1998 Vw New Beetle on 2040-cars
Port Charlotte, Florida, United States

1998 VW Volkswagen New Beetle This 1998 New Beetle is a Canadian export model which is now located in Florida with a clear FL title from this year. It has the metric instrument cluster with 99,387 kilometers on the odometer (equivalent to 67,000 miles roughly). It has the 2.0 AEG engine with an automatic transmission and 4 wheel disc brakes. It was towed in for an overheat condition, we found that the electric fans were not working. A previous tech had replaced the radiator, the water pump and timing belt, the thermostat and 2 water outlets. The vehicle runs and drives though the engine runs a bit rough and the overheat warning lamp illuminates after about 10-15 minutes. The car owner is not interested in any additional repair expenses and it is for sale here and locally. The car is in very good overall condition with no dents or paint damage. It was used as a winter Florida car for the owner whom lives in Canada for the better part of the year; it has not been abused. The underside has superficial rust from northern climates but no structural concerns. I am from New England and know how rusty the cars can get up there! It is of the deluxe trim level and has many desireable options including alloy wheels, Michelin tires, AC and a factory CD changer and power windows, cruise control, overhead clock, etc. The interior is very good overall. The headliner will need to be re-glued as it is dropping in a few areas, and the carpets are a bit dirty but the interior is not damaged at all. This VW would be a great car for the new beetle enthusiast or technician; the front bumper cover and headlamps were removed for access to the radiator mounting bolts but they are fully intact and undamaged. Any questions, call Jeff 941-830-3137. |

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
