1976 California Beetle Fuel Injected Convertible, Low Miles Yellow, Drives Nice! on 2040-cars
Cicero, Indiana, United States
1976 Beetle Convertible 84,300 mile
This is a documented California car with low milage, it appears to be a 2 owner. We have a lot of receipts going back to 1998 . The beetle still retains its California smog equipment including the catilictic converter.(probably needs to be removed) This beetle runs really well and shifts like a beetle should. You have to give it 3 or 4 minutes to warm up at an idle, I am told that a simple fix for this is a $70 pre ignition part but it never bothered my wife or me. Paint is about 10 years old according to the receipt and looks very presentable, It is not perfect but then this car needs to driven to shows. The sills and inside of the doors, trunk and motor appear to be original paint and nicks and scratches have been touched up. Looks have newer interior running boards and carpet. Top will need replaced if you plan on using it up all the time. It has a patch I have included the picture , This hole was from being down up against the steel top all the time. We never put it up and it appears neither did the previous owner. We have VW books for the car including the owners pamphlet. Tires and brakes show about 2 years of age but only 1000 miles according to the receipts. Doesn't have the usual shake at 50 , wife has had it up to 70 and it cruises nice at 55 to 60 MPH. We drive this car and it gets a lot of attention everywhere we go, especially at show and shines or cruises. It is easy on gas and we are selling as a # 3 condition driver. It is a little better than that but use that as a pricing guide. Thank you and if you win this car enjoy and drive it! |

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.

But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
