  Up for auction today is a 1987 VW Jetta GLI Turbo Diesel. I bought this car from a friend who has owned it for the last 5 years, but he took it to a oil change place and they did not put the filter back on right, and her blew the motor. The oil change place paid him but not enough to fix this car so I bought it from him. I did not want to try and rebuild his motor, so I took a 1.6 turbo diesel I bought and put it in. The engine was rebuilt from the ground up with all new internal parts. The new engine has about 1500 miles on it, it runs beautiful, and gets 47-52 MPG. I really like this care, but I need something that is a little more utility oriented. The car is in great condition, and gets a ton of VW people asking questions. I am going to list the good on this car, then the bad.
1. New rebuilt engine. Rebuild entails new main bearing, rod bearings, intermediate shaft bearing, engine seals, connecting rod, oil pump,     gaskets, head bolts, cam, valves, timing belt, glow plugs, rebuilt injectors
2. Rebuilt injection pump.
3. Rebuilt turbo 20K ago.
4. New alternator 20k ago.
5. New clutch, flywheel, pressure plate
6. New battey
7. New CV shaft 8k ago.
8. New front brakes 5k ago.
9. New euro grill and head lights.
9. Racaro trophy seats.
10 Beautiful headliner.
11. Nice carpets.
12. New CD player with ipod in.
13. Teardrop wheels with tire 70% good.
14. GLI body package.

3. Front seats have some cracks but no holes.
4. Cruise control not working.

6. One mark on hood where some one painted it. See pictures.
 I have done a honest and fare accounting on this car to the best of My ability. This is a great car that is sure to give many more years of great service. I would feel safe driving this car 1000 plus mile on a trip or as a daily commuter. It is car is not perfect, but you would be hard pressed to find one in this nice of a condition. This is your chance to get your hands on a beautiful car that will be hard to find later.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013


Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
