2000 Volkswagen Beetle Gls 2.0l on 2040-cars
Kenner, Louisiana, United States
I am the first and only actual owner, having acquired it in 2000. The car has not been in any accidents; I don't smoke. There's no rust. The car was originally leased, but the lease was broken early. It has reliably gotten me around the the country. I'm selling it mainly because I've purchased a 4-door car. It's a great car for someone who's able to give it attention. Over the years, I've replaced the tires with the upgraded alloy wheels and added a factory spoiler, leather seat covers, all weather mats, and tinting to the rear window.
Condition is fair for its age. Mostly cosmetic defects (e.g. missing front grill). It had a new coat of paint sprayed on in 2011, but it did not get an undercoat for warmer temperatures. This has made the paint buckle in a few spots. The gas cap panel does not pop open when pulling the lever in the car; it must be opened manually in the trunk. It has a full spare which is currently in use while the fourth matching tire is in the trunk and needs replacing. The weight of the rear spoiler sometimes prevents the trunk from being unlatched properly the first time it is opened. The 6-CD player has a loose connection which prevents it from playing. The driver windshield washer sprayer has a broken attachment clip; it is fully functional and needs to be manually placed after opening/closing the hood. Both key fobs show the wear and tear of being used for ten years. The only known mechanical defect of any significance is that the oil light comes on after the engine warms from a cold start. It does not overheat, and the oil pump was replaced in the last month. Alternator and battery were replaced 18 months ago. Car is sold as-is. Please ask any questions related to the car before bidding. This car is also being advertised locally, and it may be cancelled if sold before the auction ends. I do comply with eBay's policies on ending a listing early. |

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
