Up for bid is a very clean and low mileage 1976 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible.  I purchased the car 3 years ago from the nephew of the original owner.  The owner was a college professor at Binghampton SUNY College of New York.  He owned and maintained the vehicle throughout its life.  I have all the original paperwork showing it has 35000 miles on it 15 years ago.  It is just under 40000 today.  Unfortunately. the fellow had cancer, and before he passed he gave the car to his young nephew.  The nephew keep it really nice and garaged it and did not drive it in the winter months. The young man put it up for sale on ebay about 3 years ago and I bought it from him


I have had the vehicle completely inspected and all the necessary maintenance it needed to make it a completely safe and reliable vehicle.  It does not leak oil, shifts easily, the clutch engages correctly.  The car handles, drives and stop like it should.  The top is new, and the interior has be refreshed with new seat covers, carpet, etc.  

The body is in excellent condition with no rust, or dents.  The underbody is excellent and the car has no rust.  The color is red with orange tones.  The interior is black and is in excellent condition.  The car has a factory tach, and all the volkswagen standard guages--speedo and gas guage.  It has the factory AM/FM radio that works fine.

I have driven the car on trips as long as 100 miles with any problems.  I have a number of vehicles and I am selling some of my cars.

The car is in Fairport New York.  and I can be reached at 585-259-3958 with any questions.  I own a small used car dealership and the pictures were taken after it was detailed.
It will be fully detailed when you pick the vehicle up.  I own a  used car dealership, but this Volkswagen is my privately owned vehicle.  It is not dealership inventory.

Please do not bid unless you really have the money for the car and plan to arrange to pick it up.

I will need $500 on paypal within 48  hours and the rest in a certified bank check or cash.

There is no warranty with the vehicle.  But the mileage is true and the car runs great.

I will assist the shipper you arrange to pick the car to transport to your location.

Golf tees up new sales for VW

Sat, Sep 12 2015

If you consider the Passat and the CC two different lines, Volkswagen USA lists nine different models on its website, and they have sold a total of 238,074 units in the US this year through the end of August. The Golf, which was voted North American car of the year in 2015, and its variants account for 44,416 sales, an increase of nearly 150 percent compared to the same period last year. That's also the most Golfs ever sold in that time in the US, and almost 19 percent of this year's entire brand sales. This is compared to a compact car segment that has gained just 1.1 percent compared to 2014. A number of factors are responsible, according to a report in Automotive News: the MQB platform allows different powertrains to roll down the same assembly line; VW USA product planners can now configure vehicles to suit our market and they work with a selection of dealers to refine the retail offering; and the Golf maintains its proper European driving experience. The expanse of the Golf range has meant not only increased profits and new buyers, but more breadth in the buying demographic - expanding outward from the standard Golf to five different extremes, from the e-Golf to the Golf R. Room will be made for a new kind of consumer next year when the current Sportwagen model goes all-wheel drive with an Alltrack designation. Unsurprisingly, VW USA says, "Golf is a role model for the US for us. We want to learn from our success and implement those lessons in our future model planning." After decades of uneven effort, perhaps that formula plus a long-awaited range of crossovers can finally deliver on the promise of the US market. Related Video:

VW air rule violation allegations 'stunning,' $18B fine unlikely

Sat, Sep 19 2015

The big automotive news today was the US federal allegations that VW quietly and illegally installed software on approximately 482,000 diesel vehicles sold in the United States so that they would not return substandard results on government emissions tests. To say the least, this is potentially a very big deal. You can read the details of the government's allegations here. The problem seems to be with the NOx trap. Sam Abuelsamid, a former AutoblogGreen editor who is now a senior research analyst at Navigant Research's Transportation Efficiencies program, told me that there were some hints that VW's diesel emissions strategy had issues a while back. The vehicles affected by today's announcement are all equipped with the 2-liter, 4-cylinder TDI, he said. They all have the lean NOx (nitrogen oxides) trap, whereas all other current modern diesels use urea to treat NOx emissions. "When VW launched those vehicles, I went to the TDI launch program in Santa Monica and asked them if they were going to put the diesel engine into the Tiguan because that would be an ideal application," he said. "They said no, because it would be too heavy. Turns out, the NOx trap was enough to meet the emissions standards in the smaller cars, but not the Tiguan. That seems to be where the problem is, in the NOx trap. All the other big VW and Audi diesels, they use urea, just like BMW and Mercedes do." Abuelsamid added that, in California, to do an emissions test, testers don't stick a probe up the exhaust, as you would suspect. Instead, they just do a visual test to make sure nothing was tampered with and then plug a scanner into the OBD-II port to read the codes. The news today basically says that the cars were programmed to send out false codes, giving readings that testers are looking for instead of what's actually going on. "That's the background, as far as I know at this point," he said. This could be "a black eye on the auto industry." - John O'Dell Speaking at the AltCar Expo in Santa Monica just hours after the news first broke this morning, Edmunds.com's John O'Dell said the Fed's allegations were "stunning." The idea that VW might have gamed the system, he said, "underscores how important EPA clean air numbers are, that a company would allegedly stoop to this to try and meet them. Obviously, people are paying attention to that sort of thing.

VW launches cheaper 2016 e-Golf SE to challenge Nissan Leaf

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Volkswagen is taking the fight to Nissan in the battle of EV hatchbacks for the 2016 model year with the new, less expensive e-Golf SE trim level. With a starting price of $29,815 (after $820 for destination but before incentives), the model undercuts the $29,860 2015 Leaf S (after $850 destination) by just $45. Lease rates are $199 a month. The 2016 e-Golf SEL Premium is $150 more than last year at $36,415, making the difference between the two trims a significant $6,600. VW isn't letting out much of the info on the SE yet, and the company's release simply says the trim "offers most of the features of the SEL Premium model." The new entry does come standard with a 3.6-kW onboard charger, and a 7.2-kW DC fast charging package is optional later in the year. Inside, there's VW's 6.5-inch MIB II infotainment system, versus an eight-inch version in the SEL Premium with the company's Car-Net App-Connect and Travel Link. The e-Golf is rated at an 83-mile range by the EPA, and it's electric motor produces 115 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. The electric hatchback has already proven itself a moderate success in Europe through the first two months of 2015, and the VW actually beat the Leaf there in sales volume. In the US, the model has moved 1,831 examples through July, compared to 10,990 for the rival Nissan.
