* "Classic" 1965 VW (Sunroof) Beetle * "BUGS are fun...they've always been fun!" Before you and up for bid is my 1965 VW Beetle. The particulars of the BUG are as follows: * One family owned (mine) since new. Original California bug purchased new in Fresno. First year ownership remained in CA., then 47 years in Arizonia. Two years presently in Colorado. * Garaged its entire life when not being driven, great 50 year patina! * NO ACCIDENT history, yep...it has never been bent. * Solid from front to rear...guaranteed to be ZERO RUST! * "Survivor" condition, other than one repaint in 1985, it is completely original throughout. * Original 1200cc (40hp) engine, these 1200's are becoming increasingly more difficult to find. Great compresssion, new wires and NGK plugs, distinct sound. * Runs & drives great! * Factory 4-speed, shifts perfect through the upshifts as well as reverse, good synchro's. * All original glass, there is a windshield chip, however, a period correct (50 yr. old) windshield will accompany the sale. * All new glass gasket set will accompany the sale. * ONLY 80,011 ACTUAL miles! * I removed the carpets to illustrate the rust free aspect of the pans, see (pics) A new set (13 pieces, I believe) of black carpet(s) will accompany the sale. * There has never been any rust/repair to the battery provision. * 2nd year offering for the steel sunroof car from VW...very desirable. * Original SAPHIRE radio...it plays. * All safety features, lights, directionals, wipers, horn, emergency flashers, high & low beams, etc., operate. * Still 6 volt * New battery ($95.00) * Operable speedometer & odometer * Ankle baking heat * Original brochure (not a reproduction) included * Original UNIROYAL spare At 50 years of age, the BUG looks good and runs great, wonderful little conveyances these BUGS! Everybody loves a BUG...everywhere it goes, it draws attention and makes people smile. The most important aspect for one to consider if they plan to restore a BUG is rust. Aspect negated...there is NO RUST here... The BUG is worthy of a restoration. Parts are inexpensive, readily available and these are among the easiest of cars to work on. Any novice could undertake this as it would make a great individual, father/son or mother/daughter project. You are bidding to purchase the BUG, not to be the first to "look at it". Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. It's a low dough car...one that shouldn't require permission. Thank you. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. I have set a reasonable reserve for the BUG. It is commensurate with the condition, ownership history and low miles. Please do not ask what the reserve is, I will not disclose it. Again, this is an inexpensive car. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the "classic" 1965 VW Sunroof BUG that you see before you. The VW and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. While I am confident that the BUG could be driven home to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving it home. Old cars are just that...old cars. Miles from home is not the place to become acquainted with your "new" old car. Get it home first. With that said, if you choose to drive it home, I can't stop you, and I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. * Important Condition: If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, excessive negative feedback, or less than 10 quality transactions (yeah, that order of PEEPS won't count), you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions, otherwise, your bid will be canceled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to preserve the integrity of the auction. My experience is that if one has little feedback, there is no incentive to fulfill a purchase commitment, for negative feedback is of no concern to this individual. The people that are regular ebayer's care about their buying/seller's rating(s). Thank you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal, no exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter, under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance, as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire amount, however, ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the initial payment fee. (approx. $30.00 per $1000.00) eBay provides for only 24 pictures, I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message, and I will return your call promptly. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Be thinking in the $5500-$6500 range. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. If the VW is destined to leave the country, I have shipped numerous times abroad and have contacts to assist in facilitating this. The VW and title will not be released until full payment has been received. I am not a dealer, I am a collector hobbyist that is downsizing. 100% eBay satisfaction, those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased with their cars, their expectations exceeded. Clear Colorado title in my name. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid on this 50 year old "classic" VW BUG! Jeff (719)-492-1234,c |

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
When Android Automotive goes in the dash, Google wins — and automakers lose data
Tue, May 22 2018You've gotta hand it to Google for the way the Silicon Valley tech giant has made indelible inroads into the car on multiple fronts. The most obvious is with its pioneering self-driving car technology that's caused car companies to get their act together on autonomous vehicles — and also collaborate with Google. Google has more directly extended its influence and data-mining capabilities into the car with its Android Auto smartphone-projection platform that most major automakers have adopted along with Apple's CarPlay. And now it's preparing to dig even deeper into dashboards by deploying its open-source operating system, Android Automotive, beginning with Audi and Volvo. Volvo recently announced that its next-generation Sensus infotainment system will run Android Automotive as an OS and include Google's Play Store for cloud-based content, Maps for navigation and Google Assistant for voice recognition, which can even command a car's climate control. By embedding Google in the dash, Volvo says owners will get an improved connected experience. "Bringing Google services into Volvo cars will accelerate innovation in connectivity and boost our development in applications and connected services," Volvo senior vice president of R&D Henrik Green said in a statement. "Soon, Volvo drivers will have direct access to thousands of in-car apps that make daily life easier and the connected in-car experience more enjoyable." Having Android Automotive onboard could benefit drivers — and provide a big win for Google, since it opens a deep and lucrative new data-mining vein for the company. But it's a wave of a white flag for car companies when it comes to delivering their own cloud-based content and services. It also represents a massive data giveaway and, for Audi, a reversal of earlier reservations about letting Google get too much access to car data. Not long after Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were introduced in 2014 and most automakers eagerly embraced the technologies, several German automakers second-guessed their decision when they realized what was at stake: data. At a conference in Berlin in 2015, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said car owners "want to be in control of their data, and not subject to monitoring." A few months earlier, Stadler stated that "the data that we collect is our data and not Google's.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
