You are bidding on a barely used 2008 Beetle Convertible. It currently has 13,978 miles. It may have more if it doesn't rain this week. It hasn't seen rain since the day my wife bought it. It was even inside on the showroom floor when we went to look at it in March of 2009. It has been stored in a heated garage during the winters. We don't take it out of storage until it has rained several times and all the salt has been washed off the roads. This car is exceptional in it's condition, however, not perfect as it is a used car. There are three rock chips in the front bumper (see pics) and some very light scratches on the rear where a lawn chair in a carry bag slid off . They are in the clear coat. I couldn't even get the camera to take a picture of them. The interior is excellent as well. There is a small wear mark in the top where it rubs together when the top is down (see pic). The wind deflector has a hard time staying up in high winds on the interstate. There is a boot for the top when down, a boot for the windscreen and a factory 6 disc CD changer in the trunk. Original carpet mats along with the mud and snow mats we use all the time. Kelly Blue Book is $15,778. There is a local dealer selling one with 42K miles for $22,100 and it is not nearly as nice as ours. We bought this as a lemon-law buy back. The original owner from California complained about a noise/squeek in the drivers rear passenger compartment, and demanded they take it back. So, Volkswagen took it back, took it apart, found nothing whatsoever, put it back together and we have not had any problems period. Our title is clear with no notices of a buy back.
The reason she is selling it, is for a down payment for some land where we can build a house in the country. There will also be a low 32K mile, 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD up for sale within the next week AFTER this auction ends so please check it out as it is in excellent condition too.
Please, if you have any questions, just ask. I check my mail regularly and will get back to you ASAP. If you need pictures of any specific parts or anything else on the car, please ask. Thank-you for looking and good luck with your bids. No warranties expressed or implied. We reserve the right to end listing as it is for sale locally. Thanks again.

Volkswagen Golf R Variant ready to haul ass, stuff
Thu, Nov 20 2014Volkswagen seems to be playing a cruel trick on the American automotive public at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It's displaying its sexy Golf R Variant with no clear intention of actually selling the model here. The hot wagon launches in Europe in the spring, but the automaker makes absolutely no mention of the model's prospects in the US. Hopefully, its appearance in LA at least indicates VW is considering bringing it stateside. The great thing about this wagon is that it has everything that the regular Golf R offers, but there's even more room to carry stuff. The same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 296 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. Performance is very close, too, with the Variant R taking 5.1 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour versus the 4.9 seconds the standard R needs to read 60 mph. The two of them also have the same tech goodies like ESC Sport stability control and multiple damping modes. The real advantage to opting for the estate is its ability to carry up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo in the back. This hot rod wagon would seem to be perfect for the family that needs to haul some extra junk in the trunk, but doesn't want to sacrifice performance. Whether the Variant R makes it to the US remains a mystery, though. Scroll down to read the specs and feel a twinge of jealousy.
Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.
MindDrive cruises California with 1972 Karmann Ghia EV
Thu, Jun 26 2014If you need a bit of inspirational EV goodness, spend some time watching the collection of videos we've got for you from Minddrive. Minddrive, as you might remember, is the education mentorship program that "uses real-world issues of our times to teach urban students critical thinking, creativity, entrepreneurship and how to improve their future by expanding their vision for themselves." The focus was on a fully restored 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Well, restored and converted to electric power. The students previously worked on the Lola EV but this year the focus was on a fully restored 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Well, restored and then converted to electric power. In early June, almost 50 Minddrive students and mentors flew from Kansas City to California to visit the epicenter of electric vehicles in the US on something called the "Raise Your Hand Tour." Filmmakers Mark Honer and Kelly Creech from DHTV Digital were along for the ride. The videos below show the students flying from to Oakland, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, presenting the Karmann Ghia at the California Academy of Sciences and then visiting the Monterey Bay EV Club, Google, Twitter and Telsa. All of this EV engagement apparently worked. One of the students, identified only as Xavier, wrote a poem and essay about what the electric vehicle project meant to him. Here's a tease: "Minddrive has honestly opened my eyes to sights and things I would have never thought possible. I have finally found the right path to follow." Read the whole thing below, after the videos. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This content is hosted by a third party.

I used to think that I would never be able to achieve to a greater rank. Always thought that power was given to people with a big bank. Never could imagine that my life would be amazing. Felt that my whole existence was around the weed blazing.
