See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Brake lights are not working. All other lights work. A Mechanic told me because the other lights work that the brake light switch needs to be replaced. Beetle could use a tune up. The beetle has been parked in my garage for 5 years and only driven during the summer on nice days and for car shows. I put a half tank of gas in it but, I think there is still old fuel in it. There is a small surface scratch on the right side just in front of the rear fender. It is about an inch long and just on the surface. It is so small that I could not get a picture of it. The seats are all in good shape but do have some small stains. Where the header and exhaust exit out the right rear, the rear panel gets hot and I can see the paint starting to bubble. It is not peeling but you can see when the exhaust is hot that the paint lifts upward. It is a spot the size of a silver dollar. If I were to keep it, I would route the exhaust out the rear center. The car is over 40 years old so it is not perfect."

You are bidding on my wife's 1969 VW Beetle coupe. I bought it from a Marine Officer who said it spent most of its life in Arizona before he transferred to North Carolina. Solid floor pans and all around solid car. I had the beetle painted about 5 years ago which cost me about $2,000.00. I painted it for my wife and it is called Hawaiian Hibiscus Red. It looks like a dark candy apple red. I replaced chrome including chrome running boards. Headliner is in great shape. The dash pad is new and replaced a couple years ago. The wheels are chrome VW rims with VW moon caps. Tires are still like new. The odometer reads 20,000 so, I think it is 120,000 miles. The Marine Officer said he rebuilt the engine when he bought it in 2001. I bought this car with the intent to do a ground up restoration for my wife. Due to military deployments the beetle sat in the garage most of the time and I just do not have the time to devote to it. I want it to go to someone that will enjoy a classic VW.   

Brake lights are not working. All other lights work. A Mechanic told me because the other lights work that the brake light switch needs to be replaced. Beetle could use a tune up. This beetle is 44 years old and does drip a few drops of oil after running but, does not leak constantly. The beetle has been parked in my garage for over 5 years and only driven during the summer on nice days and for car shows. I put a half tank of gas in it recently but, I think there is still old fuel in it. There is a small surface scratch on the right side just in front of the right rear fender. It is about an inch long and just on the surface. It is so small that I could not get a picture of it. Drivers door could use some adjusting. It is a little hard to close. The seats are all in good shape with no rips but, do have some small stains. Where the header and exhaust exit out the right rear, the rear panel gets hot and I can see the paint starting to bulge up. It is not peeling but you can see when the exhaust is hot that the paint lifts upward. It is a spot the size of a silver dollar. If I were to keep it, I would route the exhaust out the rear center. The car is over 40 years old so it is not perfect.

I know that I probably forgot something. I do have the VW Beetle listed locally and reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. 

I am happy to answer all your questions.You are welcome to come view the car or have a mechanic inspect it for you. I am available for questions via Ebay email.  I have 100% feed back so, bid with confidence. 

Clear title and I am not looking for any trades. Bidders with 0 feedbacks will be cancelled. A $500.00 deposit (non-refundable) is due after the auction ends. Balance to paid in cash prior to transfer of ownership. 

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Bosch fuel pumps spark recall of 2015 Golf, GTI and Audi A3

Tue, Apr 28 2015

A few weeks ago, BMW and Nissan both issued recalls for some of their vehicles to replace Bosch-supplied fuel pumps. The pumps had nickel plating that could flake off and cause a failure. Volkswagen Group is the latest automaker to be affected by the problem and has a campaign for the 2015 Audi A3, VW Golf and GTI. In total, 6,204 units of these models are in need of repair. The problem with the VW Group vehicles is identical to the previous recalls. It's possible for the pump's nickel plating to come off and cause increased friction. Eventually, this can result in the component's failure. According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF, here), there are no reports of accidents or injuries from this issue in the VW Group models. Bosch spokesperson Linda Beckmeyer tells Autoblog that these vehicles don't all necessary share an identical fuel pump, but the parts all use the same plating process. The problem also prompted repairs of the 2014 Ford Escape several months ago, she indicated. When asked if the issue could prompt more campaigns, Beckmeyer said that she "can't speak to that" because automakers decide on the recalls. Owners should receive notice of the problem soon, but according to the NHTSA documentation, there currently aren't enough pumps to fix all of these vehicles. "Bosch is working closely with automakers regarding replacement parts," Beckmeyer said. When available, dealers will replace the components free of charge for affected customers.

SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing. CONSEQUENCE: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any affected fuel pumps, free of charge.
