Sale not final until payment is CLEARED!
Dont bother buying unless you have at least messaged me first!
This is not a silly tee shirt you bid on then get in the mail, this is a car, Serious buyers only. Local pickup only. I PREFER BUYER CONTACT ME AND ARRANGE TO COME SEE IT BEFORE BUYING OR OFFERING! All sales FINAL! Payment method : Cashiers check! money order! not personal check, and probably not paypal unless its a special situation. But in general if you are coming in person to look at the car, and to pick up the car, you can bring a physical form of payment. Sold AS IS! There IS A LEAN HOLDER On the title! We will have to discuss how we will change over the title, but know that when you have paid i will remove the license plate and insurance from the car, and you will not be able to register it until you have the title, which will be after i have the title, witch will be after my bank send it out! just know that! :) patience may be required! :)
THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON! the code that its popping is something like " secondary air flow insufficient ". Dont quote me, i may be a little off, autozone can tell you for sure, for free! My mechanic says its nothing to really worry about, it could be/ probably is something as simple as a air-line that's bent and wont let air pass, or has a snag or hole in it. ten dollar fix if i can ever get the time to get it in the shop to find it! problem is its my daily driver and i can not afford to take the time to let my mechanic have it for days to work on it (my favorite mechanics are slow...but amazingly VW Smart and trustworthy!) Passed my last emissions inspection by having the code reset, it takes almost 1000 miles to come back on, you can get an inspection after reset by about 100 miles! do the math, that's approx 900 miles of OKAY zone. I bought this car from a DEALER who KNEW this light as on, reset it, and sold it to me anyway. i didnt even get home without it coming on. Been driving it this whole time, it does not affect performance at all!
The 5-speed Turbo is quicker than you may think! same engine as the 2001 GTI's. it might be a typical girl car but its not as dainty as it looks.
You will be spoiled to the great gas millage and amazing horsepower combo!
Realistically Buying this car from the dealer in this area you would be doing well to get it for less than $5500 plus all the fees, KBB says it is worth $3799 from a dealer. but only 2800 private party. I'm not a dealer trying to make commission. Im not gonna lie about whats wrong with it and whats been done. But, I gotta make what I need to pay my loans off, so, that's why the price is what it is. I'm trying to break even here, but if to sell it means lowering the price i will. so contact me!!!
2001 Red VW Beetle Sport 1.8 20V Turbo
169,xxx miles
5 Speed Manual
Cream leather int. W/ heated seats, Cruise control, Tinted windows, power locks and windows, Sunroof, 6 CD player, Premium rims, radio w/ aux port, & pop-out spoiler.
Amazing gas millage! Internet says only about 25 but I have measured upward of thirty mpg.
I have done most of the general maintenance you will have to worry about with a car this age/ mileage. I replaced all the brakes and rotors feb. 2012 (shortly after I bought it), Two rear bushings in oct. 2012 and the alternator in April this year. The timing belt and water pump were replaced at 100,000 by previous owner. Whole A/C unit was replaced this time last year. Two back tires are less than a month old. Two front tires were rotated from the back at the same time and have barely any wear. I also have two more full size tires I bought on sale I can sell if you're interested. you can buy them from me and not have to worry about being stuck with a flat and having to pay some outrageous price to a shop, also in my experience most shops don't keep this size in stock so its good to be prepared.
I have the receipts for all of this work and some more, not all the oil changes because i did quite a few myself, but they have been done on a very regular basis!

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery
Tue, Apr 1 2014When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
