First, please not this vehicle is not a Beetle, it is a Type 3 Fastback. Carsforsale.com automatically lists it as a Beetle. This is really a cool little car. We purchased it from a charity auction without knowing much about it. And of course when you buy cars online, there are often surprises....The body is a bit rougher than we had suspected. It is't terrible for an original car, but there are dents and a few rust spots and places that have been touched up. We bought it not running, so the good surprise was to find out that lots of good service had just been performed and only a blown fuse was keeping the engine from running perfect. No doubt the last owner gave up after doing so much and then still not being able to get it started. The original fuel injection is in awesome working order. In addition to the engine being strong, the automatic transmission also works great, shifting perfectly as it should. The brakes have all been replaced. Our service was mostly getting all the lights to work, servicing the rear brakes, replacing the tires, new tie rods and an alignment - so really all small items. This IS a good car and we have no doubt the mileage is 111k both from notes found in the car and the overall condition. The interior is especially indicitave of a well kept, low mileage car - the headliner is extremely good, the seats and carpets show below average wear. Neat options include the automatic transmission, a trip odometer and a very cool Blaupunkt picnic radio. The owners books are present. Also included are shop manuals and a bunch of brand new seals - engine, trans, doors, trunks, windows etc. Obviously this is an old car so we will gladly answer any questions and provide as much information as possible. Our vehicles are prepared for sale by Foreign Accents, and are located in the front section of the Foreign Accents parking lot. We are committed to offering clean, properly serviced, fairly priced automobiles. We assist with financing when possible and also have a Certied Pre-Owned program that extends the warranty coverage on some of our newer inventory. Please call or email us for more details.

VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV

Tue, Oct 7 2014

Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag. You can see the new ad and a number of related behind-the-scenes videos (in English) below. Our Quick Spin of the E-up! are available here. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
