For sale is a 2 owner 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Yellow BUG with Black vinyl seats. The car is in AWESOME shape for the age. I bought the car before Thanksgiving last year and have enjoyed with my family since then. Weather in Florida is PERFECT right now and maybe for another two more months. The guy who sold me was a dealer from Boise, ID, and according to the history the car had been owned by a lady in California who they bought from, and kept for a year. The car is running, and mechanically sound. Gears switch nicely, and all electronics works on the car. It has an Alpine radio/CD player that you can remove the front, and I keep the case on the glove box. All lights are working. The brakes are good. It does not even need an oil change, as I did one in December. It is a perfect car for weekend driving or even a commute car. There is no signs of rust underneath, and I do have pictures to show. The paint is original, and you will see a few touch ups closer, but I would keep it original as it is. The top looks brand new, and works/closes very easily. The only thing I would fix it, is the sunvisor on the driver side: it keeps going down by it self, as it is a little loose, but I think is just a matter of adjusting and I have not gotten to it ( I just placed a small piece of paper to hold it in place as a quick fix, lol ).
I am selling as I need space in my storage next to my office/warehouse address. This is the 3rd time I put it on eBay. The first was last year, and I basically copy/paste just to have a feel of what price I would get. The 2nd time it did not reach what I wanted for the car, so I kept it, and now I'll see if it will go to someone else. Local buyers and test drives are WELCOME. Send me a message thru eBay on contact the buyer, and I'll give you my address or simply call me on my cell (305-613-0224) between 9am until 7pm EST please! I do have a dealer license and I could help local buyer's in registering and title the car here in FL if needed. Price do not include taxes, tag, registration, and title. If you are from outside Florida, no taxes, however you will have to take care on your own State if you intend to register it. It is OK for EXPORT too. As a matter of fact I sold 3 in worse conditions to a couple of guys in Brazil, and that is the reason why I bought this one other than enjoying it off course. I will not finance or help you you find a loan! Please have your funds available! Serious bidders only! I will only release the car and title, after payment is confirmed and cleared.
I could help you find a transporter and get a quote based on your zip code, so shipping is not included. Please have your finances ready, and be serious about it.
If you have any questions about the car or any other thing I may have forgotten to mention, please contact me. HAPPY BIDDING! GOOD LUCK!

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars
Tue, May 10 2016Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

VW LogBox and Race App performance data logger for R models [w/video]
Tue, Dec 30 2014Now that it's got a 300-horsepower Golf R to brag about, Volkswagen wants you to be able to brag about it accurately with the LogBox and Race App performance data logging combo. Plug the LogBox into your VW's OBD II port and it sends data over BlueTooth to the Race App, measuring variables like acceleration, distance, G-force and engine performance. If you're on a circuit, it uses Google Maps to make a map of the track, and you can record live video in-app to match with the data. Volkswagen says the LogBox will be available for R models and "a range of further Volkswagen cars," so you'll want to hit up your dealer with questions before ordering. It's available from the VW accessories store for 299 euros ($365 US), but right now the free app is only available in German, in the German-language iTunes and Google Play store. We imagine that will be corrected shortly; in the meantime, the video can show you how it works.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind
Mon, 28 Jan 2013TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
