way towards reducing the brand's costs by a targeted five billion euros. The Polo isn't the only one in danger, though. The Eos, as we know, is not due to be replaced, but the future of the Beetle could be in jeopardy as well. The Beetle may be one of VW's most iconic models, but is hardly its most successful in terms of sales. With the 2014 annual report due to be released shortly, the last full-year sales figures had Volkswagen selling 109,517 Beetles in 2013. That may be more than four times the number of Scirocco models it sold, but hardly puts a dent in the 871,413 Jettas, 824,629 Golfs and 725,291 Polos it sold during the same year.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
