Over-all Condition

For sale is my dad's dependable TDI Beetle. It was my daily driver, but I bought my own car. The bug is awesome! The first owner was a lady. Dad is the second owner and keeps it in great condition. He is an owner/operator trucker and loves his diesels. When we got the bug, Dad mainly used it on the highway on his commute. I've also driven the car quite a bit, and I'm a girl. Dad just put new snow tires on the car around 2,000 miles ago. Miles aren't exact, as it's still being driven here and there, but after all this time it still runs with its ORIGINAL CLUTCH, STRUTS, AND SHOCKS. That's proof that the overall condition of this car is fantastic!

Good Specifics

Leather interior is nearly perfect.
Exterior is in great condition

Serpentine belt replaced at 218,648 miles

Bad Specifics

Normal wear and tear
Leather - tiny cut on the driver seat, and some wear on the driver's seat (pictured) and around the gearshift (pictured).
Exterior - tiny dent on the bottom left side rocker panel I think and a missing inner fender. Some minor chips and scratches. Check out the pictures. It's not bad. I'm just being thorough. One pictured paint chip about the size of a small piece of gravel (pictured)
Gear linkage could use lubrication or something. Sometimes it's hard to shift into first gear.
Shocks and struts work fine, but you may want to replace them for a smoother ride.
It hasn't been a problem lately, but in the interest of full disclosure sometimes a small lever (I forget what it's called, but I'll show you.) in the engine sticks and prevents the car from starting. If you wiggle the lever the car starts right up. If you keep it oiled you should have no problem
Hitch is starting to rust (pictured) but can easily be removed.
AC lost its charge. We have the part to fix it, but Dad wasn't able to do the work.
Headliner is beginning to sag around the console, but not badly. (pictured)
Again, I am NOT a mechanic. I tried to represent the car thoroughly, but please come see it to judge for yourself. (Due to weather, I didn't get all the bug specks, etc off the car before taking pictures. As I said, it is still driven. Please keep that in mind when looking at the pictures.) Thanks, and happy bidding!

2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.

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.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
