I live in the heart of Hollywood and pretty much walk/metro everywhere so I'm selling my 2006 Gecko Green New Beetle (Interior Black) with only 39,138 miles. I priced my car according to the Kelly Bluebook Value of "Good" car at 40,000 miles for a "Private Party Sale." I also know what the Trade In Value is so OBO must be far better than Trade In Value. AUTOCHECK SCORE IS 85 and this car qualifies for Autocheck Buyback Protection. The one accident reported in March 2012 was a woman hit my parked car at Griffith Park, and her insurance paid for a new bumper and paint.

Have both sets of keys including valet key, manual, flower vase and everything that came with the car originally. I bought the car new in 2006, I don't smoke and the plastic under the car that covers the engine is brand new. Full new set of tires.

Though I can't fathom why anyone would want my likeness off of their Beetle previously owned by THE Megumi O herself, the logo for my brand MEGUMI-O does peel off. They're stickers. By the way, the car was on TLC's What Not To Wear and Starving Actress (Download on Amazon). When I'm Rich & Famous, you may end up making a killing unloading the original MEGUMI-O Mobile! If you're into Kawaii Sanrio, I'll even throw in my Hello Kitty Headrest!

Before I agree to meet you for a test drive at the parking lot of Chase on Sunset & Vine in Hollywood, I will need to speak to you on the phone and have a photo of your Driver's License emailed or texted to me. When you test drive a car at a dealer, you leave the Driver's License with the dealer. When you tour an apartment community, you leave your Driver's License at the Leasing Office. I'm a licensed Real Estate Agent and one with a criminal record can't be licensed by the DRE. I assure you, I'm not out to scam you. These are precautions I'm taking for my own safety both physically and fiscally. If you think I'm being paranoid, Google "Craig's List Murders." If you don't live in Southern California and want the car shipped, please pay via eBay and handle the shipping yourself.

I'm in no rush to sell the car since I have plans to leave Hollywood to drive to a suburb next weekend. Make me a good offer or Buy It NOW!

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
