2001 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo 2-door 1.8l Red - Low Miles! on 2040-cars
Jackson, Wyoming, United States
|
Do the yellow fake flowers I bought at Dollar Tree come with it? YES. ;) This car runs great, I bought it years ago to use in my mobile windshield repair business. I am a big buffed/fat/tall dude, and it was a great attention grabber to see a guy my size get out of this car. I am 6'2" and over 250 pounds and I fit nicely in the car, even though I can barely squeeze into a Toyota 4-Runner. I sold the windshield repair business and now use a van for our new business, so I don't really need a sexy sports car until a few years ahead when I have my mid-life crisis. It runs great, looks great and is a fast & fun car. I know it probably sounds too good to be true that the mileage is only 68k, but it is true! (I might put a few more miles on it by the time you win it, but not many) The fact that you found this car is clearly proof that good things happen to good people who like to drive fast. :) I even loaned this car to my pal and fellow shooting instructor Terry Vaughan, the Top Shot reality TV star and author of The Dad's Guide to Screening His Daughter's Boyfriends. Terry isn't as famous as Elvis, but still... it would suit me fine if you added a ton of money to your bids because it has been driven by a celebrity! ;) When I have had little issues, I always take it right down to my awesome mechanics at Able Auto 307-739-8960 and they "fix it up right." I have only owned it for the last 4 years and 15k miles, but during that time it has had oil changes every 3,000 miles. The guys at Able Auto are friends, so I don't expect you to trust them to tell you honestly what they think of this car, but I actually warned Jay at Able Auto that folks might call and ask about it. I asked him to be honest and frank about what he knows about it. If you want to hire a different mechanic in the 83001 zip code to check it out, I would be happy to drop it off with them for the day. I won't tell you how I know this because I have the right not to self-incriminate, but trust me when I say that it does not have a governor at least up to 115MPH. I generally drive it around slowly and responsibly like a guy that does not want to get hassled by his former partners at the Jackson Police Department, but it might have been over 100MPH twice and handled well at that speed. I would be happy to meet you at the airport as long as you will agree to give me a ride back to my house in your awesome red VW Slug Bug! What questions do you have? :) |

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
