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

    CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

    Mon, 03 Sep 2012


    After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
    "We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

    VW makes $9.2B offer for rest of truckmaker Scania

    Sun, 23 Feb 2014

    Volkswagen owns or has controlling interests in three commercial truck operations: besides its own, VW began buying shares in Sweden's Scania in 2000 and now controls 89.2 percent of its shares and 62.6 percent of its capital, then bought into Germany's Man in 2006 - in order to prevent Man from trying to take over Scania - and now owns 75 percent of it. The car company has managed to work out 200 million euros in savings, but believes it can unlock a total of 650 million euros in savings if it takes outright control of Scania and can spread more common parts among the three divisions.
    It has proposed a 6.7-billion-euro ($9.2 billion) buyout, but according to a Bloomberg report, Scania's minority investors don't appear inclined to the deal. Although effectively controlled by VW, Scania is an independently-listed Swedish company, and a profitable one at that: in the January-September 2013 period its operating profit was 9.4 percent compared to Man's 0.4 percent. Some of the other shareholders believe that Scania is better off on its own and will not approve the deal, some have asked an auditor to look into the potential conflict of interest between VW and Man, while some are willing to examine the deal and "make an evaluation based on what a long-term owner finds is good," which might not be just "the stock market price plus a few percent." The buyout will only be official assuming VW can reach the 90-percent share threshold that Swedish law mandates for a squeeze-out.
    Many of the arguments against boil down to investors believing that Scania's Swedishness and unique offerings are what keep it profitable, and ownership by the German car company will kill that. (Have we heard that somewhere before?) If Volkswagen can buy that additional 0.8-percent share in Scania, perhaps its buyout wrangling with Man will give it an idea of what it's in for: "dozens" of minority investors in the German truckmaker have filed cases against VW, seeking higher prices for their shares. It is likely only to delay the inevitable, though. If VW is really going to compete with Daimler and Volvo in the truck market, it has to get the size, clout and savings to do so.

    The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start.

    According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
