Eden, Utah, United States

1972 Volkswagen Beetle.  This is an original low mileage, good running and driving, Volkswagen Beetle.  The VW is registered to me and I have an original Utah Title in my name.  This VW spent most of its time is, dry (no salt on the roads), southern Utah. The original pan is solid, not dented, and is rust free.  The engine was recently rebuilt, and runs excellent. The VW shifts smoothly and stops firmly. It has new tires and a new battery. The body is very solid and does not have any hidden repairs.  All of the glass is good and the spare tire is in place. It is an original, 76,000 mile, Beetle. If you have any questions about my Beetle, please don't hesitate to give me a call.  My home phone, which is still attach to our kitchen wall, has the following number (801) 745-0599. The VW is currently registered, insured, and has been safety inspected. These steps are necessary to register and drive a car in the State of Utah. The VW can be driven anywhere and comes with a repair manual and catalogs.

I want the new owner to know exactly what they are buying.  With this in mind, I will nit pick the minor problems.  First, mechanically, it is in excellent condition. The biggest problem with the VW is the interior. It has new door panels, but the original seats are tattered and need to be corrected.  It has after market seat covers that are functional, but it needs new seat covers.  The original paint is worn and there are minor dings that show surface rust discoloring. The running board on the passenger's side has a small dent by the rear fender.  Again, please look closely at all of the photos.

If you have less than 5 positive feedback in your ebay feedback score, please email me before bidding. I want this to be a good straightforward auction.  Please look at my ebay feedback score.  I highly value my 100% positive feedback on ebay, and I want the new owner to be satisfied with the Beetle. A $250. deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing - unless you contact me directly to make other arrangements.  Good luck bidding.

The reserve on the car is very low and well under the cars value.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
