1974 Superbeetle Convertible on 2040-cars
Menlo Park, California, United States

My dear buggy is up for sale -- I just have too many projects going on. She starts up every time, and runs very smooth -- I use her as my daily driver during the dry months. Always parked in the garage, and regularly maintained, mostly by The Buggy House in Hayward.
Not the original engine, nor the original color. New engine has about 8,500 miles on it. Odometer reads 49,536 because it's limited to 5 digits, but almost certainly has wrapped around once before, which is why it's listed as 149,536. Brand new bluetooth stereo with subwoofer is loud enough to hear your music with the top down on the highway. 1600cc engine will gladly do 70mph, and gets great gas mileage to boot (~35mpg, with mixed driving). Clutch and 4 speed manual shift smooth. Front lights upgraded to self-leveling Xenons, so you can actually see where you're going at night. Brand new battery has about twenty drives under its belt; also has a new fuel pump and injector. Interior is in great condition: seats are spotless, new door panels still shine, and relatively new carpet kit make this car a pleasure to drive. The top is in medium condition, and doesn't leak. The body is in OK condition, couple dents, and the paint could use a little love. A little investment would make this buggy a real head-turner. 1974 model year is smog exempt, so none of those headaches involved. Mechanically she's very strong and reliable. She does drip a little oil, but does not burn it. I would really like her to go to a good home that appreciates her as much as I do. Previous owner had her for 10 years, and felt similarly. Lots of spare parts included as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will cancel any bids from those who have less than 5 feedback unless you write me first. I'm happy to ship her anywhere, but buyer pays for shipping. If you want to see her in person, I am more than happy to facilitate that, and would be willing to meet you anywhere between San Mateo and Mountain View. |

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
