58 Volkswagen Beetle on 2040-cars
Alba, Michigan, United States
Ok, up for sale 1958 Volkswagen Beetle I have owned this car for 35+ years used to be my drive-to-work car in another lifetime or so it seems. The engine runs, no funny noises the tranny shifts, rear drive works fine, the glass is not broken, most of the original parts are still on this car! This engine will need rebuilt ... it smokes some. The gas tank has never leaked, but will need cleaned...radio ??? wipers and motor did work etc. I used an electric fuel pump to run it because the gas tank needs cleaned and lines installed. It is in rough condition, body wise, not much of an interior as the photos show, and the floor pan and rails are rough condition. No battery is included with the car! You must let me know 48 hrs in advance of pickup, so I can get the car out. I have a clear title to this car. It is hard to find this old original stuff any more so that is what you will get if bought. I don't need to sell this thing so keep that in mind when trying to buy it. The car is sold.. AS IS, WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY OR IMPLIED RUNNING CONDITION OTHER THAN AS I HAVE DESCRIBED. I will not ship the car, that would be your call and your expense. I need the sale to be : CASH, OR CERTIFED BANK DRAFT, OR CASHIERS CHECK. The car will not leave my possession until the payment has cleared my bank, period. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE.. You, the buyer will need to transport this vehicle some way.. the tires leak air and are junk so it cannot be towed, IMO. ANY QUESTION PLS. CONTACT ME

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
