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 Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
