 Thank you for taking a look at this great little bug. I'm selling this for my parents. They used it as a towed behind their RV and still has the tow package (lights, towbar, bra) if you care to use it. They got it in a trade 3-4 years ago.

 Its mechanically sound top to bottom front to rear.
-The previous owner said it was an 1835 engine. We have not verified this.
-It has dual Solex carbs and runs great with plenty of power for safe highway driving.
-No issues with the steering, brakes, transmission, engine, or electrical.
-I did notice the key had to be "wiggled" sometimes to engage right.
-Excellent tires.

 The baby blue paint shines great but has a few blems upon close inspection. The RF fender has a small creased spot (hardly visible), so does the front bumper. Both have minor pitting.. The aluminum trim is in great shape, body rubbers look new, it has a deck lid from a convertible for additional cooling capacity.

  No rust issues or cobbled up previous repairs.

  Really clean interior, retains the rear popout windows, front windows roll up and down no problems. The headliner has some minor discolor.

  Rare vintage Empi GT wood steering wheel

  This is a nice restoration on a car that was good to start with.

 Please contact me with any questions before bidding. $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction end. We will assist with shipping logistics but it is buyer's responsibility.

 

Cash or certified funds please. If using paypal there will be an extra percentage charged on top of final price.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen 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 Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
