1999 Volkswagen Beetle Gls Tdi on 2040-cars
Chula Vista, California, United States
1999 VW Beetle with just under 102,000 miles for sale, clear title in hand. Great car for commuting!. I've been averaging about 44mpg with mostly city driving which is right in the middle of the EPA estimate. My car is very clean both inside and out as you can see in the photos. On the inside there are some scratches on the top of the driver's side doorsill as well as some creases in the headliner from when I replaced it. The exterior is in good shape and the paint polishes up nicely. I was unable to get a good photo but there is a small dent on the driver's side door as well as some light scuff marks on the leading edge of the bumper. The racing stripes are vinyl decals and are easy to remove if they are not to your liking.
This car is in great mechanical condition. I just drove it cross-country with no issues. The AC blows cold and the heat is hot. It starts up quickly even when it's cold outside (glow plugs are good).
Specs:
-5 spd manual
-Power windows
-Power locks with remote
-Cruise control
-Tilt/telescoping wheel
-Alpine Stereo with bluetooth, USB, and satellite ready
-Class 1 hitch for a back rack
Recent maintenance:
-Timing belt and water pump was replaced last June at 94k miles (This is just about the only major periodic maintenance item required for this engine)
-Battery replaced last June
-Transmission Gear oil replaced at 100k
- Oil change and Brakes bled at 100k
This is a great car with a lot of life. If you do research you'll see that this model VW TDI gets the best mileage and great longevity. The VW forums have many with over 300k miles. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
