Up for bid is a super efficient 2002 New Beetle TDI with the legendary 1.9L ALH series diesel. This example has only 79k miles and runs like a top. Expertly maintained by an ASE certified VW Master Tech who is a personal friend of mine. This car was purchased for my daughter to drive to high school. No expense has been spared in its upkeep.
We purchased it from the estate of a family friend in Tampa FL with 27k on the odometer a little over 3 years ago. I have listed the services done to the car both prior to us acquiring it and since we have owned it. Mechanically it is a 10/10. There are no lights on the dash, engine runs as new, transmission shifts smoothly and all power options are working properly. Inspection is welcomed by your certified mechanic at your own expense by appointment. The interior is smoke free and clean. There are no rips, stains or strange odors. There are however a few common VW cosmetic issues on the interior. They are listed below for your consideration. I would rate the interior a 7.5/10. The body is rust free and the undercarriage is very clean. The car has only seen 3 NE winters and was washed regularly. There are some dings and small dents around the car. These are the results of parking lots and the like. The elderly gentlemen we purchased the car from impacted a workbench in his garage shortly before he stopped driving. This created a small hole in the front bumper cover and some scratches in the paint in that area. Pictures are included. I would rate the body 8/10. The paint really shines nicely and there is absolutely no rust. We are selling the car as my daughter is attending school in NYC and a car there is not allowed. With a little cosmetic TLC the car would be mint. Car comes with winter wheels with studded snow tires and many spare filters. SERVICES: ***Oil changes every 5k with Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 full Synthetic oil and factory or Napa Gold oil filter*** *** Fuel filter changed every 10k with factory or Napa Gold filter- filter filled with lubro moly injection cleaner at each change*** *** Air filter and cabin air filter changed every 30k*** *** Battery replaced 2/2011*** Major services: 42k miles : Timing belt, rollers, tensioners, water pump and serpentine belt changed due to age not mileage.

Both interior door handles have been replaced with billet aluminum custom units. There are some cracks in the door panel where the originals failed due to being plastic and the Beetle having large heavy doors. 4. There is a small dime sized discoloration on driver seat bottom.

The VW diesel scandal is now a Halloween costume
Mon, Oct 5 2015Can't figure out what costume to wear at your upcoming Halloween party? Love cars? Have a bunch of auto enthusiast friends who appreciate a super timely joke? Well, fear not. You're set for this season. HalloweenCostumes.com presents the VW Diesel Scandal costume, complete with toxic gas mask, fuel canister, and a cute little car blowing a plume of smoke. It's a full do-it-yourself job, and the site shows all of the necessary parts you'll need to make your very own scandalous outfit. And no, we aren't sure why the male model isn't wearing a shirt. "I'm a car guy and a Passat driver before it broke down, so I never wanted to make light of the VW scandal. I actually really like the brand," HalloweenCostumes.com's Marlon Heimerl tells Autoblog. "But I'm also an environmentalist and marketing manager for a Halloween company. So fair is fair, just doing our job." "The biggest news stories and scandals in particular always find their way to the top of the list for the topical costumes of the year," HC's vice president of marketing, Troy Eaves, writes to Autoblog. "Sure, car scandals happen all the time, but on a much smaller scale both in terms of the total number of cars effected, and the actual parts in question are usually replaceable through a recall. This one was much larger scale, affected millions of consumers, and the damage can't really be undone. This rings 'big costume' for the Halloween industry." Credit where credit is due, this is pretty funny. Now, bring on the Sexy VW Diesel Scandal treatment.
Translogic 171: EV West Karmann Ghia Electric Conversion
Wed, Feb 25 2015Translogic checks out EV West, one of the world leaders in electric vehicle conversions. Host Jonathon Buckley interviews EV West owner Michael Bream and test drives a converted 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. What drives EV West to electrify classic cars may surprise some. "We're not doing this because we're the hardcore environmentalists or we're trying to save the earth," says Bream. "If we can't at least double your horsepower and torque, we won't touch the car." In fact, EV West brings a race-tested performance pedigree to back up those boasts. The company competed in the electric class at Pikes Peak, has run through the desert at Baja, and in general has successfully proved that battery-electric vehicles can compete at a high level.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
