This Vw Bug Is Clean And Runs Great! It Has Been Repainted And Has Minor Defects on 2040-cars
Gilroy, California, United States
Car was purchased for 16 year old who cant drive stick so we went a different route instead. Meanwhile we spent money making this car nice. I replaced motor with rebuild.The old motor needed new bearings and case needed line bored. I have lots of extra parts almost enough for a complete motor. When i put the motor in i put a new clutch, pressure plate and battery. The bug runs great now. May need to adjust clutch cable. Most seals were redone except door windows which i have new in the box. I also have brand new running boards and 3 point seat belts in box as well. I have 5 hub caps and a bamboo tray for interior. The only mechanical flaw is the cv boot is torn and leaks. There are stains in rear headliner from previous owner he said that is why he replaced seal around rear window. There are no leaks. The doors are hard to be shut due to new door seals that i replaced. I believe i am the 3rd owner, first owner repainted the car .This is not a showroom car but is clean. Does have flaws in paint, no major dents but some scratches as to be expected but for its age it is nice. I get compliments all the time. I believe this car is a California car since there is only minor surface rust on chrome not on the body .The odometer reads 41862 since i am the 3rd owner and cars age i don't know true mileage.This is sold AS-IS so please feel free to email any questions. Vehicle may be sold prior to end of auction locally. |

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe
Thu, Oct 15 2015Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
