1998 Vw New Beetle on 2040-cars
Port Charlotte, Florida, United States

1998 VW Volkswagen New Beetle This 1998 New Beetle is a Canadian export model which is now located in Florida with a clear FL title from this year. It has the metric instrument cluster with 99,387 kilometers on the odometer (equivalent to 67,000 miles roughly). It has the 2.0 AEG engine with an automatic transmission and 4 wheel disc brakes. It was towed in for an overheat condition, we found that the electric fans were not working. A previous tech had replaced the radiator, the water pump and timing belt, the thermostat and 2 water outlets. The vehicle runs and drives though the engine runs a bit rough and the overheat warning lamp illuminates after about 10-15 minutes. The car owner is not interested in any additional repair expenses and it is for sale here and locally. The car is in very good overall condition with no dents or paint damage. It was used as a winter Florida car for the owner whom lives in Canada for the better part of the year; it has not been abused. The underside has superficial rust from northern climates but no structural concerns. I am from New England and know how rusty the cars can get up there! It is of the deluxe trim level and has many desireable options including alloy wheels, Michelin tires, AC and a factory CD changer and power windows, cruise control, overhead clock, etc. The interior is very good overall. The headliner will need to be re-glued as it is dropping in a few areas, and the carpets are a bit dirty but the interior is not damaged at all. This VW would be a great car for the new beetle enthusiast or technician; the front bumper cover and headlamps were removed for access to the radiator mounting bolts but they are fully intact and undamaged. Any questions, call Jeff 941-830-3137. |

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
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.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
