2001 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo 2-door 1.8l Red - Low Miles! on 2040-cars
Jackson, Wyoming, United States
|
Do the yellow fake flowers I bought at Dollar Tree come with it? YES. ;) This car runs great, I bought it years ago to use in my mobile windshield repair business. I am a big buffed/fat/tall dude, and it was a great attention grabber to see a guy my size get out of this car. I am 6'2" and over 250 pounds and I fit nicely in the car, even though I can barely squeeze into a Toyota 4-Runner. I sold the windshield repair business and now use a van for our new business, so I don't really need a sexy sports car until a few years ahead when I have my mid-life crisis. It runs great, looks great and is a fast & fun car. I know it probably sounds too good to be true that the mileage is only 68k, but it is true! (I might put a few more miles on it by the time you win it, but not many) The fact that you found this car is clearly proof that good things happen to good people who like to drive fast. :) I even loaned this car to my pal and fellow shooting instructor Terry Vaughan, the Top Shot reality TV star and author of The Dad's Guide to Screening His Daughter's Boyfriends. Terry isn't as famous as Elvis, but still... it would suit me fine if you added a ton of money to your bids because it has been driven by a celebrity! ;) When I have had little issues, I always take it right down to my awesome mechanics at Able Auto 307-739-8960 and they "fix it up right." I have only owned it for the last 4 years and 15k miles, but during that time it has had oil changes every 3,000 miles. The guys at Able Auto are friends, so I don't expect you to trust them to tell you honestly what they think of this car, but I actually warned Jay at Able Auto that folks might call and ask about it. I asked him to be honest and frank about what he knows about it. If you want to hire a different mechanic in the 83001 zip code to check it out, I would be happy to drop it off with them for the day. I won't tell you how I know this because I have the right not to self-incriminate, but trust me when I say that it does not have a governor at least up to 115MPH. I generally drive it around slowly and responsibly like a guy that does not want to get hassled by his former partners at the Jackson Police Department, but it might have been over 100MPH twice and handled well at that speed. I would be happy to meet you at the airport as long as you will agree to give me a ride back to my house in your awesome red VW Slug Bug! What questions do you have? :) |

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way 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 unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
