Star, North Carolina, United States


Here's the story. Bought this as a surprise graduation gift. The giftee said it doesn't have A/C, I said put the top down. She said it will mess up my hair. Took her shopping, she picked out a air conditioned Mustang. Now I have a VW, Bug, Super Beetle for sale. Bought locally from an individual. They told me a few years ago that the interior had been redone, the motor was replaced with a new Scat 1766cc long block at 96,000 miles. Speedometer reads 06,400 today. The top and headliner appear to be in good shape too, no rips or tears and car has had a re-paint. The car looks good for it's age and drives great, the tires have about 80% left.
Fuel gauge needs repair and heater/blower/defroster does not work. Wipers, brake lights, horn, headlamps, turn signals, am/fm radio all work properly. Brakes stops car as it should, emergency brake works, clutch and gears shift properly. Carpets look great except near your left foot, piping is coming loose. Doors could need new seals as with one window. There is some pitting on the chrome marker lights. A small ding under drivers side headlamp. A little paint bubbling barely noticeable on each side of the car at bottom before rear fenders see photos. Has convertible cover, car cover and bag included with sale.
The VW bug was the first car I ever owned, this car will make someone very happy and save money on gas.
1979 is the last year of the super beetle convertible and can only go up in value if taken care of.
Please call me if you have any questions before bidding or to take a test drive at 910-571-2900.
500.00 deposit to winning bidder, balance in cash or wired funds within 7 days of auctions end.
Clear North Carolina title in my name. Car is sold as is with no warranty. I can assist if it needs to be shipped and know a reasonable shipper.
Chauffeur not included, I don't know why but we get lots of looks when I let him drive.
Low reserve for quick sale, Have a great day!

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
