ENJOY LIFE!! DRIVE A CONVERTIBLE!! Up for NO RESERVE AUCTION is this beautiful Sunshine Yellow 1972 Volkswagen Convertible! 1972 is a very collectible year because it was the last year of the classic-style flat windshield on the Convertible Beetle. This car has always been a California car since the day it was new! All original down to its wheels, always adult-owned, never raised, lowered or hot-rodded. Owned for many years by a wealthy woman who always took very good care of it. Always garaged, even covered in the garage, it shows the care it's had. If you have ever owned or driven one of these neat little cars, you know how much fun they are to drive! Just running errands is a joy! And a top-down ride on a beautiful spring day is pure pleasure! A lot of people restore these cars and some do a good job. But here is a car that doesn't need restoring, it has always been kept in good shape. The motor was rebuilt about three thousand miles ago, is smooth and powerful and has just received a full service. Doesn't use oil. All of the windows are clear with no cracks, and they all roll up and down like they should . Seats are in very good condition. The top was recently replaced with a very high quality Hartz canvas at a cost of $2100; it does have a small patch in one spot that is barely noticeable. Beautiful recent paint job really makes this car stand out in a crowd! All lights, turn signals, and heater work great. Tire tread is at 90%. A brand new high quality sound system makes cruising even more enjoyable. If you have ever wanted one of these great little cars but didn't want to have to restore one, or pay outrageous money for a perfect one, then this car is for you! Absolutely a turn key car, it needs nothing but a new owner. Convertible Beetles have steadily been increasing in value and nice clean ones like this are sure to continue to go up even more. This is a very affordable classic. Not a 100-point show car, but a car you will be love to own and drive. Take it to your local weekend "Bug-In" and be proud! Or really enjoy life and drive it every day! Perfect car for that special teenager. Available for inspection anytime during the auction by appointment. I'll ship anywhere in the world at buyer's expense. Shipped to your door anywhere in the U.S., I work with a very reliable company. The pictures really don't do the car justice. It is very beautiful. E-Mail or call me with questions at 831-383-2499. This is a car you will never be sorry for buying! Bidding starts at a very modest $2500 and there is NO RESERVE!! This means someone will get this neat little car. Good luck and HAPPY BIDDING!!!

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
Audi spending an additional $2.5 billion on expansion through 2019
Thu, Jan 1 2015Every year, it seems the Volkswagen Group announces a new and larger spend to push growth and profit, with Audi a regular recipient of the moolah. That's reasonable, seeing as hauls in 40 percent of Group operating profits. In December last year Audi said it would spend an additional 100 million euros ($122M US) per year through 2018 to develop new models and expand production, targeting 60 models by 2020 and luxury sales leadership. This month Audi said it will boost that by another two billion euros ($2.5B US) over the next five years, for a total outlay of 24 billion euros from 2014 to 2019. Something like 70 percent of those billions will be spent on new models, technology like "connectivity and lightweight construction," and factory expansion at its plants in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Most of the ten models that will plump the lineup to 60 cars will mainly be aimed at the C and D segments, as well as crossovers, the brand's burgeoning portfolio of PHEV models, and all-electric cars that will begin staking ground in the segment. The big spend comes at the same time as Audi is working hard to reduce costs by $2.5 billion to maintain profitability, part of a larger push by VW to cut costs by $6.1 billion by 2017. More than a billion euros will go to new factories in Mexico and Brazil. Work begins on the Mexico plant next year, and when it comes on-line in 2016, Audi's Q5 successor will roll out of its warehouse doors; Audi has already announced it will hire 850 more workers next year in Mexico. When that's done, Mexico's production of German luxury cars will only trail that of Germany, China and the US. The company's Brazil plant will produce the A3 and S3 starting next year, and the brand figures luxury car buying there will triple by 2017.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
