A nice Volkswagen, as you can see. New paint, new panels, for example, the bottom five inches is renewed (three panels, and various other panels, left rear corner, and rockers). As you can see, it's got a new paint job, done by a professional. The paint alone cost $500. Rear pickup bed is painted with bed liner, cost $150. This is not yet a show vehicle. There are quite a few little things to be done. Example, more painting to be done on the inside of the cab, and a good cleanup. I am 81 years old, and I don't feel like doing anymore to this because I put so much money in it. What with buying it, paying a body man, and an engine man (engine been overhauled, runs great). Tires are good, brakes are new, need to be run in. It has a bay window front end, but I still have the original, which the buyer can have for nothing. I also have a refurbished steering column that goes with it. There is a spare wheel, jack. No seatbelts. I think the pictures do it justice, but we should have washed it. I was in a hurry because a young man was putting it on eBay for me. This is a lovely vehicle to go to car shows with and have a great day out. I've had it finished about a year, but have never had the guts to sell it. I wanted to keep it, BUT I am 81 years old, and I don't want to die and leave this behind and have my wife sell it for $500 in a yard sale, so I've decided to list it. If I sell it, I shall miss all the people looking at it when I park it asking what it is, because most people have never seen a crew cab. I'm putting this up for auction. MY PHONE NUMBER IS (541) 563-5363 after 6:00 PM Pacific time. For details, give me a call. Please, no time wasters or wheel kickers. If you haven't got the money, please don't bid. I'll leave the rest up to the pictures.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
