Volkswagen Beetle 1972 on 2040-cars
Eden, Utah, United States
|
1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This is an original low mileage, good running and driving, Volkswagen Beetle. The VW is registered to me and I have an original Utah Title in my name. This VW spent most of its time is, dry (no salt on the roads), southern Utah. The original pan is solid, not dented, and is rust free. The engine was recently rebuilt, and runs excellent. The VW shifts smoothly and stops firmly. It has new tires and a new battery. The body is very solid and does not have any hidden repairs. All of the glass is good and the spare tire is in place. It is an original, 76,000 mile, Beetle. If you have any questions about my Beetle, please don't hesitate to give me a call. My home phone, which is still attach to our kitchen wall, has the following number (801) 745-0599. The VW is currently registered, insured, and has been safety inspected. These steps are necessary to register and drive a car in the State of Utah. The VW can be driven anywhere and comes with a repair manual and catalogs.
I want the new owner to know exactly what they are buying. With this in mind, I will nit pick the minor problems. First, mechanically, it is in excellent condition. The biggest problem with the VW is the interior. It has new door panels, but the original seats are tattered and need to be corrected. It has after market seat covers that are functional, but it needs new seat covers. The original paint is worn and there are minor dings that show surface rust discoloring. The running board on the passenger's side has a small dent by the rear fender. Again, please look closely at all of the photos. If you have less than 5 positive feedback in your ebay feedback score, please email me before bidding. I want this to be a good straightforward auction. Please look at my ebay feedback score. I highly value my 100% positive feedback on ebay, and I want the new owner to be satisfied with the Beetle. A $250. deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing - unless you contact me directly to make other arrangements. Good luck bidding. The reserve on the car is very low and well under the cars value. |

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.
VW makes $9.2B offer for rest of truckmaker Scania
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Volkswagen owns or has controlling interests in three commercial truck operations: besides its own, VW began buying shares in Sweden's Scania in 2000 and now controls 89.2 percent of its shares and 62.6 percent of its capital, then bought into Germany's Man in 2006 - in order to prevent Man from trying to take over Scania - and now owns 75 percent of it. The car company has managed to work out 200 million euros in savings, but believes it can unlock a total of 650 million euros in savings if it takes outright control of Scania and can spread more common parts among the three divisions.
It has proposed a 6.7-billion-euro ($9.2 billion) buyout, but according to a Bloomberg report, Scania's minority investors don't appear inclined to the deal. Although effectively controlled by VW, Scania is an independently-listed Swedish company, and a profitable one at that: in the January-September 2013 period its operating profit was 9.4 percent compared to Man's 0.4 percent. Some of the other shareholders believe that Scania is better off on its own and will not approve the deal, some have asked an auditor to look into the potential conflict of interest between VW and Man, while some are willing to examine the deal and "make an evaluation based on what a long-term owner finds is good," which might not be just "the stock market price plus a few percent." The buyout will only be official assuming VW can reach the 90-percent share threshold that Swedish law mandates for a squeeze-out.
Many of the arguments against boil down to investors believing that Scania's Swedishness and unique offerings are what keep it profitable, and ownership by the German car company will kill that. (Have we heard that somewhere before?) If Volkswagen can buy that additional 0.8-percent share in Scania, perhaps its buyout wrangling with Man will give it an idea of what it's in for: "dozens" of minority investors in the German truckmaker have filed cases against VW, seeking higher prices for their shares. It is likely only to delay the inevitable, though. If VW is really going to compete with Daimler and Volvo in the truck market, it has to get the size, clout and savings to do so.
Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
