2006 Volkswagen Beetle TDI

This is a beautiful and well maintained one owner Volkswagen Beetle. It is in excellent condition inside and out. It is a “Package 2” which was the most highly optioned Beetle available in 2006. Features including heated leather seats (not leatherette often called leather) Moonroof, 17” wheels, premium Monsoon sound system, ESP, and much more. This car is powered by the efficient and durable TDI turbo diesel engine mated to the desirable 6 Speed DSG automatic transmission. The manufacturer MPG rating is 35 City, 42 Highway. I have detailed records of the fuel mileage and total annual mpg was between 38 and 41 depending on the amount of highway driving.

History
This is a one owner car and has a clear and clean title history with no issues to report. I planned to keep the car much longer but I got a job that comes with a company car and it just has not been driven and it does not make sense to keep.

Mechanical
This Beetle runs and drives like a new car. The tires are nice with about 5% tread left on rear tires and 80% on front. It is ready to drive anywhere. This vehicle has always been maintained as scheduled by VW. Maintenance records since new will go with the car. It was taken to Jim Ellis VW 12/30/13 for a check-up and there are no issues whatsoever.

Exterior

This Beetle looks very nice and has never been wrecked. The Shadow blue paint is glossy and smooth. There are some stone chips on the nose of the car from highway driving but nothing that would detract from the overall excellent appearance of this car. I would rate the exterior of this car a 9 out of 10.

Interior
The interior of this car very nice as well. The seats and carpet are clean with no stains or rips. There are no unusual or offensive odors and this car has never been smoked in. The car comes with Monster mats, both key/remote, one valet key, spare tire and tools, the owners manuals and original window sticker. I would rate the interior a 9 out of 10.

This is the excellent gently used (not abused) car you have been waiting for. NADA value is $10,325 retail and $7,675 trade in, this one should go for $10,000+.

Please ask any questions you would like 404.402.7570, I am willing to take the vehicle to be inspected at your expense if it makes you more comfortable bidding on the car.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:

Rimac is reportedly close to buying Bugatti from the Volkswagen Group

Thu, Sep 17 2020

Croatia-based Rimac is finalizing a deal to purchase Bugatti from the Volkswagen Group, according to an unverified report. If the rumor is accurate, the sale would propel Rimac to the top of the automotive industry, guarantee that Bugatti's future is electric, and mark the beginning of Volkswagen's efforts to divest its empire. Executives in Wolfsburg gave the deal the green light in September 2020, according to anonymous sources who spoke to British magazine Car, but the company's supervisory board hasn't approved it yet. Selling the French company isn't as simple as sending company founder Mate Rimac an email with an account number. Insiders explained Volkswagen would likely trade Bugatti and all of its assets for a significant stake in Rimac that would be transferred directly to Porsche, which already owns 15.5% of the brand. Officials hope to increase that figure to about 49%, meaning Bugatti is theoretically worth about 33.5% of Rimac, which was founded in 2009. Bugatti told Autoblog it can't comment on speculation. Mate Rimac gave us a similar answer. Rumors of a Bugatti sale have hovered around the automotive industry for several years, and they've never materialized. In theory, spinning off the brand would be relatively easy because it's not as deeply integrated into the Volkswagen Group as its sister companies. It doesn't share its W16 engine with another carmaker, for example. And yet, Car speculates Lamborghini, SEAT, ItalDesign, Bentley, and Ducati will also be sold in the coming years, leaving Volkswagen with its namesake division, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, Scania, and MAN. Volkswagen is having an estate sale to fund the development of electric, autonomous, and digital technologies. Its downsizing will send ripples through the auto industry. Porsche could move upmarket if it doesn't have to worry about stepping on Lamborghini's toes, for example. Spinoffs are always risky, so some companies may not survive if they're not bolstered by economies of scale. As of writing, there's no word on who will pick up the brands being divested under this scenario. And, keep in mind none of this is official. Volkswagen hasn't commented on the report. We'll update this developing story as more information becomes available.
