Hi everyone, and thanks for checking out my Beetle.

First, I want to get the bad news out of the way-this Beetle needs a new engine. It gave out on me while I was driving down Interstate 80. NOT a fun experience. If you're familiar with this cars, then you'll know that the engine is pretty easy to replace, and longblocks (and even complete) engines are pretty cheap. On the plus side, the engine has a lot of decent, usable parts still on it. I took off the oil filter, and some of the hoses, but I didn't take out anything else. Its all there, albeit frozen. The front left and right wheel well could stand to be replaced as well. The right is a bit worse than the left. I never replaced them because I don't have the workspace to do it in. There is also a bit of surface rust where the running board meets the right wheel well, but its not rot. Some of the rubber also needs to be replaced, specifically the front trunk and the rear deck lid rubber.

Now on to the good news-this car is pretty solid for being 40+ years old. The body is in good shape, without much rust. There's no rust around the crescent vents, which is a pretty rare thing for this part of the country, and which can be a hassle to properly fix. And, the floor pans were replaced by the previous owner. I couldn't get a good picture of them, but they're like new. There's some surface rust here and there, but I couldn't find any major rot anywhere.
The interior is also pretty nice. No major rust, though there is some carpet glue, and the headliner could stand to be replaced. The front seats are in good shape, and the backseat, while it has some tears, has a replacement cover. I just never got around to replacing it, since it was only ever me and my girlfriend. I never had much of a use for the backseat, so it didn't get much attention. I also replaced the front seat belts and latches with a 3-point retractable kit from Wolfsburg West, and the windshield wiper arms with a modern replacement from Jbugs. They take standard wiper blades, so no more expensive, stock blades.

All the glass is present, and in good shape. Some of it has some fog, but none of it needs replaced.

I do have a few things that set this Beetle apart from others here on Ebay-I have the original window sticker. The first owner kept it, and gave it to the next owner, who gave it to me when I bought the car. I also have the original owners manual, showing maintenence stamps all the way through 30,000 miles. But, what really sets this Beetle apart is the records that come with it. I have all the records of parts that the previous owner bought, as well as ones I've bought, so you know exactly what you're getting. I also have a couple boxes of spare parts, including some chrome trim, spare running boards, various cables, and a spare 34 Pict-3 carburetor. I'm also including a floor jack that I bought for the car, as well as four jack stands, and two collapsible wheel blocks.

Just to sum it up:
The car needs a new engine, but has plenty of usable parts on it.
The car itself is in good shape, without any of the problematic rust issues in places like the crescent vents
Lots of records and spare parts to go along with the car.

I think that pretty well sums it up. I'd love to hold on to this car, but I'm a college student, and I just don't have the space to work on it. So, it's time to send it off, and let someone have it who will properly take care of it.

I will require a $400 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the auction ending, with the remainder paid within a week. The buyer is also responsible for shipping the car, which needs to be done within a month of the auction ending. That's when I'm moving, and I don't want to move it to my new apartment. If you have any questions, or want any additional info or pictures, drop me a message letting me know, and I'll do whatever I can.

Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.

Rivian R1T, Mini Cooper Electric owners happiest with their EVs

Tue, Feb 28 2023

The J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study is out, and there's change at the top. With the swelling adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. over in the past two years especially, the third year of the EVX study changes focus to first-time EV buyers. Those two factors encouraged change at the top of both premium and mass-market segments. Among premium EVs, the Rivian R1T pickup scored overall victory in its first year of eligibility with a satisfaction score of 794 out of 1,000. The Tesla Model 3 takes second place with 759 points. Tesla had won the top two premium spots in the study in 2021 and in 2022. The average score in the premium segment was 756. The Tesla Model Y (754), Audi E-Tron (735), and Polestar 2 (724) filled out the list of the five eligible models this year. Among the ten eligible mass-market vehicles, the Mini Cooper Electric nabbed the overall win by scoring 782. The Kia EV6 came second with 762 points, keeping Kia in the top two; the Kia Niro EV won the mass-market segment the previous two years. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (742), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (738), and Volkswagen ID.4 (735) completed the top five, the Niro EV (733) in sixth. All were above the segment average of 730. The four models fell below the segment average were the Ford F-150 Lightning (723), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (716), Chevrolet Bolt (711), and Nissan Leaf (698). How are the scores derived? J.D. Power worked with EV app maker and research firm PlugShare to get owner responses in ten areas: accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability. Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at J.D. Power, said, "Recent vehicle launches from both new brands and traditional automakers have had a profound effect on what factors are most important in the ownership experience. Today’s EV owners are looking for quality, reliability, driving enjoyment, safety and technology features." The Mini, in fact, scored highest of any premium and mass-market EV in the studyÂ’s highest-weighted index factor, quality and reliability.
