MEXICAN PLATES WERE RETURNED WHEN CAR WAS BROUGHT TO U.S. THERE IS NO MONEY OWED IN MEXICO! I HAVE ALL ORIGINAL MAUALS AND PAPERWORK.
Car is in the same condition it was when it left the factory in 2004. I literally have only driven car around the block and taken it to a couple of car shows. This is a very collectible Beetle and is not currently registered for use in U.S. (car might need some modifications to register in U.S.) Registration varies from state to state on non converted cars. Conversion IS possible but I highly recommend against it if your interest is in collectability! Also have original sales brochure and original keychain. BLUE ONE IN PICTURE IS NOT FOR SALE AT THIS TIME!!!
To commemorate the end of an era, Volkswagen decided to produce a Sedan called the "Ultima Edicion" or "Last Edition." Production of this special edition was limited to only 2999 units and sold only in Mexico. The Ultima Edicion draws elements from past and present models; this retro-styled Sedan really has a classic look. It is basically a standard Beetle, using the traditional torsion bar suspension, upright spare tire and flat windshield, with an updated engine and electronics. This vehicle lends itself well to the Wolfsburg emblems, chrome bumpers, mirrors and moldings that are all part of this classic--look Volkswagen, this special edition sold out quickly.
Only two colors have been chosen for the Ultima Edicion, Aquarius Blue and Harvest Moon Beige. Both colors have a vintage feel to them and come with black or gray interiors respectively. VW put a lot of time and effort into combining the best of old and new technologies by installing, in the traditional flat dashboard, an AM/FM/CD player. The sound system features four speakers, with two installed in the front door panels and two in the rear shelf over the cargo area. Never before has such an elaborate audio system been installed in a Sedan. Extra sound dampening material has been added to improve the sound quality and lessen road and engine noise. The dashboard is painted to match the exterior of the car and the driver's door panel has the well-known VW map pocket.
Other high tech features include a 1600cc engine with electronic fuel injection, front disc brakes, halogen headlights and a factory installed security system with immobilizer. But it's the exterior where the retro-style of the Ultima Edicion is most evident. Mounted on 15-inch steel wheels painted to match the exterior body color are wide whitewall tires. These nostalgic items combined with classic VW chrome hubcaps take you back to the past. VW hopes that the retro-look of the Sedan will allow people to reminisce and relive fond memories of one of the most beloved cars in the world.
This is a brand new model year 2004 Ultima Edicion with the following factory original features: Digifant Fuel Injection, electronic ignition, catalytic converter, hydraulic valve lifters (never adjust valves), HD 9mm valve screws, inclined valves, modern spin on oil filter, Golf style front disc brakes fed from dual circuit master cylinder, fully reclining seats, full alarm system plus separate engine immobilizer, intermittent windshield wipers with electric washer, H4 halogen headlights, lockable engine lid, locking fuel cap, trunk liner, fully galvanized fuel tank, full sized spare tire, complete body cavity protection (wax based rust proofing like all late model VWs), spray on sound deadening compound in fender wells, engine house and chassis also like most modern cars.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
