Incredible Fuel Range!  The 14.5 gallon fuel tank means this car is rated by the EPA for 710 miles per tank.  We've heard of people getting even better mileage meaning this car will go even further!
This is the one you have been waiting for!
The perfect highway cruiser for your family!
 

Here's the car you've been waiting for!  If you've noticed these Beetle TDIs have become extremely rare to find on the open market!   Due to the rising fuel prices most of these car's owners have decided to hang on to them as these cars not only have some of the best mileage of any car on the market, but they also have one of the highest (we believe _the_ highest) fuel range of any car!  Don't be fooled.  I realize that Diesel is a little on the expensive side right now, but that's common for this time of the year!  This car gets on average twice the gas mileage of cars this size.  You can pay $4.00 for a gallon of Diesel to go 49 miles or spend $7.00 for two gallons of gasoline to go the same 49 miles.  That's why these cars are so popular.  Diesel would have to get a lot more expensive than regular gasoline to make this car unpractical!  VW Designed this car with an 14.5 gallon fuel tank!  Even going by the EPA fuel mileage estimates (49 highway) you can expect this car to get 710 miles to the tank.  If you keep the speed down it's been well known that this car will hit 50 miles per gallon which will give you even more increased mileage!  Granted you are not going to run this car until its completely empty each time which is what you'd have to do to see these numbers, but if you run it until the needle is pointing to empty you should have around two gallons left which means you can still go 612 miles between tanks.  Forget going 300-400 miles and having to fill up again!  Fill this car's tank and forget it (at least for 500-600 miles)!  This isn't your typical gas saving car that has a micro sized fuel tank!  You'll really love having the freedom of going so far between fill ups.  For people that don't drive far in their daily routine, that means a couple of weeks before you need to fill up again!
 

Here's a once and a lifetime opportunity to get yourself a very rare classic style, one owner Beetle TDI.  You can really see the well sculpted lines that this car offers.  It really has some character!  For years when you would say the word diesel people would instantly think of thick smoke, loud noise, and the horrible odor that you see from big trucks with diesel engines.  Volkswagen improved technology and made diesel technology cleaner, quieter, and odor free!  This diesel engine really doesn't share any of the characteristics that other diesels have.  You don't even have to wait before starting it.  It starts right up just like a gas engine!  Most people did not know about these innovations so the sales of these classic Beetle TDIs were very low making this car very hard to find!  Those of you that are looking for a truly incredible example of a Beetle in the TDI version are in luck!  We've got one right here for your consideration!
 

This is your golden opportunity to purchase that Beetle TDI that you've always been wanting!  This Beetle TDI comes to you in one of the most desirable color combination, Black with Beige leather on the inside, very attractive indeed!  This is the TDI turbo diesel version that is one of the cheapest Beetles to own as well as maintain. Its a well known fact that these engines last for hundreds of thousands of miles and still provide unbelievable gas mileage (around 50 mpg).  This is a one owner, non smoker, Texas car.  The car has a spotless history report! It's spent its entire life registered right here in Texas!  You don't have to worry about rust or corrosion like most of these cars which have been up north.  This one has spent its entire life right here in rust free Central Texas! We checked all around the car and found NO RUST and no indications the car will develop rust in the future!  This car may also have the lowest mileage in the country for a 2000 model with only 21,590 original miles on it.  That's simply incredible to have a TDI Diesel with only 21,000 miles on it!  Everything we've seen on the market has at least twice this mileage and commonly three to four times the mileage.  These cars get the best fuel mileage so naturally they're the first choice when it comes to being the car to drive which has led to most of these cars having plenty of mileage on them.  Not this one!  You can finally enjoy a TDI that has incredibly low mileage so you know that it will last you for many years and many hundreds of thousands of miles in the future!  You'll have a hard time finding anything that is a 2000 model of anything with 21k miles, much less the car of your dreams!  The car's life is just beginning to get started!
 

You can really enjoy this car as its still in its infancy.  With the proven reliability of these TDI engines behind this car and the quality German engineering of Volkswagen you know that this mileage is just the tip of the iceberg with this car.  Although you don't see them on the market often, there are plenty of proud VW owners that have these cars with 300,000, 400,000 or even 500,000 miles and they have absolutely no intention of selling them!  They're laughing to the bank with the thousands of dollars they've saved on gas over the years! You'll really be impressed with how nice the car is inside.  It still looks very good!  With the 5-speed manual transmission and cruise control, this would make a great highway car, or as a great around town car, even both!   You'll really be amazed by how nice the car's interior is!  The car really has been kept clean!  The a/c is very cold and the heat is hot.  All the windows, power locks, seats, power sunroof, and power mirrors work great!   It also has cruise control which makes those highway drives much easier. No warning lights remain illuminated on the dash after the vehicle is started, just as it should be!  The factory VW stereo has great sound.  What will really impress you is the car's exterior.  The paint still looks nice and shiny.  The interior of the car is also in beautiful condition showing only the most minimal wear! The factory wheels are beautiful and are matched to a set of tires that are nearly new and still have most of their tread remaining.  As a special bonus you get all the car's books!
 

So how does it drive?   You'll be very pleased with how well this car has been kept.  It still drives wonderfully!  The suspension is tight, the car hugs the turns and absorbs the bumps just as it did when it was new.  You'll be completely blown away when you drive this car and feel how nice it still is!  We're very confident that this car will last for many more years and miles of driving pleasure.  The brakes stop the car evenly and effectively just as they should.  The car's Turbo Diesel engine still runs great.  It's very quick to start when cold weather its sitting overnight or for a couple of days! It still runs very smoothly.  It has great pickup and great acceleration at both low and highway speeds.   This has to be the quickest diesel I've ever driven.  It has great pickup and great acceleration at both low and highway speeds.  You will have no trouble passing slower traffic in this car.  Unlike other cars, you don't have to sacrifice performance to get good fuel economy!  This car has no trouble getting up to highway speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour in a very reasonable time!  The turbo is still kicking in wonderfully making this gas saver have some very reasonable power.  The 5-speed manual transmission shifts very smooth, just as it should.  The clutch still feels great! All the lights work great.  You'll really be pleased with the overall quality of this car when you get in it and drive it!  It runs and drives just as you'd expect with only 21,000 miles on it!
 

You will have a very hard time finding a car that's this nice for such little money.  This car is really a value with a selling price well below any guidebook's standards.  This would make a great car for anyone, being a highway driver or a car to get around town.  These classic body style Beetle TDIs are incredibly hard to find, and needless to say that with this kind of low mileage (21,000!) they are virtually impossible to find!  We believe you'll never again get a chance to purchase a Beetle TDI with this kind of low mileage!  These cars provide an incredible amount of room while providing unmatched fuel economy!  This really is a great car for anyone!  With gas prices on the rise, this car will demonstrate its great value time and time again every time you come up to the pump and fill up.  As you probably know these cars are getting snapped up quickly when they hit the market.  The general public is starting to realize what VW owners have known for over 10 years!   The TDI simply is the best deal out there!  Very soon you won't see any more of these Beetle TDI models on the market.  They'll all be snapped up by people who intend to "drive them until the wheels fall off".  Of course wheels falling off on these rock solid cars seldomly happens if ever, but you get the idea.  The reserve is low and we anticipate it being met well before the end of the auction.  That's right, we actually plan on selling this fine car at the end of the auction.   With experts predicting that gas prices will only go up as time goes on, this car will demonstrate its great value time and time again.  These cars don't come around every day!  In fact, this is the only classic body style Beetle TDI we've seen in a very long time and it'll probably be one of the last ones we have judging by how quickly these cars are getting snapped up!  You'll really see the benefit of getting a car that's a one owner.  When someone pays the full sticker price for the car they tend to take steps to make sure that the car stays in good condition while they're driving it as they remember what the car looked like when it was brand new!  This one really shows that an effort was made to keep this car in beautiful condition!  Bid early and follow the auction to the end, don't let another bidder with a couple of quick clicks of the mouse in the final minutes of the auction take your dream car away from you!  Don't settle for second best, get the car of your dreams and the luxury you deserve!  You will not be disappointed!  Don't let this wonderful opportunity pass you by!

Audi will submit emissions fix for 3.0 TDI V6 to EPA and CARB

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Audi will develop a software update for the emissions control system on Volkswagen Group's 3.0 TDI V6 and will submit the changes to the Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board for approval. If the government regulators accept it, the tweaks could end the emissions problems for an estimated 85,000 of these engines in the US in Audi, Porsche, and VW models. However, the stop-sale still covers these vehicles until further notice. Audi admits in its statement to failing to disclose three "auxiliary emission control devices" on the V6 to regulators, and US law considers one of these systems a defeat device. VW Group offered the engine in the US on the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7 since the 2009 model year. The mill was also available on the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. The EPA filed a violation against the 3.0 TDI on November 2 because the agency reported that the engine's software contained a defeat device to circumvent emissions tests. The regulator recently extended that notice to cover these powerplants in the US from the 2009 to 2016 model years. Audi's statement vaguely estimates the price of this problem to be in the "mid-double-digit millions of euros," and the automaker could face financial punishment by regulators. "Determinations regarding potential penalties and other remedies will be assessed as part of the investigation EPA has opened in conjunction with the US Department of Justice," an EPA spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video: Statement on Audi's discussions with the US environmental authorities EPA and CARB Auxiliary emission control devices (AECD) for US version of V6 TDI 3 liter engine to be revised, documented and submitted for approval Technical solution for North America versions from 2009 model year onwards to be worked out in conjunction with the authorities Audi will revise, document in detail, and resubmit for US approval certain parameters of the engine-management software used in the V6 TDI 3 liter diesel engine. That is the result of the discussions held between a delegation from AUDI AG and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The updated software will be installed as soon as it is approved by the authorities. The three brands Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen are affected. Audi estimates that the related expense will be in the mid-double-digit millions of euros.

VW has received several tentative bids for Ducati

Thu, Jul 20 2017

Italy's Benetton family is vying with motorbike firms and buyout funds for control of Italian motorcycle brand Ducati, which is being sold by Germany's Volkswagen, sources involved in the process told Reuters. Volkswagen, whose Audi division controls Ducati, has received several tentative bids with the Benetton family's investment vehicle Edizione Holding valuing the Monster motorbike maker at $1.2 billion, one of the sources said. As well as Edizione Holding, U.S. buyout fund Bain Capital, which owns a stake in Ski-Doo snowmobiles maker BRB, and two Indian motorbike firms, Eicher Motors and Bajaj Auto, have also bid for Ducati, the sources said. Indian carmaker Eicher controls Royal Enfield, a motorcycle brand established in 1893 which ranks as one of the oldest. Strategic bidders also include U.S. automotive firm Polaris Industries, which earlier this year said it would wind down its struggling Victory Motorcycle brand. A shortlist of bidders for a second stage of the auction could be selected as soon as Saturday, two of the sources said. Volkswagen adviser Evercore has a long list of bidders including private equity funds such as Ducati's previous owner Investindustrial, CVC Capital Partners, Advent and PAI, all hoping to outbid industry players, the sources said. If it gets to the second round, Edizione Holding could seek to form a consortium with a financial investor, two of the sources said, in a bid to secure control of Ducati, whose racers have won the Superbike world championship 14 times, with Carl Fogarty and Troy Bayliss its most successful riders. Audi, Edizione Holding, Investindustrial, Advent and PAI declined to comment, while the other interested groups were not immediately available for comment. PRICING CHALLENGES For some buyout funds, Ducati's valuation of up to $1.4 billion – which sources said is based on a multiple of more than 10 times its core earnings of roughly 100 million euros – is a tall order as they lack the synergies that some motorbike makers could achieve. But Investindustrial founder Andrea Bonomi, who sold Ducati to Audi for about 860 million euros in 2012, is serious about a comeback, one of the sources said. China's Loncin Motor was among a group of industry players that initially showed interest in Ducati, alongside Harley-Davidson. The latter has, however, decided against making a bid due to Ducati's price tag, while it could not be established if Loncin Motor had carried on bidding.

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs

Thu, Jun 3 2021

We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons: Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain — like Toyota — do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis: 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy   2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.
