 1973 VW beetle, I have owned and driven this car everyday from 06/11 - 4/13 when the engine had a bearing issue and I removed it. This car really meant a lot to me and I have kept strict maintenance on it until 06/13. I really enjoyed this car while I was a student and traveling nurse assistant, now that I have a new job I just can't take the time to maintain this appropriately. I want to sell it to someone that will take care of it, I am going to be completely honest about it's condition. , please feel free to call me Noah Swift 717-273-1743 or e-mail at lebnoah@gmail.com.

----------------Pro's---------------

Minimal Rust
Dash has no sun damage
Both drive shafts replaced last year
Totally replaced ignition switch and signal wiring in steering column
Up to PA inspection standards on 5/13
No braking leaks or issues
No issues with gas tank, rubber gas hose replaced recently (gas gauge float does not work sometimes)
No stripped bolts on body or on trans-engine mount (transmission rubber boots intact, replaced last year)
No electrical issues
Shocks appear stock but I have had no issues with them.
Four brand new Touring tires with professionally painted rim
I put the transmission in myself in 2012, it was used, I bought it from a guy that was piecing a beetle in his shed for 600$. It does not slip, pop, or grind and the trans fluid is clear red with no burnt odor.
I have crawled under it every summer and sanded off any rust,then painted with about 4 coats of Rustoleum. Besides under the battery, there is no floorboard rusting. I did this with the fenders as well. Left rear fender has some rust thru (photo)
There are 2 stock seatbelts in the front with shoulder sttap, and I have installed 2 stock seatbelts in the rear.
New Cards on doors and rear. The seats are used but reconditioned with 2 tears (photos)
Headliner has no holes or sag, it is original.

-------------Con's----------------
There is NO ENGINE, it does come with a new Sachs Clutch (photo)
The steering shakes and should be restored, I am including a lot of the items needed for this (photo). If you are going to take the time to dissmantle the steering system this far I would recommend changing the steering box while you are up there, they cost about $100.00.
Window rubber and body rubber between fenders needs replaced., Front and Rear window rubber is like new.
Trunk and hood need re-aligned to open and shut correctly, all of the hardware is attached, it just needs reset.
Minor dents and minor rust (photos)
Speedometer cable is attached but nod placed into wheel.. speedometer does work.
Rear Light is cracked and will need replaced.
T-Bars (bumper bars) are not tightened down thoroughly, you will have to buy bolts from hardware store.
The assembly or opening and closing heater-vent is not there, you will need to buy these assemblies, I was holding open the vent with twist ties all winter then removing them in spring.
There is no radio, but it is ready to be connected to one and the speakers in both doors are new and do work.
You will need to buy some flashing for e.j. the hood and the panel under the doors.
The wipers work, I could never figure out how the wiper spray system works with the spare tire, but the assembly for this connection is there.
There is a rubber seal in the engine compartment essential for proper engine use.. you will need to replace this rubber seal.

--------------Included!!!!---------------

Brand new Sachs Clutch Set
1 year old Bosch Starter
Electronic heater blower
Spare Tire
Two Rollers, Two tie rod ends, and new set of polyurethane replacement bushings.
Two fan belts
One condenser
One acceleration cable
New Battery
4 brand new Touring Tires with professionally painted rims and 4 dogdish hubcaps

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.

With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win.

10 best new car deals of November 2021

Thu, Nov 4 2021

Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
