On occasion (~ once every two weeks) the engine will not engage when the ignition is turned. A simple roll start or crossing of the starter's contacts resolves the issue right away, but the vehicle could use a new starter.Turn signal does not de-activate. Could use a new switch or spring. Was never a concern of mine, I simply turned it off myself.Emergency flashers do not work (my mechanic said this is likely just a switch that needs replaced).Windshield washer needs new tank (doesn't seal to hold pressure - not pressurized by spare tire, has a pressure valve right on the tank)."

DETAILS:

1969 Volkswagen Beetle

61,000 Miles on Odometer (not original)

AM/FM CD Player with AUX hookup installed. AUX wiring is currently run into the glovebox and available throughout front/rear seat of car.

Bright Red Paint (not original) - Great older paint job in decent condition with a few chips here & there. Car was originally painted green (which can be seen deep in engine compartment and in areas under hood.

Body has very little rust anywhere. A few paint chips or scratches show a little rust, but only surface. Floor pans are surface rusted but have no holes (aside from one drilled through to resolve the infamous passenger side leak from driving while its raining). Some body rust is visible deep in the engine compartment (where the fenders meet the body & firewall), but has not progressed while I've owned the car and appears to have been sealed off when the vehicle was painted.

Tan Cloth Interior (not original) - Seats and headliner are in great condition, carpet is in decent shape but could use an update.

Engine starts right away and runs well. It could use timing and a tune-up, but has been my daily driver for the last 10 months (including regular 60 miles trips between Cleveland and Sandusky area). I have not had a single breakdown and the car has always started without a problem.

All four tires are new within the last 10 months.

New heater boxes were installed in January. The interior controls have not been hooked up. My mechanic open's the boxes in the late fall and closes them in the spring. Having driven several old VW's, I am amazed at how much heat this thing puts out. If its warmer than 15° outside you'll need to crack a window!

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Front bumper was clipped in a parking lot (and is fairly rusted). It is bent on the driver's side and a original quality replacement should run around $220 (http://www.mamotorworkstv.com/vw/product/front-bumper-353116/)

Starter appears to have a non-contact point in it. On occasion (~ once every two weeks) the engine will not engage when the ignition is turned. A simple roll start or crossing of the starter's contacts resolves the issue right away, but the vehicle could use a new starter.

Turn signal does not de-activate. Could use a new switch or spring. Was never a concern of mine, I simply turned it off myself.

Emergency flashers do not work (my mechanic said this is likely just a switch that needs replaced).

Windshield washer needs new tank (doesn't seal to hold pressure - not pressurized by spare tire, has a pressure valve right on the tank).


REASON FOR SELLING:

I am only selling this car as we are making an effort to be a one car household, and this one is the least practical to meet all of our needs. The car has been dependable year-round for me and is a blast to drive.

I am open to offers, so please feel free to email with any additional questions you may have.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
