This sweet little bug has been restored and is rust free (including the floor pans). The original owner was a stickler for making sure this car was taken care of... oil changes, engine service, etc. The car's "service history" sits in the glove box... documented in the original manual that came with this car when it was new.
I am the third owner and purchased the car in 2008 from a gentleman who took the car completely apart and restored it to its current state. I have re-badged the car the "spunky monkey" as it starts immediately and runs like a champ.
As you can see, there are quite a few things that make this car stand out. I have yet to take it out and not get the honk... or nostalgic wave from motorists around me. It's very cool when you're sitting at a light and the car beside you rolls down the window to give you props and tell you about their own beetle story. Definitely starts a lot of conversations with "strangers" but that's the fun thing about this car!!!
The Beetle has been a garage kept car - and has recently been sitting idle. Unfortunately, the car is in Cincinnati... and I now live in Fort Lauderdale. This car should be showcased... and driven! FYI - this Beetle won first place in its division at the Volkswagen Club of South Florida car show.
The paint on this car is fantastic. Oh, there may be a few imperfections... but when you wash this car and shine it up - they disappear - behind the overall quality of the paint job. This is a Sun Bug... and it does have a sun roof. Full disclosure... the sun roof needs a new drain plug and does leak in heavy rain. Just haven't gotten around to it - as I generally would only drive the car in good weather.
The speedometer works - but the mileage counter no longer turns miles. The left turn signal doesn't self cancel. An easy fix - just needs a new canceling pin. There is a custom stereo in the car. I've had the headliner completely replaced. The brakes have 200 miles on them. Interior is in good, clean condition.
Folks, this is a 39 year old car that turns heads. With that being said, this car is not perfect (by today's standards) it's actually incredibly primitive. It definitely deserves tender loving care from someone who wants to enjoy the nostalgic memories of the classic Volkswagen Beetle. And for you Beetle aficionados... yes, it still has that unique Volkswagen interior odor that as soon as you smell it - brings back amazing VW memories.
Obviously, I am selling this car as is.

Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
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.
