I purchased this New Beetle on Ebay in 2004 with 52887 miles on it. I have put an average of 9,000 miles per year on it since then. It has been a reliable car for me. I have never allowed anyone to smoke in it. I have had it regularly maintained at Vee Village, a highly respected auto repair shop. This shop has not tried to push me to fix every little thing on the car when I bring it in, but has only focussed on the necessary items. I have always followed through with their recommendations on repairs and they have kept it in good order for my needs.

The car does have normal wear and tear on it, but is in quite respectable shape for a 16 year old car. It even comes with the original sunflower on the dash, though the flower is a bit droopy these days. I have kept the carpeted dashboard mat on the dashboard protecting the plastic from sun and other wear. The car still runs well and I will be driving it around town for errands until it sells; thus, the mileage may be slightly higher at the end of the auction. My "new" used car arrives from an Ebay seller at the end of the week.

I am selling the car because of the reduced performance of the heater. Vee Village said it will cost $1,500 to replace the foam under the dashboard to get the heater and ac working adequately again. For mild weather climates this should not be an issue. The car heats well in 40+ degree weather. The ac worked fine for me last summer in 80 degree temperatures.

Please note in the photos, because of the snow and winter weather, the car is not washed. Smudges and dirt from snow covered streets are currently on the car. I intend to wash it when the weather clears..

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
