We understand that buying a vehicle online can sometimes leave you un-easy. We are aware that there are other dealers online that do not fully describe the vehicles listed. They might leave important information out, or not have a thorough description of that item.

Our goal is simple. Word of mouth and return business is something we take very serious! We achieve this by providing you with all of the information YOU need to make a comfortable decision, and hopefully proceeding to your investment, a vehicle! We strive for A+ satisfaction. We do not want to waste anyone’s time, and definitely don’t want to mislead you. This is why we inform you of EVERYTHING we know, and provide you with detailed descriptions and conditions of the item for sale.


EQUIPPED WITH A VIPER ALARM AND REMOTE START!

This beautiful 2004 Volkswagen New Beetle GL is now available for you to buy! Don’t miss your chance to own a good looking, solid Beetle convertible. I personally drove this vehicle for over an hour just to make sure the motor and transmission is solid with no issues.

INTERIOR: The remote start works at just the press of a button. The original key fob also works with the alarm remote. The black leather interior is all in great shape. The manual top is very easy to put up and down. The aftermarket Kenwood radio sounds great and there is an auxiliary port so you can listen to any device. The heat works great and the a/c is cold. ALL OF THE WINDOWS WORK, and so does everything else! There are no indications of any leaks and there are no odors in this stylish Beetle!

EXTERIOR: The body is in good shape. It looks as if the car was garage kept. The top has no signs of dry rot and the seams are all in great shape. There are a few things that are hard to notice, there is a flaw on the rear driver side bumper. The clear coat in that area has some issues as if it was bumped up against. The front bumper has minor issues on the very bottom, probably caused from scraping. This can be fixed professionally for a few hundred dollars if you wanted it perfect. Other than a few flaws that are hard to notice, this is a great vehicle. The tires have plenty of tread left on them.

MOTOR/HANDLING: The Beetle starts right up and idles with no issues or sounds. The car goes right into gear with no jerking. The acceleration is very responsive and the brakes work great at any speed with no wobble or vibration. The transmission shifts through every gear with no hesitation, every time. I drove over an hour just to make sure there was nothing wrong. The downshifting is also smooth and responsive. The suspension feels great and it does a great job absorbing all the imperfections and making a quiet ride. The powered steering makes tight turns very easy and it is also smooth. There isn’t any pinging when making very tight turns. This vehicle feels very reliable and I would drive it anywhere, any distance. The airbag light is the only issue. Volkswagen is notorious for this. Almost every time the light is on because of a bad connection with a sensor, and usually the sensor is bad. The sensor is under $100 and the labor is very cheap. We can have it looked into and fixed for you prior to delivery, if you were interested. This is one of the few solid Volkswagen Beetles for sale.

This generation of the Volkswagen Beetle is notorious for having issues with the transmission and windows not working properly etc. I wanted to be sure this one was defect free! A car is as good as its owner. The previous owner obviously cared for this Beetle and maintained it very well. There are receipts/records in the glove box. The radio, alarm, and receipts are all good signs of pride in the vehicle, and that shows that maintenance was performed regularly.


 NADA.com appraises this vehicle for $6,625 at suggested retail. The reserve is set nowhere near that. If you are interested in this vehicle and would like to ‘BUY IT NOW’ please feel free to contact me. Thank you so much for looking and good luck with the bidding. -Daryl

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.

2015 Volkswagen e-Golf

Mon, Feb 9 2015

Until now, the only way you could get the words "electric" and "Golf" so close together was the put the word "cart" after them. Knowing that the e-Golf would be the next step in Volkswagen's tilt at electrification, the automaker designed the MkVII platform to fit a myriad of drivetrains, none of which would require purchasers to sacrifice the Golf-ness that makes the best-selling car in Europe, not to mention a huge hit here in the States. In the e-Golf that means power electronics underhood and an amoeba-shaped battery that fits in the floorpan, between the axles, where it won't ooze into the interior space. We look at the e-Golf as another kind of crossover: traditional cars that just happen to be electric, offering a taste of the new EV religion in soothing, recognizable garb. We had one for a week in its natural habitat, Los Angeles and the surrounding area. We really like the fact that, powertrain aside, it maintains everything we dig about the Golf. The caveat is that this is an EV first and a Golf second – you must first address the EV challenges and live within EV constraints, then you can enjoy the Golf bits. Even so, it's the electric car this writer would buy once we acquired the lifestyle to make proper use of it. The most noticeable exterior change to the e-Golf are 16-inch Astana wheels wrapped in 205-series tires that reduce rolling resistance by ten percent. Once you've cottoned on to that, the other alterations become apparent: the blue trim strip underlining the radiator grille, the redesigned bumper with the C-shaped decoration LED lights and the full-LED headlamps above them, the little blue "e" in the model name on the rear hatch. You won't notice the underbody paneling, that the frontal area of the e-Golf is ten percent smaller than that of a traditional Golf, that the radiator is closed off, or the reshaped rear spoiler and vanes on the C-pillars. Volkswagen says this results in a ten-percent drop in drag, getting the coefficient down to 0.281, but the standard Golf is also listed at 0.28. The TSI and TDI are 0.29. No matter those numbers, the point is the e-Golf looks just like... a Golf. The 12,000-rpm, 85-kW electric motor equates to 115 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque, which compares to 146 hp and 236 lb-ft from the 2.0-liter diesel Golf. It takes 4.2 seconds to get to 37 miles per hour, 10.4 seconds to hit 62 mph, and the little guy tops out at 87 mph.
