We bought this car nine years ago for our two daughters to drive in high school and college. It served them very well but now they're both out of school and it's time to serve as economical and dependable transportation for someone else.
The girls put approximately 65,000 reliable miles on the car. The economical diesel engine consistently returned 42-45mpg in city driving and nearly 50mpg on the highway. We have always had it dealer serviced and it never let them down. The tires and brakes are very good. The transmission shifts crisply and the engine starts quickly without excessive smoke. Timing belt and glow plugs done within the last 40,000 miles and receipts for all other service performed. The passenger door power window unit and heater blower are currently not working and will need repair. Also, ABS is intermittent and should be checked. Check engine light and air bag light occasionally send false signals but have been checked and reveal no issues.
We had the black accent paint done to distinguish the car even more. It does show some rock chips on close inspection but it still draws compliments. There is a dent in the right rocker panel but it has sustained no accident damage during the course of our ownership. The paint shows a few small bubbling areas but there is not visible rust. Overall, the car is very presentable for a daily driver. The cloth upholstery is also in good condition with tears or split seams.
This car should have plenty of reliable and economical miles left in it for the next owner. Rather than paying someone to repair the window regulator and heater fan, we chose to price the car very reasonably for a quick sale. It may very well be the best value on an automatic TDI Beetle available today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange a personal inspection and/or test drive (which I encourage). The car is sold with no warranties expressed or implied. Full payment is due within one week of auction's end. I can store it for up to thirty days prior to pick up. Thank you for your interest!

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
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.
