On Jun-04-14 at 18:48:50 PDT, seller added the following information: Question from eBay member: Are the running board rubbers and fender beading painted over? Answer: Running board rubbers and fender beading are not painted. The rubber comes from Germany where the previous owner thru VW America located NOS( new old stock) and bought all they had left. The German VW'S had color coordinated rubber to match body color. USA versions black only. Good Question. Question from eBay member: Does car leak any oil? Can car be driven from Fl to Ca? Answer: Car does not leak any oil or transaxle fluids at all! VW's do not leak if properly maintained and built. In my opinion car could be driven anywhere no problem. My question would be why drive such a spectacular car 3500+ miles . On a trip of that magnitude potential damage from rocks, truck tires,& who knows what could happen. I recommend an enclosed truck driven by pro's. This VW is that nice. On Jun-05-14 at 05:25:05 PDT, seller added the following information: Question from eBay member: Do you have pictures of the total body restoration, is it a bare metal refinish? Answer: Yes do have pictures provided by previous owner showing total bare metal restoration and refinish. Will be passed along to winner. Thanks Question from eBay member: Has the structural metal (usually rusted areas on most) been replaced? Answer: Both pans newer, front pan under apron ( spare wheel well) and rear back seat pan( under the rear seat seen from under car above transaxle. Yes you are correct these areas usually are rusted to various degrees. These were replaced by previous owner as part of a high end restoration process. A professional job, can not tell from factory lots of money spent. All metal epoxy coated (sealed) then 3m truck bed liner the tuff stuff not undercoating or paint that comes off, this stuff is difficult to remove period. This VW is solid! Thanks

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.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It'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.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
