hi and thnx ~!~ this car was a recent auction sale and caught my eye. I try to attend estate and donation sales, as you never know what you might find. this car appealed to me because I had the exact same car 10 years ago!! blue, 5 speed, diesel, tan cloth, crank windows, hubcaps and the same clear coat paint issues on the hood and roof. I drove that car till 211,000 miles and trade it for a 1998 Passat, and really loved the car.
this VW does not have low miles (but not too bad), it is not the prettiest, it has only cloth seats that are showing age, but.... it runs great. clean and straight panels, decent rubber, good brakes, horn, wipers, lights, glass, runs strong, great motor, no leaks, tranny fine, clutch fine. around town or at 70 mph on the road, a pleasure to drive. and, as I recall, don't forget about the 45-50 MPG ratings this car and I enjoyed.
but, it is an older car and far from perfect. the radio is an updated KENWOOD cd w remote, the rocker panel on passenger side has a rust spot, the right front fender has a bump and scuff, interior is tan and shows wear and some tear, drivers door panel/handle has a small split, hood and roof paint have typical clear coat peeling (only there), there is one remote and key fob and it is broken so I use just the key.
car runs and drives like a champ. motor is super clean and dry, newer belts and hose, clamps, battery, etc., you can tell at a glance. the car is fine to drive and expect cheap and reliable transportation for now and the future. this is a low eBay priced car and I expect you folks know what is right for you, so no reserve.
please feel free to bid and buy, call or email and or just come by. say hi and take a drive. inspections are welcome anytime. I have sold a dozen cars on eBay recently, and thank you, all is and went well. but, a number of times I am shipping cars or having them picked up. I have a shipping agent I use nearby in Stamford CT. please give me a chance to help you with delivery at no extra cost. thank you >> j. bettes 203.258.33556 .> 800 Clinton ave., Bridgeport, CT 06604

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
