You are bidding on a barely used 2008 Beetle Convertible. It currently has 13,978 miles. It may have more if it doesn't rain this week. It hasn't seen rain since the day my wife bought it. It was even inside on the showroom floor when we went to look at it in March of 2009. It has been stored in a heated garage during the winters. We don't take it out of storage until it has rained several times and all the salt has been washed off the roads. This car is exceptional in it's condition, however, not perfect as it is a used car. There are three rock chips in the front bumper (see pics) and some very light scratches on the rear where a lawn chair in a carry bag slid off . They are in the clear coat. I couldn't even get the camera to take a picture of them. The interior is excellent as well. There is a small wear mark in the top where it rubs together when the top is down (see pic). The wind deflector has a hard time staying up in high winds on the interstate. There is a boot for the top when down, a boot for the windscreen and a factory 6 disc CD changer in the trunk. Original carpet mats along with the mud and snow mats we use all the time. Kelly Blue Book is $15,778. There is a local dealer selling one with 42K miles for $22,100 and it is not nearly as nice as ours. We bought this as a lemon-law buy back. The original owner from California complained about a noise/squeek in the drivers rear passenger compartment, and demanded they take it back. So, Volkswagen took it back, took it apart, found nothing whatsoever, put it back together and we have not had any problems period. Our title is clear with no notices of a buy back.
The reason she is selling it, is for a down payment for some land where we can build a house in the country. There will also be a low 32K mile, 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD up for sale within the next week AFTER this auction ends so please check it out as it is in excellent condition too.
Please, if you have any questions, just ask. I check my mail regularly and will get back to you ASAP. If you need pictures of any specific parts or anything else on the car, please ask. Thank-you for looking and good luck with your bids. No warranties expressed or implied. We reserve the right to end listing as it is for sale locally. Thanks again.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
