Hello,

I have a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle, strong runner and solid car. I'm not in a rush to sell, I'm just testing the market. I have replaced just about everything on the car. Could use a little carb tuning at the moment since the temperature just plunged. I am very interested in trades. Make an offer trade or cash. No low ballers. This is a clean car and I don't have to sell. Trades must be manual transmission, highly preferably German made. Text or call 224-622-0137 from 10am-10pm.

New parts and work I've done:
-New carb
-New cap and rotor
-New and adjusted points
-New Bosch wires
-New battery for winter
-New tires
-Valves adjusted regularly just as they should be every 3000 miles or so
-12" CVR series Kicker Sub
-Two new 6-1/2" Kenwood speakers and Sony tweeters
-Rockford Fosgate amp
-Kenwood head unit with aux input and sub pre-outs
-New floor pans
-New clutch cable and adjustment
-New gas tank recently
-New spark plugs
-New Fuel pump
-New air filter
-New fuel filter
-New seats
-New alternator
-New starter
-There's more, but this is all I can think of at the moment

It needs:
-New speedo
-Carb adjustment (i'm in the process right now)
-Glove box knob

    Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014

    Fri, 11 Jan 2013

    Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
    The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
    As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.

    Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

    Thu, 17 Jan 2013

    A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
    Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
    Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

    2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]

    Mon, 11 Mar 2013

    World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
    Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
    First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
