I purchased this VW Beetle Turbo S new in March, 2003, from Archer Volkswagen in Houston, Texas. It has been maintained by authorized Volkswagen dealers according to the prescribed maintenance schedule and has never been smoked in. I have all records and manuals for the car, including all maintenance documents and records of all gasoline and incidental expenses, as well as two remote keys and one valet key. EPA mileage estimates were 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway. My typical gas mileage has been in the 26-28 mpg range. Current odometer reading is 105,500 - approximately 85% highway miles. Exterior is in superb condition with no dents or dings and paint that shines like new (see pictures). The tires are the same model Michelin as original equipment with plenty of tread left. Interior is excellent, showing a bit more wear than exterior but still very fine (also see pictures). It would be difficult to find a better example of this model. I would not hesitate to get in and drive it across the country tomorrow.

The AutoCheck score for this vehicle is 80. (Similar vehicles typically range from 34-58.)

The Turbo S model was a limited production edition added to the Volkswagen lineup in 2002 and sold until 2004. It was offered in four colors (silver, red, black, and platinum gray). The front and rear wear model-specific facia (supposedly designed by Porsche) and it was equipped with 17-in alloy wheels with 225/45 Michelin tires. The interiors were all identical with black leather sport seats with gray leather inserts. The door panels also have inserts of this gray leather. The upgraded interior included stainless steel pedals and aluminum accents on the shift knob and steering wheel. The dash lighting was white on black (a change from the attractive-but-hard-to-read blue and red of the standard models). The biggest changes were under the surface. The already excellent 1.8 liter 20-valve turbocharged 4 cylinder was upgraded with higher boost and different computer mapping to produce 180 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque (up from 150 and 162 on regular turbo models). All were equipped with a precise-shifting 6-sp manual transmission (a first for US Volkswagens) and upgraded sport suspension and brakes. Turbo S models came fully equipped with no options available. Standard equipment included air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, ESP (also a first for US Volkswagens), ABS, leather upholstery, heated seats and mirrors, power moonroof, power automatic rear spoiler, and an 8-speaker Monsoon sound system (in 2003 this came with a cassette player, though a Volkswagen CD radio will slide right in or a CD changer can be easily added). The end result was a big improvement in the fun-to-drive factor and a car that is very stable on the highway, handles securely on curvy roads and feels quicker than it actually is.

Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. I may be able to assist with making arrangements for shipping at my discretion but will not be responsible for the vehicle once it is on the truck. I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible. This is, of course, a used car, and no one can predict the future. The vehicle is sold as is, where is and there is no warranty on this vehicle, express or implied. Feel free to ask any questions I may not have answered above.

Major automakers urge Trump not to freeze fuel economy targets

Mon, May 7 2018

WASHINGTON — Major automakers are telling the Trump administration they want to reach an agreement with California to avoid a legal battle over fuel efficiency standards, and they support continued increases in mileage standards through 2025. "We support standards that increase year over year that also are consistent with marketplace realities," Mitch Bainwol, chief executive of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing major automakers, will tell a U.S. House of Representatives panel on Tuesday, according to written testimony released on Monday. The Trump administration is weighing how to revise fuel economy standards through at least the 2025 model year, and one option is to propose freezing the standards through 2026, effectively allowing automakers to delay investments in technology to cut greenhouse gas emissions from burning petroleum. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not formally submitted its joint proposal with the Environmental Protection Agency to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review. Even so, last week, California and 16 other states sued to challenge the Trump administration's decision to revise U.S. vehicle rules. Auto industry executives have held meetings with the Trump administration for months and have urged the administration to try to reach a deal with California even as they support slowing the pace of reduction in carbon dioxide emissions that the Obama administration rules outlined. One automaker official said part of the message to President Donald Trump at a meeting on Friday will be to consider California like a foreign trade deal that needs to be renegotiated. Automakers want to urge him to get automakers a "better deal" Â— as opposed to potentially years of litigation between major states and federal regulators. On Friday, Trump is set to meet with the chief executives of General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and the top U.S. executives of at least five other major automakers, including Toyota, Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG, to talk about revisions to the vehicle rules. Senior EPA and Transportation Department officials will also attend. Environmental groups are eager to keep the rules in place, saying they will save consumers billions in fuel costs. A coalition of groups plans to stage a protest outside Ford's headquarters in Michigan.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
