1964 Volkswagen Beetle/bug/convertible/cabriolet California Classic on 2040-cars
Emeryville, California, United States
|
I had been chasing this old man in his VW around town for years. When I finally bought this car, the house painters had got it! We travelled to a rough part of town and made the deal with a very nice fellow. My partner drove this car home on the freeway with no second thoughts. The man had replaced the carburator and alternator and this is the best running buggy we have ever had. It's still a project, a project you can drive around on the freeway is better than one you can only push around your garage. We are cruising this one around as we right this ad and it's a wonderful sunny day in Northern California. The buggy can pop out of first gear and it's not that hard to keep it in gear when you decelerate, that's when the problem happens. It used to be red on red and the current color I call Aquafresh after the toothpaste maker. There is some body filler and dents and some stains on the paint job. Overall it's a very cool car. Are you ready to have a fun summer. Surf boards not included. Please check out our feedback. We try to honor every deal and treat everyone fairly. This car is sold as is, with no refunds full or partial.
Thanks for checking us out. Harris. |

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
