You are bidding on a stunningly beautiful 1970 Classic VW Beetle.   The odometer reads 56,435 and although one might assume it may have "rolled over," given the vehicle's 43 year existence -- the original California title reflected mileage not in excess of 56k, and that is what is now reported on the Massachusetts title.  The carefully preserved and restored condition of the vehicle as well as the existence of the original factory engine in excellent running condition has led several experienced classic VW Beetle mechanics to theorize the stated odometer mileage may in fact not reflect a "roll over" of the reading.  This vehicle was a California beetle (Los Angeles) shipped to Boston, MA in May, 2012.   Numbers match (dash VIN & chassis VIN).   A birth certificate from the German VW Auto Museum is included.  The vehicle was built at the German factory on April 13, 1970 and left the factory on April 20, 1970 (shipped to the US).  The engine (#B6-311-437) is the original engine from the factory and is in excellent running order.  New coil, fuel filter, and other items too numerous to mention.   The original factory color was L19K Yukon Yellow, but the former owner had the vehicle fully restored and repainted a beautiful burgundy.  There are two very tiny dings in the driver door.  There are no other dents or dings.  One pan was replaced during the former owner's restoration.  There is very little rust, having always been garaged.  New tires & chrome VW wheel caps.  New battery. The wheels are chrome with minor blemishes.  Bumpers have very minor blemishes - no dings or dents.  When restored, the former owner took liberty with the interior by replacing the factory black leatherette seating with velour cloth in a bucket seat style.  A rare AM/FM stereo radio is one of the vehicle's options.  It is currently connected only to the 1 dash speaker but a new owner could install additional speakers for true stereo sound.  Also included is a very rare engine lid key lock.   One key operates the ignition, both driver & passenger doors, as well as the engine lid.   The black convertible top is in new condition and includes a new black boot cover when the top is down.  All owners manuals are included.  A number of collectible extras are included:  several framed historic 1970 beetle ads from various magazines; the original 1970 VW beetle marketing brochure (18 pages); several books on the 1970 beetle, including a rare shop manual.  A replica plastic model painted same burgundy color w/ black convertible, housed in a mirrored plastic display case is included.   A black VW cap and a blue t-shirt w/ snoopy and tweety bird driving a red convertible beetle is also included.  All-in-all, this vehicle is in very nice mechanical and cosmetic condition, and, w/ associated collectible memorabilia, would be an exceptional acquistion for the classic VW beetle enthusiast.  The original MSRP was $2,249.  NADA antique/collectible vehicle value is currently $10,800 (average retail) & $18,900 (high retail).  It is currently valued/insured for $12,000 w/ a classic/antique vehicle insurance company.   Review my 100% ebay seller rating and bid w/ confidence.   $500 non-refundable deposit required via PayPal within 24 hours of end of listing (serious bidders/purchasers only).  Remaining balance is due within 7 days by certified bank check drawn upon a U.S. bank or cash in person.  Buyer is encouraged to arrange for mechanical and/or cosmetic inspection at his/her own cost.  Buyer is responsible for pickup (local Boston area) or transportation costs to other areas of the continental U.S. (lower 48 states).

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.
