2001 Volkswagen, New Beetle, Diesel, 5 Speed, Turbo, Royal Blue



CONDITION:  

This car needs some TLC.  It has been in the same family since brand new which is a plus.  I have all the work ever done to it if needed.  Right now, it needs a mechanic and some work to pass inspection.  I got quoted a little over $900 and research confirms between $700 & $950 (see below for research source). This is a great car for a mechanic or someone that wants to flip it for a higher price.  It has some rust spots and the last owner (me) DID SMOKE.  A car detail usually takes care of this.  ALSO NOTE> we will be cleaning out this car quite thoroughly.  I know how I would want to receive a car even used, and I wouldn't be pleased to get it like it is in the pics.  I will be vacuuming and wiping down completely.  It needs a new front right tire as well.

As stated above: Small rust spots on hood (see image).  Car needs work to pass inspection, catalytic converter ($700-$900, see description for details and source), that's why starting auction so low. Its still a steal even at the buy it now for $1800 because its diesel! YOU SAVE SO MUCH MONEY IN GAS!  contact me for details.THIS CAR IS WORTH IT!   ECONOMY CAR!  SERIOUS GAS SAVER!  I am only selling it because I got a new car as a Christmas gift.  Car has been turned on and moved several times since being parked.

here is the information I got:

FEATURES:

Obviously the best features is the gas mileage,  at approximately 43 mpg. AMAZING! That is my biggest regret with my new Audi.  I will never get the gas mileage like I did with this bug!

HISTORY:

As stated above, my father owned it before me since 2001 and I had it for about 2 years.  It has always been in our family since it came off the lot, hence all the records for any work done.  It was purchased from Tracy Volkswagen out of Hyannis, MA  in 2001.

VW spending $10 million on EV infrastructure, calls on Congress for help

Tue, Feb 10 2015

It must be the season of big EV infrastructure announcements. In the last few days, we've heard from Bollore in France, PG&E in California and now VW. The German automaker says it will spend a total of $10 million on electric vehicle charging infrastructure by 2016. That includes the previously announced ChargePoint investment VW made with BMW and work the automaker is doing to get chargers for cars like the e-Golf installed as its dealerships. But Jorg Sommer, Volkswagen of America'sl VP of product marketing and strategy, said today in Washington, DC that automakers need help from the federal, state and local governments to turn electric mobility into a thing. Speaking at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress, Sommer said VW would like the Feds to support fast charging networks in urban areas as well as interstate corridors and that governments should "commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a US Government priority," he said. He also suggested that the plug-in vehicle multiplier credits under the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations should be extended beyond the 2021 model year. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO INVEST $10 MILLION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE BY 2016 Feb 10, 2015 Washington, D.C., February 10, 2015 – Jorg Sommer, vice president, product marketing and strategy, Volkswagen of America, today presented Volkswagen's holistic approach to e-mobility surrounding the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions 2015 e-Golf, including a $10 million commitment to support electric vehicle infrastructure by 2016. During a presentation delivered at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress in Washington D.C., Sommer stated that Volkswagen believes continued legislative support is needed to reach the next level of electric vehicle adoption. "Automakers have effectively delivered electric vehicles that can satisfy the needs of most American drivers," said Sommer. "In addition to the investment we and other companies and industries are making, we would like to see Federal financing support for establishing fast charging networks in urban areas and interstate corridors. We'd like to see more state and federal organizations commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a U.S. Government priority, and federal purchasing guidelines should reflect that by giving fleet purchasers the flexibility they need," Sommer said.

Volkswagen Golf R Variant ready to haul ass, stuff

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Volkswagen seems to be playing a cruel trick on the American automotive public at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's displaying its sexy Golf R Variant with no clear intention of actually selling the model here. The hot wagon launches in Europe in the spring, but the automaker makes absolutely no mention of the model's prospects in the US. Hopefully, its appearance in LA at least indicates VW is considering bringing it stateside. The great thing about this wagon is that it has everything that the regular Golf R offers, but there's even more room to carry stuff. The same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 296 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. Performance is very close, too, with the Variant R taking 5.1 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour versus the 4.9 seconds the standard R needs to read 60 mph. The two of them also have the same tech goodies like ESC Sport stability control and multiple damping modes. The real advantage to opting for the estate is its ability to carry up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo in the back. This hot rod wagon would seem to be perfect for the family that needs to haul some extra junk in the trunk, but doesn't want to sacrifice performance. Whether the Variant R makes it to the US remains a mystery, though. Scroll down to read the specs and feel a twinge of jealousy.

VW will reportedly offer cash to cheated diesel car drivers

Sun, Nov 8 2015

If you're feeling burned by Volkswagen's decision to cheat on diesel emissions tests, you might get some compensation for your troubles. Sources for The Truth About Cars understand that VW will launch a "TDI Goodwill Program" that compensates diesel car drivers with cash in the form of prepaid cards. In the US, you'd get both a $500 universal card as well as a VW-only card worth $500 to $750. The automaker isn't confirming details just yet, but it tells the New York Times that it's planning an announcement on Monday. Dealers also tell the newspaper that they're aware of a program in the works, although they don't know the specifics. It may not include the expanded range of cars reportedly tainted by the scandal, though, since VW is denying claims that it cheated with some models. This isn't the only olive branch VW has been offering: it's been handing out deals to existing owners willing to hop into new vehicles, and there are more discounts than usual across the board. However, the goodwill effort would represent the first instance of VW directly compensating drivers who'd previously thought they were getting an eco-friendly machine. This isn't going to make up for years of unnecessary pollution, but it may represent the company's best hope of holding on to customers.
