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). - Ignition coil - Bosh starter and bosh spark plug wires - Oil Pressure Sensor - Clutch (clutch, clutch rod, shift bushings) - CV axles (drive axles) both Left and Right - Front Shocks and Struts (and strut/shock tower bushings) - Distributor - CD Player/AM FM radio (after market) - Speedometer cable - Brake calipers, both Left and Right (not break pads, but they were fine) - Exhaust, with the exception of a catalytic converter 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.
