Up for bid is a super efficient 2002 New Beetle TDI with the legendary 1.9L ALH series diesel. This example has only 79k miles and runs like a top. Expertly maintained by an ASE certified VW Master Tech who is a personal friend of mine. This car was purchased for my daughter to drive to high school. No expense has been spared in its upkeep.
     We purchased it from the estate of a family friend in Tampa FL with 27k on the odometer a little over 3 years ago. I have listed the services done to the car both prior to us acquiring it and since we have owned it. Mechanically it is a 10/10. There are no lights on the dash, engine runs as new, transmission shifts smoothly and all power options are working properly. Inspection is welcomed by your certified mechanic at your own expense by appointment.
     The interior is smoke free and clean. There are no rips, stains or strange odors. There are however a few common VW cosmetic issues on the interior. They are listed below for your consideration. I would rate the interior a 7.5/10. 
     The body is rust free and the undercarriage is very clean. The car has only seen 3 NE winters and was washed regularly. There are some dings and small dents around the car. These are the results of parking lots and the like. The elderly gentlemen we purchased the car from impacted a workbench in his garage shortly before he stopped driving. This created a small hole in the front bumper cover and some scratches in the paint in that area. Pictures are included. I would rate the body 8/10. The paint really shines nicely and there is absolutely no rust. 
    We are selling the car as my daughter is attending school in NYC and a car there is not allowed. With a little cosmetic TLC the car would be mint. Car comes with winter wheels with studded snow tires and many spare filters.

SERVICES:

***Oil changes every 5k with Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 full Synthetic oil and factory or Napa Gold oil filter***
*** Fuel filter changed every 10k with factory or Napa Gold filter- filter filled with lubro moly injection cleaner at each change***

2. Glove box door is removed. Latching mechanism failed. Used units available on eBay. 
3. Both interior door handles have been replaced with billet aluminum custom units. There are some cracks in the door panel where the originals failed due to being plastic and the Beetle having large heavy doors.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

Volkswagen forced to sell stake in Suzuki

Mon, Aug 31 2015

The six-year-long failed marriage between Volkswagen and Suzuki has finally come to an end. Almost. An arbitration panel in London issued its final verdict which, according to a VW press release, cleared Suzuki in terminating the agreement, so VW now needs to get rid of its 19.9-percent share. However, the tribunal's decision said VW performed all of its obligations and Suzuki didn't – the Japanese carmaker should have given VW last-call rights for a delivery of diesel engines, but failed to. The breach opens Suzuki up to damage claim, but so far VW only says it reserves the right to sue. Now that Suzuki has an outside investor to provide funds it meant to get from VW, perhaps both can get back to their reasons for being. The press release is below. Ruling in arbitration proceedings: Cooperation between Volkswagen and Suzuki deemed terminated - Arbitral tribunal confirms Volkswagen met contractual obligations and finds that Suzuki has ordinary right to terminate agreement based on reasonable notice - Volkswagen to dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects positive effect on Company's earnings and liquidity from transaction - Arbitrators also find that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has right to claim damages Wolfsburg, 30 August 2015 - An arbitral tribunal in London has announced its ruling in the dispute between Suzuki Motor Corporation and Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. As a result, cooperation between the two parties is deemed terminated. The arbitrators confirmed that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement and found that Suzuki has terminated the agreement upon reasonable notice. Volkswagen will therefore now dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects a positive effect on the Company's earnings and liquidity from the transaction. The arbitral tribunal also confirmed that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has the right to claim damages. "We welcome the clarity created by this ruling. The tribunal rejected Suzuki's claims of breach and found that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement. Nevertheless, the arbitrators found that termination of the cooperation agreement by Suzuki on reasonable notice was valid, and that Volkswagen must dispose of the shares purchased.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
