NO RESERVE!!

Being offered at NO RESERVE:

- 1973 VW Beetle in amazing BRIGHT ORANGE with only 94k miles.

- MADE IN GERMANY!! They simply don’t make vehicles like this anymore. With only 94k miles, this engineering masterpiece is barely broken in.

- From speaking with the owner, these are the original miles. However, we are disclosing that the title is marked as Not Actual Mile. The vehicle runs, drives and looks to have low miles. In addition, the title was previously renewed in 2008 and the odometer was recorded as 84k miles, so all signs lead us to believe the previous owner, that the vehicle’s true mileage is 94k; however, the title is marked (most likely mistakenly) as Not Actual Mile and we want to be as thorough and fair as possible to all potential bidders so we are disclosing this information.

- RUNS AND DRIVES 100%. We’ve had the vehicle on the highway at over 60 mph and the BEETLE IS IN EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION!!!

- As you can see in the pictures, the VW was restored. It appears to have been restored within the past 3-4 years based on how new everything appears. The chrome shines new, clearcoat and paint look a few years old tops and shine beautifully. While it is a very nice restoration job and the vehicle appears to have been taken down to its bare bones and restored properly, it is not without faults. There are some minor dings that were left in the body and the rear portion of the headliner has a few marks on it and is sagging in one spot. The dash has two cracks in the front center (driver side) that were filled and repaired but still visible.

- The interior otherwise looks great. Seats look great, carpets look new, the trim looks great. All rubber gaskets, glass, chrome trim, lights, door panels, sun visors, door handles look new.

- RUST-FREE!!!! I’ve included a bunch of undercarriage pictures. The body on this Beetle is rust-free. The undercarriage looks amazing. The orange you are seeing in the undercarriage pictures is because of the color of the vehicle. The underbody is in great condition. Frame, suspension and undercarriage components are all very solid.

- 1.6L 4 cylinder motor runs excellent. Great oil pressure and no heating issues. This motor is known for its reliability and not to mention its simple design allowing for easy, affordable maintenance.

- 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all gears! No grinding or slipping. Clutch feels great.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- This is the perfect vehicle for an amateur collector or to use as a daily driver. Reliable, great on gas and a real head-turner, the next owner is really going to enjoy this Beetle for years to come.

- We have verified that the original color of the vehicle was indeed BRIGHT ORANGE! The paint job looks great and fresh. No chips in the clearcoat and the vehicle really shines beautifully.

- Please take your time, I’ve included a lot of high-definition pictures including close-ups in order to give all potential bidders a fair and accurate view of the vehicle.

- Original VW Chrome center caps over the BRIGHT ORANGE wheels look amazing and are a truly classic look.

- Wheels are wrapped in FOUR MATCHING, BRAND-NEW NEXEN TIRES.

- All matching VIN numbers present!!! THIS IS THE ONE!

- Original radio was replaced at some point with an aftermarket headunit. Audio sounds great.

- The Beetle has been kept in amazing running condition. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this vehicle up and drive it cross-country. 100% TURN-KEY!!

- This is really a rare find: 1973 Volkswagen Beetle with only 94k miles in BRIGHT ORANGE and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
