I have for sale a beautiful 1974 Volkswagon SuperBeetle.
-Very clean
-Runs beautifully
-Original Style Rims
-Original flip out side windows
-Brand new Kumho tires, less than 500 miles ago. I would say that they have at least 95% of tread left. It also comes with a spare tire without about 60-70% tread left. The only problem is that the rim will not allow it to hold air, so a new rim would be needed for the spare.
-Original radio is included, but does not work. I have a new radio in it, but it is a bit loose because I did not want to cut up the dash in order to fit it. It does not fall out while driving or anything. The radio has an AUX plug and comes with a AUX cable. Currently I have it wired for four speakers, one under the driver and passenger seat and two in the back. The car will come without the back speakers because they were a gift from a family friend, but the wiring will still be there and you will only have to hook up your own two speakers.
-Recently rebuilt carb and service from local VW Bug specialist.
-New electronic ignition distributor with vacuum.
-Original air filter

-Brand New Starter
-Has working fresh air blowers for cabin

This is a nice california car, and has very limited rust. The only rust spots are in the passenger door where there are a couple small spots where it rusted through (See Pictures). Underneath the body is solid, there was rust under the battery box which is very typical, but it was fixed. The running boards also have some light surface rust. The heater system is not connected but the heater boxes are there and would only need to be hooked up.

The car has had a recent complete carburetor rebuild. This is due to the fact that there was a small fire in the engine compartment. I had put some fuel in the carb to prime it one time, but there was too much. I had a fire extinguisher there and quickly put out the fire. After that I brought it over to the shop and had him completely rebuild the carburetor and check up everything. Everything is now completely mechanically sound and the only thing that remains is a little burnt paint on the deck lid (See Pictures).

This car drives great and still has the original interior. All the seats are original and because of this there is a little wear and tear on the back seat from sun damage (See Pictures). The previous owner also put on a dashboard cover. She also drips a few oil drops once in a while, like almost all of these older bugs do. The car comes with the original blue california license plates and with registration paid until September of this year. Another benefit of this car is that it's a Super Beetle and therefore the trunk in the front has quite a bit more room. This is an absolutely fantastic car and gets lots of looks and questions whenever I drive it.

The buyer is responsible for pickup or transport.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac 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.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
