THESE NEW BEETLES ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CARS.  THE BEST SMALL CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN.  THEY FEEL LIKE A MID-SIZE CAR INSIDE; THEY'RE FUEL EFFICIENT WITHOUT BEING GUTLESS; THEY'RE SOLID; AND VOLKSWAGENS ARE THE MOST REASONABLY PRICED GERMAN CARS! I LIKE THEM  SO MUCH  THAT I BOUGHT 2 OF THEM.  I ALSO OWN MINI COOPERS AND A FIAT 500.  THE NEW 2012 STYLE BEETLE IS THE OVERALL BEST IN MY OPINION.

 

DESCRIPTION:    2012 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2.5L AUTOMATIC. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AT LEWISVILLE VOLKSWAGEN IN THE DALLAS AREA, MAY 3, 2012 AS A BRAND NEW CAR. 

YES, CAR IS BLUETOOTH EQUIPPED

I IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED MY LONG-STANDING TRADITION OF IMPROVING ON THE FACTORY BUILD.   

SPECIFICALLY:

1) I TOOK THE BLACK FINISHED "HERITAGE" WHEELS (WHICH BY THE WAY ARE NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON LATE '13s AND '14s)  AND SENT THEM OUT TO BE TRIPLE CHROME PLATED.    WHEN THEY GOT BACK I LIKED THE LOOK OF THE BASIC HERITAGE WHEEL, SO I FOUND A SUITABLE CENTER CAP FROM ANOTHER TYPE OF VW WHEEL, AND SHOW THE CAR THIS WAY. I DO HAVE THE LARGE CENTER CAPS AND TRIM RINGS. BUT, MY RATIONALE IS WHY PUT PLASTIC CHROME PLATED  STUFF OVER CHROMED ALUMINUM WHEELS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY LOOK LIKE THIS!

2) INSTALLED RETRO WIDE-WHITEWALL RADIAL TIRES.  THEY ARE THE "REAL" THING, NOT SOME BUFFED OR GRAFTED ON WHITEWALL. THEY'RE FROM AMERICAN CLASSICS OF COKER TIRE.  BY THE TIME THEY'RE MOUNTED AND BALANCE ON THE CAR THE TAB IS $1500.00 FOR THESE PUPS.

3) TOOK THE FLAT BLACK PLASTIC CENTER FRONT GRILLE, AND SIDE CORNERING LIGHT ASSEMBLIES (THE SIDE GRILLES) AND HAD THEM  CHROME PLATED.  NOT CHROME SPRAY PAINT, THESE ARE THE REAL THING. CHROME PLATED BY THE ONE COMPANY IN THE USA THAT'LL DO IT.    MEGABUCKS!  ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE PIECES THAT WERE ONCE BLACK PLASTIC WEIGH AS IF THEY'RE METAL, AND HAVE THE QUALITY THEY SHOULD HAVE!

4) FACTORY CHROME MIRROR CAPS WEREN'T AVAILABLE, NEITHER WERE CHROME DOOR HANDLES. THESE WERE ALSO CHROME PLATED.  THEY'RE NOT STICK ON TOPPERS;  THEY'RE THE REAL, VW THING. ONLY BETTER, 'CAUSE THEY'RE CHROME PLATED.

5) CHROME VW FACTORY EXHAUST FINISHERS;

6) CHROME "AIR SCOOPS" (AS A NOD TO THE ORIGINAL VW BEETLES)

7) CHROME VOLKSWAGEN SCRIPT AND CHROME BEETLE SCRIPT.  EACH  ONE OF THESE EMBLEMS IS $60

8) CAR ALSO HAS FACTORY MONSTER MATS, CARGO BLOCKS, CARGO COMPARTMENT MAT, FIRST AID KIT.  $285 FOR THAT STUFF.

9) I HAD TO ADD THE FACTORY CENTER ARMREST BETWEEN THE SEATS; NON-TURBOS DIDN'T COME WITH IT;  THAT COST $600.00! 

10) CAR HAS "VIN ETCH" WHERE PARTS ARE ETCHED WITH THE VIN (ANTI-THEFT)

11) DON'T FORGET ALL NEW VOLKSWAGENS COME WITH FACTORY PAID ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHILE THEY'RE UNDER WARRANTY.                                   

 

WHAT IT COST:

SELLING PRICE OF CAR:   $22149.00

CHROME PLATING OF WHEELS:   $1500.00

WIDE WHITEWALL TIRES:  $1500.00

CHROME PLATING OF FRONT END PARTS AND MIRRORS/DOOR HANDLES:  $2000.00

CHROME EMBLEMS:   $260.00  CENTER ARMREST $600.00

THIS CAR COST $28,009.00 TO BUILD LIKE THIS.

I'LL SELL IT FOR $18,990.00

THAT'S $9,019.00 LESS THAN IT COST ME; AND JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S A 2012. THE CONDITION IS EVERY BIT AS "NEW" AS A 2014 ON YOUR DEALER'S FLOOR RIGHT NOW.

SO NO, I WON'T SELL IT FOR WHOLESALE BOOK.  IT'S NOT A WHOLESALE PIECE; IT'S NOT A COMMON USED BEETLE.  BLUEBOOK AVERAGES DON'T APPLY TO CUSTOMIZED CARS. THEY DON'T APPLY TO ULTRA LOW-MILEAGE EXAMPLES, EITHER.  THE PERSON WHO'LL BUY THIS CAR WILL UNDERSTAND THAT.

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS  YOU SHOULD READ IT SO THERE ARE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS!

1) PRICE IS FOR THE CAR, AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, TITLE TRANSFER FEES, REGISTRATION OR LICENSE FEES. 

2) VEHICLE IS SOLD STRICTLY "AS-IS" AND "WHERE-IS".  I AM A PRIVATE PERSON SELLING HIS OWN PERSONAL VEHICLE.   THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS A VALID FACTORY VOLKSWAGEN WARRANTY; THE REMAINDER OF 3 YR/ 36,000 MILES.  DELIVERY DATE WAS 05/03/12;  CURRENT MILES ARE 4,300.  YOU CAN DO THE MATH.   VW EXTENDED WARRANTIES ARE EASY TO BUY AND A GREAT THING; IF YOU WANT TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AT A GOOD COST I CAN PUT YOU IN CHARGE WITH A NICE GUY AT THE VW DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. 

3) I WARRANT THE CAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF IT. (REMEMBER IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW).  NO ACCIDENTS, HAIL, FLOOD, FIRE, ETC. THE CARFAX WILL TESTIFY TO THAT.   BESIDES THAT STATEMENT, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE TO THE BUYER; THE FACTORY IS STILL ON THE HOOK FOR THAT!

4) VEHICLE MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS (TOTAL DAYS, NOT BUSINESS DAYS) OF YOUR DECISION TO BUY-IT-NOW. 

5) PAYMENT MUST BE BY BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR BANK CASHIER'S CHECK ON KNOWN BANK.

6) VW CREDIT HOLDS TITLE TO THE VEHICLE.  SO HERE'S HOW IT WORKS;  YOU'LL PAY FOR THE CAR; WHEN YOUR MONEY CLEARS MY BANK YOU TAKE THE CAR; WE'LL HAVE A NOTARIZED AGREEMENT WHICH STATES THAT YOU'LL GET THE TITLE AS SOON AS I HAVE RECEIVED IT FROM VW CREDIT.  ALL LEGAL AND UPFRONT.  ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT CALL ME.   NEED A REFERENCE THAT I'M A PERSON OF INTEGRITY? NO PROBLEM. GLAD TO SUPPLY IT.

7) VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT HORSESHOE BAY, TEXAS.  JUST ONE HOUR WEST OF AUSTIN IN BEAUTIFUL HIGHLAND LAKES AREA OF THE HILL COUNTRY.  HORSESHOE BAY IS A WORLD-CLASS OUTDOOR RECREATION RESORT COMMUNITY.  GREAT GOLF, TENNIS, BOATING.  WE HAVE A MARRIOTT RESORT IN THIS SMALL TOWN OF 5000. 

IF YOU WANT ME TO PERSONALLY DELIVER THE CAR, THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION; IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHAT I'D HAVE TO CHARGE YOU.  VEHICLE WOULD OF COURSE HAVE TO BE PAID FOR FIRST, AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO INSURE IT ON YOUR POLICY.  WE CAN TALK ABOUT DELIVERY IF NEED BE. 

ONE FINAL NOTE: THERE ALWAYS SEEM TO BE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO FEEL IT'S THEIR BIRTHRIGHT TO  COMMENT (UNSOLICITED) ON WHY THEY FEEL A SELLER'S PRICE IS TOO HIGH AND WHY IT'S THEIR ENTITLEMENT TO BUY SAID CAR FOR 50% OF WHOLESALE BOOK.  TO THOSE FOLKS I SAY THIS;  KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF; I'VE BEEN IN THE CAR BUSINESS FOR 4 DECADES NOW AND........"I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE".   BOTTOM LINE IS, IT'S MY CAR, AND THE PRICE LISTED IS WHAT IT IS. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WHOLESALER, GO GET YOUR DEALER'S LICENSE AND GO TO A WHOLESALE AUTO AUCTION.  THIS IS A CAR THAT WILL BE SOLD ON A RETAIL BASIS.

Volkswagen plugs new Passat GTE into European outlets

Mon, Jul 13 2015

It's been the better part of a year since Volkswagen first announced the Passat GTE and revealed it at the Paris Motor Show. And now the German automaker is finally bringing it to market. That is, at least, certain markets, anyway. The new GTE broadens the range of the European-market Passat (which is entirely different from the model we get here) with a plug-in hybrid for the first time. It follows the emergence of the Golf GTE which has a similar setup. The gasoline-electric powertrain marries a 1.4-liter turbo four to an electric motor and a dual-clutch transmission, producing a combined 215 horsepower. It can also be switched into pure electric mode, giving it a battery-powered range of 31 miles and warranting exemption from congestion charges in London and other such cities. VW will offer the Passat GTE in both sedan and Variant wagon forms, with sales already beginning in select markets and broadening across Europe this fall. Asian markets can expect to see the new plug-in by year-end as well. Interested US customers will just have to admire this particular model from afar. New Passat GTE launches as saloon and Variant - Volkswagen continues e-motoring offensive with plug-in hybrid - Passat GTE delivers 218 PS and travels up to 50 kilometres on all-electric power - First Volkswagen plug-in hybrid in the high-volume segment of large family cars The Volkswagen continues to electrify! Following the Golf GTE*, comes the next high-volume model with a plug-in drive system: this time the German carmaker is electrifying the new Passat GTE. Its launch marks the debut of a new generation of business and family cars – zero-emission vehicle and long-distance touring car all in one. A Volkswagen that combines the present and the future. A car that boasts not only one of the most progressive drive systems of our time, but also an array of innovative assistance and infotainment systems that is ground-breaking in the segment of large family cars. With superb system output of 160 kW / 218 PS, frugal NEDC consumption of just 1.6 l/100 km and 12.2 kWh/100 km (Variant: 12.4 kWh) and an all-electric range of up to 50 kilometres, the Passat GTE defines a new level of efficiency in its class. Under normal operating conditions the new Volkswagen always begins its journey in all-electric and thus emission-free mode. This E-Mode can also be activated at the push of a button, for example towards the end of a journey as you enter a city.
