Reseda, California, United States

You are bidding on a used 1972 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback. Car starts, runs but needs a tune up in order to drive to its full potential. Once you have a tune up done to it, it will run great.

The vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty. Please read full description before bidding. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Below you will find a list of the pros and cons of the vehicle. I have owned the car for the past 14 years but it is time to finally let it go.

Pros:
New tires
New distributor
New battery 
New Carpet (front driver side needs to be re-glued. see pic)
New door panels (driver and passenger. panels need to be assembled properly.)
New dashboard
Newish carbs
New head lights
New cup holder basket
New bamboo tray
New door seals, rear lid seals, engine cap seals and hood seals.
New taillights

New starter

New turn signal switch
Headliner painted for new look (headliner has small holes)
Engine rebuilt with approx. 30k miles on it. 
Floor panels have no rust (see pics. sorry - not the best pics) 

 

Cons.
Needs tune up
windshield has a crack
Tags will expire soon (6/18)
Steering wheel is cracked
Needs steering wheel/front wheel alignment

Door panels need to be fully assembled along with interior part of doors (window track to raise and lower window)

Heater cables/box has been unplugged (normally don't need heat in California)

small rust next to drivers door (outside - see pic)

 

I have tried my best to describe any problems the car may have. Please be aware that it is an older car so naturally it will have more issues than a newer car. The car runs great once it gets a tune up so unfortunately its not one of those "buy and drive" sort of things. You can drive it and it will run but I don't suggest it. Overall its a nice car. Has lots of new items and still solid. All electrical on the car works. Body is solid and has almost no rust. Floor pans look great with no rust (picture is not great but it can give you an idea of what to expect.) Odometer reads 99,xxx but since it resets after 99,999, I really don't know the actual millage on it.

 

Car is being sold as is with no warranty. What you see is what you get. Buyer is responsible for shipping/transporting of vehicle.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and will try my best to answer them

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China

Thu, Oct 30 2014

With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."
