1998 Volkswagen Beetle Base Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
|
I purchased this New Beetle on Ebay in 2004 with 52887 miles on it. I have put an average of 9,000 miles per year on it since then. It has been a reliable car for me. I have never allowed anyone to smoke in it. I have had it regularly maintained at Vee Village, a highly respected auto repair shop. This shop has not tried to push me to fix every little thing on the car when I bring it in, but has only focussed on the necessary items. I have always followed through with their recommendations on repairs and they have kept it in good order for my needs.
The car does have normal wear and tear on it, but is in quite respectable shape for a 16 year old car. It even comes with the original sunflower on the dash, though the flower is a bit droopy these days. I have kept the carpeted dashboard mat on the dashboard protecting the plastic from sun and other wear. The car still runs well and I will be driving it around town for errands until it sells; thus, the mileage may be slightly higher at the end of the auction. My "new" used car arrives from an Ebay seller at the end of the week. I am selling the car because of the reduced performance of the heater. Vee Village said it will cost $1,500 to replace the foam under the dashboard to get the heater and ac working adequately again. For mild weather climates this should not be an issue. The car heats well in 40+ degree weather. The ac worked fine for me last summer in 80 degree temperatures. Please note in the photos, because of the snow and winter weather, the car is not washed. Smudges and dirt from snow covered streets are currently on the car. I intend to wash it when the weather clears.. You may call me at 816-213-3537 if you have any questions. |

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
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.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
