Here's the story. Bought this as a surprise graduation gift. The giftee said it doesn't have A/C, I said put the top down. She said it will mess up my hair. Took her shopping, she picked out a air conditioned Mustang. Now I have a VW, Bug, Super Beetle for sale. Bought locally from an individual. They told me a few years ago that the interior had been redone, the motor was replaced with a new Scat 1766cc long block at 96,000 miles. Speedometer reads 06,400 today. The top and headliner appear to be in good shape too, no rips or tears and car has had a re-paint. The car looks good for it's age and drives great, the tires have about 80% left. Fuel gauge needs repair and heater/blower/defroster does not work. Wipers, brake lights, horn, headlamps, turn signals, am/fm radio all work properly. Brakes stops car as it should, emergency brake works, clutch and gears shift properly. Carpets look great except near your left foot, piping is coming loose. Doors could need new seals as with one window. There is some pitting on the chrome marker lights. A small ding under drivers side headlamp. A little paint bubbling barely noticeable on each side of the car at bottom before rear fenders see photos. Has convertible cover, car cover and bag included with sale. The VW bug was the first car I ever owned, this car will make someone very happy and save money on gas. 1979 is the last year of the super beetle convertible and can only go up in value if taken care of. Please call me if you have any questions before bidding or to take a test drive at 910-571-2900. 500.00 deposit to winning bidder, balance in cash or wired funds within 7 days of auctions end. Clear North Carolina title in my name. Car is sold as is with no warranty. I can assist if it needs to be shipped and know a reasonable shipper. Chauffeur not included, I don't know why but we get lots of looks when I let him drive. Low reserve for quick sale, Have a great day! |

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
