Here's the story. Bought this as a surprise graduation gift. The giftee said it doesn't have A/C, I said put the top down. She said it will mess up my hair. Took her shopping, she picked out a air conditioned Mustang. Now I have a VW, Bug, Super Beetle for sale. Bought locally from an individual. They told me a few years ago that the interior had been redone, the motor was replaced with a new Scat 1766cc long block at 96,000 miles. Speedometer reads 06,400 today. The top and headliner appear to be in good shape too, no rips or tears and car has had a re-paint. The car looks good for it's age and drives great, the tires have about 80% left.
Fuel gauge needs repair and heater/blower/defroster does not work. Wipers, brake lights, horn, headlamps, turn signals, am/fm radio all work properly. Brakes stops car as it should, emergency brake works, clutch and gears shift properly. Carpets look great except near your left foot, piping is coming loose. Doors could need new seals as with one window. There is some pitting on the chrome marker lights. A small ding under drivers side headlamp. A little paint bubbling barely noticeable on each side of the car at bottom before rear fenders see photos. Has convertible cover, car cover and bag included with sale.
The VW bug was the first car I ever owned, this car will make someone very happy and save money on gas.
1979 is the last year of the super beetle convertible and can only go up in value if taken care of.
Please call me if you have any questions before bidding or to take a test drive at 910-571-2900.
500.00 deposit to winning bidder, balance in cash or wired funds within 7 days of auctions end.
Clear North Carolina title in my name. Car is sold as is with no warranty. I can assist if it needs to be shipped and know a reasonable shipper.
Chauffeur not included, I don't know why but we get lots of looks when I let him drive.
Low reserve for quick sale, Have a great day!

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
