Everybody loves a BUG...everywhere it goes, it draws attention and makes people smile. The most important aspect for one to consider if they plan to restore a BUG is rust. Aspect negated...there is NO RUST here... The BUG is worthy of a restoration. Parts are inexpensive, readily available and these are among the easiest of cars to work on. Any novice could undertake this as it would make a great individual, father/son or mother/daughter project. You are bidding to purchase the BUG, not to be the first to "look at it". Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. It's a low dough car...one that shouldn't require permission. Thank you. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. I have set a reasonable reserve for the BUG. It is commensurate with the condition, ownership history and low miles. Please do not ask what the reserve is, I will not disclose it. Again, this is an inexpensive car. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the "classic" 1965 VW Sunroof BUG that you see before you. The VW and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. While I am confident that the BUG could be driven home to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving it home. Old cars are just that...old cars. Miles from home is not the place to become acquainted with your "new" old car. Get it home first. With that said, if you choose to drive it home, I can't stop you, and I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. * Important Condition: If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, excessive negative feedback, or less than 10 quality transactions (yeah, that order of PEEPS won't count), you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions, otherwise, your bid will be canceled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to preserve the integrity of the auction. My experience is that if one has little feedback, there is no incentive to fulfill a purchase commitment, for negative feedback is of no concern to this individual. The people that are regular ebayer's care about their buying/seller's rating(s). Thank you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal, no exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter, under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance, as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire amount, however, ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the initial payment fee. (approx. $30.00 per $1000.00) eBay provides for only 24 pictures, I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message, and I will return your call promptly. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Be thinking in the $5500-$6500 range. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. If the VW is destined to leave the country, I have shipped numerous times abroad and have contacts to assist in facilitating this. The VW and title will not be released until full payment has been received. I am not a dealer, I am a collector hobbyist that is downsizing. 100% eBay satisfaction, those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased with their cars, their expectations exceeded. Clear Colorado title in my name. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid on this 50 year old "classic" VW BUG! Jeff (719)-492-1234,c |

French probe alleges 2 million PSA cars had engine cheats
Fri, Sep 8 2017PARIS — A French investigation into alleged emissions cheating by PSA Group found that suspect software had been used on almost 2 million vehicles sold by the maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars, Le Monde reported on Friday. Paris-based PSA denies any use of fraudulent engine software, a spokesman said in response to the newspaper report, which sent PSA shares sharply lower. The stock was down 4.4 percent at 17.78 euros as of 1019 GMT. So-called "defeat devices" restrict exhaust output of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) under regulatory test conditions while letting emissions far exceed legal limits in real-world driving. In February, PSA became the fourth carmaker to be referred to French prosecutors by the country's DGCCRF watchdog over suspected emissions test-cheating, after Volkswagen, Renault and Fiat Chrysler. PSA's engineering chief acknowledged at the time that emissions treatment in the group's diesels was deliberately reduced at higher temperatures to improve fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in out-of-town driving, where NOx output is considered less critical. According to Le Monde, an internal PSA document obtained by DGCCRF investigators includes discussion of the need to "make the 'defeat device' aspect less obvious and visible." However PSA insists there is nothing fraudulent or illegal about its engine calibrations. "PSA denies any fraud and firmly reaffirms the pertinence of its technology decisions," the company said on Friday.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
