We bought this car nine years ago for our two daughters to drive in high school and college. It served them very well but now they're both out of school and it's time to serve as economical and dependable transportation for someone else.
The girls put approximately 65,000 reliable miles on the car. The economical diesel engine consistently returned 42-45mpg in city driving and nearly 50mpg on the highway. We have always had it dealer serviced and it never let them down. The tires and brakes are very good. The transmission shifts crisply and the engine starts quickly without excessive smoke. Timing belt and glow plugs done within the last 40,000 miles and receipts for all other service performed. The passenger door power window unit and heater blower are currently not working and will need repair. Also, ABS is intermittent and should be checked. Check engine light and air bag light occasionally send false signals but have been checked and reveal no issues.
We had the black accent paint done to distinguish the car even more. It does show some rock chips on close inspection but it still draws compliments. There is a dent in the right rocker panel but it has sustained no accident damage during the course of our ownership. The paint shows a few small bubbling areas but there is not visible rust. Overall, the car is very presentable for a daily driver. The cloth upholstery is also in good condition with tears or split seams.
This car should have plenty of reliable and economical miles left in it for the next owner. Rather than paying someone to repair the window regulator and heater fan, we chose to price the car very reasonably for a quick sale. It may very well be the best value on an automatic TDI Beetle available today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange a personal inspection and/or test drive (which I encourage). The car is sold with no warranties expressed or implied. Full payment is due within one week of auction's end. I can store it for up to thirty days prior to pick up. Thank you for your interest!

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
