The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The exterior : Hood and headlight covers replaced recently. Paint is in really good condition for its age! The only spots that were fading have very recently been covered with a product called plasti-dip. if you don't know what it is, its a very cool paint alternative that is TOTALLY reversible at anytime but also very durable! ask me & ill explain better! The whole car is stock red with an exception of the plasti-dipped roof and side mirrors that are Matte black. few small scuffs but the front looks almost new and the back is close to it as well. The interior : top part of the center console is missing, like every other beetle this year. passenger side door panel was replaced (broken when i bought it). There is a tear in the driver side seat, but it is on the seam and completely repairable.PLEASE Message me for more info and details!"

FOR SALE LOCALLY. MAY END AT ANY TIME. CAN MEET TO SHOW IN SNEADS FERRY NC AREA.
Sale not final until payment is CLEARED!
Dont bother buying unless you have at least messaged me first!
This is not a silly tee shirt you bid on then get in the mail, this is a car, Serious buyers only. Local pickup only. I PREFER BUYER CONTACT ME AND ARRANGE TO COME SEE IT BEFORE BUYING OR OFFERING! All sales FINAL! Payment method : Cashiers check! money order! not personal check, and probably not paypal unless its a special situation. But in general if you are coming in person to look at the car, and to pick up the car, you can bring a physical form of payment. Sold AS IS! There IS A LEAN HOLDER On the title! We will have to discuss how we will change over the title, but know that when you have paid i will remove the license plate and insurance from the car, and you will not be able to register it until you have the title, which will be after i have the title, witch will be after my bank send it out! just know that! :) patience may be required! :)

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON! the code that its popping is something like " secondary air flow insufficient ". Dont quote me, i may be a little off, autozone can tell you for sure, for free! My mechanic says its nothing to really worry about, it could be/ probably is something as simple as a air-line that's bent and wont let air pass, or has a snag or hole in it. ten dollar fix if i can ever get the time to get it in the shop to find it! problem is its my daily driver and i can not afford to take the time to let my mechanic have it for days to work on it (my favorite mechanics are slow...but amazingly VW Smart and trustworthy!) Passed my last emissions inspection by having the code reset, it takes almost 1000 miles to come back on, you can get an inspection after reset by about 100 miles! do the math, that's approx 900 miles of OKAY zone. I bought this car from a DEALER who KNEW this light as on, reset it, and sold it to me anyway. i didnt even get home without it coming on. Been driving it this whole time, it does not affect performance at all!
The 5-speed Turbo is quicker than you may think! same engine as the 2001 GTI's. it might be a typical girl car but its not as dainty as it looks.
You will be spoiled to the great gas millage and amazing horsepower combo!

Realistically Buying this car from the dealer in this area you would be doing well to get it for less than $5500 plus all the fees, KBB says it is worth $3799 from a dealer. but only 2800 private party. I'm not a dealer trying to make commission. Im not gonna lie about whats wrong with it and whats been done. But, I gotta make what I need to pay my loans off, so, that's why the price is what it is. I'm trying to break even here, but if to sell it means lowering the price i will. so contact me!!!

2001 Red VW Beetle Sport 1.8 20V Turbo
169,xxx miles
5 Speed Manual
Cream leather int. W/ heated seats, Cruise control, Tinted windows, power locks and windows, Sunroof, 6 CD player, Premium rims, radio w/ aux port, & pop-out spoiler.

Amazing gas millage! Internet says only about 25 but I have measured upward of thirty mpg.

I have done most of the general maintenance you will have to worry about with a car this age/ mileage. I replaced all the brakes and rotors feb. 2012 (shortly after I bought it), Two rear bushings in oct. 2012 and the alternator in April this year. The timing belt and water pump were replaced at 100,000 by previous owner. Whole A/C unit was replaced this time last year. Two back tires are less than a month old. Two front tires were rotated from the back at the same time and have barely any wear. I also have two more full size tires I bought on sale I can sell if you're interested. you can buy them from me and not have to worry about being stuck with a flat and having to pay some outrageous price to a shop, also in my experience most shops don't keep this size in stock so its good to be prepared.
I have the receipts for all of this work and some more, not all the oil changes because i did quite a few myself, but they have been done on a very regular basis!

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project

Tue, Jan 7 2014

It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.
