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!!

The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain.

BMW, VW partner with ChargePoint for high-speed charging network

Thu, Jan 22 2015

To promote their plug-in electric vehicles, a number of electric vehicle makers are working overtime to get a charging infrastructure set up. Tesla is famously setting up a network of Superchargers around the world, and today BMW and VW have announced they are partnering with ChargePoint to install almost 100 DC Fast Chargers up and down the US coasts. Installing additional Level 2 chargers is also part of the plan. The new DC Fast Chargers will offer the SAE Combo connectors, which is available on both the e-Golf and the i3. The fast chargers will have "up to two 50 kW DC Fast chargers, or 24 kW DC Combo Fast chargers," BMW says. They will be installed roughly 50 miles apart between Boston and Washington, DC in the east as well as Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in the west. The 24-kW DC Fast Chargers will fill up an empty i3 or e-Golf to 80 percent in a half-hour or 3.5-4 hours from the Level 2 cords. Speaking at an announcement ceremony at the Washington Auto Show today, ChargePoint CEO Pasquale Romano said that infrastructure investments like this will get more people to realize that they can use an electric vehicle as their only car, and Jorg Sommer, VP of product marketing and strategy for VW North America, said that it's clear that, "The EV is perfect for the daily driver." BMW, Volkswagen and ChargePoint Join Forces to Create Electric Vehicle Express Charging Corridors on the East and West Coasts. · A goal of nearly 100 DC Fast charging ports will be installed to support long distance and metropolitan electric vehicle travel with the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf and other electric cars, along heavily trafficked corridors on both coasts, supported by Level 2 chargers. Â· These publicly available charging stations will be added to the existing ChargePoint network and can be easily accessed using a ChargePointÂ® or ChargeNow card. Washington, D.C., January 22, 2015 Â– At the 2015 Washington Auto Show, two of the top automakers, BMW of North America and Volkswagen of America, together with ChargePoint, the largest electric vehicle charging network, announced an initiative to create express charging corridors along heavily-traveled routes on the East and West Coasts.

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
