This is the first model year of the New Beetle. I bought the car new in November of 1998 and it's the cleanest 14 year old car you'll find. It's got only 65,000+ original miles, and I'm the one and only owner. I have all the service records and the car has been very well maintained. It's only been driven in MA for just one year; it spent the last 11 years in WA state on salt-free roads. In addition to being in great shape overall, it's never been in an accident or had any incidental damage.

The interior is in very good shape, the fabric seats have some wear but no rips or tears. There is ample headroom for front seat passengers, and surprisingly decent rear seat legroom. The rear seat folds down flat and can carry a lot of stuff that way (I've taken many ski trips in this buggy). It drives great and gets 30+ mpg, with almost every option available for this model year: A/C, cruise, power windows and locks, 17" alloy wheels, ABS and yes, a cassette player. Compare it to any similar vintage Corolla or Civic and you'll get far more for your money.

Everything in the car is original and in working condition. There are a few minor issues, including: the wheel insert hubs are missing their VW emblems; the passenger side fog light doesn't work (and is very difficult to replace, or I would have); and the passenger side power window switch is a bit loose, but works fine. The battery was replaced last year and the newer Michelin tires have < 10,000 miles on them (the first set of Michelins lasted 50K+ miles). This is a terrific car, perfect for VW aficionados.

Sales terms: you pick up locally and pay with cashier's check or cash only.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
