"A Blast from the Past"

Hello there! We have a great little convertible up for auction. I am a broker, and I was hired to sell this car. All the pictures you see are from my digital camera. The pictures have not been re touched or manipulated. For the first time since the car rolled off the showroom floor, this car has been put up for sale, a 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible, a rear engine air cooled four cylinder engine, with rear transaxle manual transmission, ready to take you anywhere. This belonged to a collector. He had five cars, 2 went to restoration, the 1966 Ford Mustang was sold to Germany and the Alfa Romeo and the Beetle came to us and are both now on ebay. The nature of this car makes it a candidate for ebay. This completely original VW Convertible has a new top and glass rear window, and with factory jet black repaint. Typical of VW and Porsche, there were areas where the metal would be thin, both sides floor pans have been replaced. Engine, transmission, and clutch are all in good working order. This car has always been maintained, and always garaged. One owner, and has spent it's running around days in sunny southern California. It has some surface rust in the undercarriage, I guess something you would expect for a 35 year car, and only 86,837 original miles. It's a great specimen if you want to go ahead and have this Super Beetle restored, but it looks stunning, just the way it is! Beautiful shiny black paint, beautiful black top and the volkswagen beetle black vinyl seats. Only southern california can out do itself, this convertible features the dealer installed silver and gold steel spider wheels. Many people preferred this look better than the wheels that came with the car. If you really want to see what wheels came with the car, just open the trunk and take a look at the original white wall spare with the dull looking steel silver wheel. This car even comes with the highly collectable original blue California Blue License Plates. Never thought I would say a Beetle was classy, but this is pure fun, excitement and with the triple black, just waiting to be driven. Just a great car! Maybe it's time you took a second look at this one, it just might be the car that you have been looking for.

"Volkswagen Changes Gears"

1979 and 1980 the end of an era. Since the late 1940's, Volkswagen produced the Beetle convertible all the way up to 1979 and made just a few more for 1980, but were 1979 leftovers. This was the last rear air cooled engine convertible in the United States. Volkswagen, started to change to front wheel drive water cooled engines. The Volkswagen Beetle became collectable immediately! In the late 1970's Volkswagen produced a "Triple White" edition, along with a "Champagne" Edition and the "Epilog." and the last Karmann built soft top bug rolled off the line on January 10, 1980, then headed straight into volkswagen's Auto Museum in Wolfsburg. Everyone knows a Volkswagen Bug, well, you know the rest. They have been around for years, I drove one myself for years in my younger days, fast, easy to drive, great on gas, simple to work on, parts easy to get, all wrapped up in a great little car. Come and get this car, the very last of the last.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.

VW's Skoda says Ukraine partner making wire harnesses again

Tue, Mar 22 2022

PRAGUE — Skoda Auto, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Tuesday its supply partner in Ukraine had decided to restart production of wire harnesses which should allow the Czech carmaker to resume production of its electric ENYAQ iV model. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has added to supply chain problems for global automakers Â— which were already struggling with semiconductor shortages that have cut production Â— with a break in deliveries of wire harnesses from the war-torn country. While Skoda, the Czech Republic's biggest exporter, said it expects the supply of semiconductors to improve in the second half of 2022, it said the war in Ukraine and supply bottlenecks will put a significant burden on its operating business. Skoda's 2021 deliveries fell 12.6% year-on-year and earlier this month it stopped production of the ENYAQ because of harness shortages, saying that two other models were at risk because of the lack of availability of the component. "Our partner ... in Ukraine decided to restart production of wire harnesses this week, with full service and full security for workers there," Karsten Schnake, Skoda's board member for purchasing, said during its online 2021 earnings presentation. Wire harnesses form a key part of a car's electrical system, which group and guide cables inside the vehicle. "We decided to double the production in case something is going wrong, and this production will be ramped up in an alternative factory," Schnake said, adding that work there would start in three or four weeks. "Hopefully we can restart production of ENYAQ one or two weeks later when we have wire harnesses," Schnake said. Skoda delivered 878,200 cars worldwide in 2021, the first time that this had fallen below the 1 million mark since 2013. Nevertheless, the VW group brand's sales revenue rose 3.9% to 17.7 billion euros ($19.5 billion) in 2021 and operating profit rose 43.2% to 1.1 billion euros ($1 billion) as it took cost measures. Skoda did not give a financial or production outlook, saying there were still considerable uncertainties as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the impact on its Russian operations. Skoda, like VW, has suspended production and other business activities in Russia, which was its second-largest market last year, with 90,400 vehicles delivered.
