Before i begin i put the mileage as it is on the odometer but im sure it is that plus at least 100,000 more.This bug is going to be up for auction for this seven days ONLY ! If it does not sell in the 7 days its going to be parted out by day 8. Im not trying to sound rude but i just dont have the room or time to keep dealing with it, i have waaay to many projects on my plate rite now.Also this vehicle will need to be trailered or put on a flat bed, it is NOT road worthy !!One last thing, This beetle has a clear michigan title,the title is the old style Michigan titles that have not been used since the 80,s. The title is also an open title which means that i have not registered it, it has been signed over to me but i have not filled in the blanks. OK ! Now about the bug!  In my opinion this is a great parts bug but as far as restoring it i feel its too far gone. The floors and rockers have been sort of repaired (see picture) someone spent a lot of time doing what they did but its all pretty useless repair and would need to be all torn out.The doors are both in good shape and i dont see any repairs on them.Both door windows roll up and down with a lot of help (they are real tight) both vent windows open and close.Both door locks work from inside but do not work with key.Both door handles work outside and inside.Both doors drop about 1 inch at rear when opened due to door post on car rotted at bottom.Rear deck lid looks good.Front trunk lid has some minor dents and some surface rust but nothing to serious.The trunk lid also does not latch but everything is there,probably just an adjustment.Wiper motor works on both speeds but there are no wiper arms.Windshield has some wiper scratches.rear window has the defroster element in glass and it looks good but i have not tested it.This bug has no brakes! I added some brake fluid and it started to get pressure then lost it.Theres no leaking brake fluid so i think the master cylinder went.Since there is no brake pressure the brake lights also do not work but one tail light does work.Also one head light works.Turn signals dont work.The sunroof opens all the way and closes 99% of the way, it just doesnt seem to want to go that last 1/4 inch to close. The engine runs very strong and doesnt leak or burn any oil.I did just put a new fuel pump on it the past week, which is understandable since it hasnt run in over 20 years! The engine doesnt seem to want to idle to well which is also understandable since it is missing most of the vacuum lines and still has some really old gas still running through the carb.The engine turns on and off from the key but i had to use a remote starter switch to crank the starter.(remote starter switch is NOT included but you can borrow it to get car on trailer) Also the battery is NOT included but you can use it to start it and get it on trailer.The tranny shifts through all gears and the clutch seems fine.The tires are in pretty good shape with lots of rubber and only a little bit of minor dry rot.Three of the tires hold air with no problem but the driver side front one has a bad valve stem and leaks down in about an hour! The rear seat is missing the back of seat, there is only the bottom section.
Well i guess thats about it.You will notice that one picture is of parts,all of those parts are included with the car and i will list them below. I can also offer delivery on an open trailer for $1.00 per mile per mapquest mileage from my address to your address, USA only, sorry but no Canada delivery.If the delivery option is chosen ,the delivery fee will be paid in advance and is NON-REFUNDABLE !!   The winning bidder will pay a NON-REFUNDABLE $100.00 deposit within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in full within 7 days of auction end.Balance to be paid in CASH at time of pickup.Vehicle is to be removed from my property within 7 days of auction end unless prior agreement has been made BEFORE bidding on car!
Any questions feel free to email me,i will answer usually within 30 minutes.If you want more pictures,please be specific about areas you want pictures of.
Thanks for looking and have a great night!

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The 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.

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.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
