I would not be selling this car, but my wife needs a truck for work, so my pride and joy must go.

My story about this car goes like this:

The summer before last I found this being sold by a collector in Oakland California who purchased it from a another collector who acquired it from the woman

who was the original owner.

The mileage is pretty close to accurate but apparently there were a few months when the woman owned it and the odometer wasn't working, but she had it fixed.

Before I bought it I asked my mechanic if it looked like a low-mileage car to him and he said he definitely thought it was.

The car starts up runs, and drives great. Alignment is right on. It has good power for a little car and feels solid on the road. I've driven it back and forth from LA to San Francisco a couple times along the coast, and those were some of the most enjoyable drives I've ever taken - the car handled the 400 mile trip with ease.

For a while I thought the car was getting hot in traffic because that's what the gauge was telling me, but it stayed cool on long drives and any other type of driving that wasn't stop and go. so I changed the thermostat, the radiator, the water pump, timing belt seals and pulleys, but that didn't fix the problem. My mechanic said the oil temperature stays where it should be, and that's what mattered. So for now it has been concluded that the problem is just with the gauge in the control panel. I had planned to switch that out soon too, but won't have time before the sale. The car has never over heated.

The timing belt and pump were changed just last week. The week before that I did a new K&N air filter, bosch fuel filter and new fuel pump. I also changed the oil pan and gasket to end a small oil leak that was coming from the pan. That took care of it.

The radiator was done last year.

All belts are new.

This car is a completely original, never-molested example of one of Volkswagen's most classic iconic models.

The interior seems to be all original with minor tears on the top of the back seat. Both front seats look great. Carpet seems to

be original and in very good shape - it could just use a little clean. Headliner is new. Absolutely no rust on the body. There are little trim pieces

here and there that could be replaced, but overall a clean example with most everything intact. The rubber bumper guard is ripped

on the rear bumper, but I will include an OEM replacement that I sourced. In addition the driver's side door handle is a little loose, but

operational. I will include a replacement for that as well.

Please write with any questions you may have.

Happy bidding!

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
