THESE NEW BEETLES ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CARS.  THE BEST SMALL CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN.  THEY FEEL LIKE A MID-SIZE CAR INSIDE; THEY'RE FUEL EFFICIENT WITHOUT BEING GUTLESS; THEY'RE SOLID; AND VOLKSWAGENS ARE THE MOST REASONABLY PRICED GERMAN CARS! I LIKE THEM  SO MUCH  THAT I BOUGHT 2 OF THEM.  I ALSO OWN MINI COOPERS AND A FIAT 500.  THE NEW 2012 STYLE BEETLE IS THE OVERALL BEST IN MY OPINION.

 

DESCRIPTION:    2012 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2.5L AUTOMATIC. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AT LEWISVILLE VOLKSWAGEN IN THE DALLAS AREA, MAY 3, 2012 AS A BRAND NEW CAR. 

YES, CAR IS BLUETOOTH EQUIPPED

I IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED MY LONG-STANDING TRADITION OF IMPROVING ON THE FACTORY BUILD.   

SPECIFICALLY:

1) I TOOK THE BLACK FINISHED "HERITAGE" WHEELS (WHICH BY THE WAY ARE NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON LATE '13s AND '14s)  AND SENT THEM OUT TO BE TRIPLE CHROME PLATED.    WHEN THEY GOT BACK I LIKED THE LOOK OF THE BASIC HERITAGE WHEEL, SO I FOUND A SUITABLE CENTER CAP FROM ANOTHER TYPE OF VW WHEEL, AND SHOW THE CAR THIS WAY. I DO HAVE THE LARGE CENTER CAPS AND TRIM RINGS. BUT, MY RATIONALE IS WHY PUT PLASTIC CHROME PLATED  STUFF OVER CHROMED ALUMINUM WHEELS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY LOOK LIKE THIS!

2) INSTALLED RETRO WIDE-WHITEWALL RADIAL TIRES.  THEY ARE THE "REAL" THING, NOT SOME BUFFED OR GRAFTED ON WHITEWALL. THEY'RE FROM AMERICAN CLASSICS OF COKER TIRE.

3) TOOK THE FLAT BLACK PLASTIC CENTER FRONT GRILLE, AND SIDE CORNERING LIGHT ASSEMBLIES (THE SIDE GRILLES) AND HAD THEM  CHROME PLATED.  NOT CHROME SPRAY PAINT, THESE ARE THE REAL THING. CHROME PLATED BY THE ONE COMPANY IN THE USA THAT'LL DO IT.    MEGABUCKS! 

4) FACTORY CHROME MIRROR CAPS WEREN'T AVAILABLE, NEITHER WERE CHROME DOOR HANDLES. THESE WERE ALSO CHROME PLATED.  THEY'RE NOT STICK ON TOPPERS. THEY'RE THE REAL, VW THING. ONLY BETTER, 'CAUSE THEY'RE CHROME PLATED.

5) CHROME VW FACTORY EXHAUST FINISHERS;

6) CHROME "AIR SCOOPS" (AS A NOD TO THE ORIGINAL VW BEETLES)

7) CHROME VOLKSWAGEN SCRIPT AND CHROME BEETLE SCRIPT.  EACH  ONE OF THESE EMBLEMS IS $60

8) CAR ALSO HAS FACTORY MONSTER MATS, CARGO BLOCKS, CARGO COMPARTMENT MAT, FIRST AID KIT.

9) I HAD TO ADD THE FACTORY CENTER ARMREST BETWEEN THE SEATS; NON-TURBOS DIDN'T COME WITH IT;  THAT COST $600.00! 

10) CAR HAS "VIN ETCH" WHERE PARTS ARE ETCHED WITH THE VIN (ANTI-THEFT)                                 

 

WHAT IT COST:

SELLING PRICE OF CAR:   $22149.00

CHROME PLATING OF WHEELS:   $1500.00

WIDE WHITEWALL TIRES:  $1500.00

CHROME PLATING OF FRONT END PARTS AND MIRRORS/DOOR HANDLES:  $2000.00

CHROME EMBLEMS:   $260.00  CENTER ARMREST $600.00

THIS CAR COST $28,009.00 TO BUILD LIKE THIS.

I'LL SELL IT FOR $19,900.00

THAT'S $8,109.00 LESS THAN IT COST ME; AND JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S A 2012. THE CONDITION IS EVERY BIT AS "NEW" AS A 2014 ON YOUR DEALER'S FLOOR RIGHT NOW.

SO NO, I WON'T SELL IT FOR WHOLESALE BOOK.  IT'S NOT A WHOLESALE PIECE; IT'S NOT A COMMON USED BEETLE.  BLUEBOOK AVERAGES DON'T APPLY TO CUSTOMIZED CARS. THE PERSON WHO'LL BUY THIS CAR WILL UNDERSTAND THAT.

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS  YOU SHOULD READ IT SO THERE ARE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS!

1) PRICE IS FOR THE CAR, AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, TITLE TRANSFER FEES, REGISTRATION OR LICENSE FEES. 

2) VEHICLE IS SOLD STRICTLY "AS-IS" AND "WHERE-IS".  I AM A PRIVATE PERSON SELLING HIS OWN PERSONAL VEHICLE.   THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS A VALID FACTORY VOLKSWAGEN WARRANTY; THE REMAINDER OF 3 YR/ 36,000 MILES.  DELIVERY DATE WAS 05/03/12;  CURRENT MILES ARE 4,300.  YOU CAN DO THE MATH.   VW EXTENDED WARRANTIES ARE EASY TO BUY AND A GREAT THING; IF YOU WANT TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AT A GOOD COST I CAN PUT YOU IN CHARGE WITH A NICE GUY AT THE VW DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM. 

3) I WARRANT THE CAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF IT. (REMEMBER IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW).  NO ACCIDENTS, HAIL, FLOOD, FIRE, ETC. THE CARFAX WILL TESTIFY TO THAT.   BESIDES THAT STATEMENT, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE TO THE BUYER; THE FACTORY I STILL ON THE HOOK FOR THAT!

4) VEHICLE MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS (TOTAL DAYS, NOT BUSINESS DAYS) OF YOUR DECISION TO BUY-IT-NOW. 

5) PAYMENT MUST BE BY BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR BANK CASHIER'S CHECK ON KNOWN BANK.

6) VW CREDIT HOLDS TITLE TO THE VEHICLE.  SO HERE'S HOW IT WORKS;  YOU'LL PAY FOR THE CAR; WHEN YOUR MONEY CLEARS MY BANK YOU TAKE THE CAR; WE'LL HAVE A NOTARIZED AGREEMENT WHICH STATES THAT YOU'LL GET THE TITLE AS SOON AS I HAVE RECEIVED IT FROM VW CREDIT.  ALL LEGAL AND UPFRONT.  ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT CALL ME.   NEED A REFERENCE THAT I'M A PERSON OF INTEGRITY? NO PROBLEM. GLAD TO SUPPLY IT.

7) VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT HORSESHOE BAY, TEXAS.  JUST ONE HOUR WEST OF AUSTIN IN BEAUTIFUL HIGHLAND LAKES AREA OF THE HILL COUNTRY.  HORSESHOE BAY IS A WORLD-CLASS OUTDOOR RECREATION RESORT COMMUNITY.  GREAT GOLF, TENNIS, BOATING.  WE HAVE A MARRIOTT RESORT IN THIS SMALL TOWN OF 5000. 

IF YOU WANT ME TO PERSONALLY DELIVER THE CAR, THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION; IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHAT I'D HAVE TO CHARGE YOU.  VEHICLE WOULD OF COURSE HAVE TO BE PAID FOR FIRST, AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO INSURE IT ON YOUR POLICY.  WE CAN TALK ABOUT DELIVERY IF NEED BE. 

ONE FINAL NOTE: THERE ALWAYS SEEM TO BE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO FEEL IT'S THEIR BIRTHRIGHT TO  COMMENT (UNSOLICITED) ON WHY THEY FEEL A SELLER'S PRICE IS TOO HIGH.  TO THOSE FOLKS I SAY THIS;  KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF; I'VE BEEN IN THE CAR BUSINESS FOR 4 DECADES NOW AND........"I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE".   BOTTOM LINE IS, IT'S MY CAR, AND THE PRICE LISTED IS WHAT IT IS. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WHOLESALER, GO GET YOUR DEALER'S LICENSE AND GO TO A WHOLESALE AUTO AUCTION.  THIS IS A CAR THAT WILL BE SOLD ON A RETAIL BASIS.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market

Wed, Oct 30 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.

BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes

Sun, 06 Jan 2013

The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
