Before i begin i put the mileage as it is on the odometer but im sure it is that plus at least 100,000 more.This bug is going to be up for auction for this seven days ONLY ! If it does not sell in the 7 days its going to be parted out by day 8. Im not trying to sound rude but i just dont have the room or time to keep dealing with it, i have waaay to many projects on my plate rite now.Also this vehicle will need to be trailered or put on a flat bed, it is NOT road worthy !!One last thing, This beetle has a clear michigan title,the title is the old style Michigan titles that have not been used since the 80,s. The title is also an open title which means that i have not registered it, it has been signed over to me but i have not filled in the blanks. OK ! Now about the bug!  In my opinion this is a great parts bug but as far as restoring it i feel its too far gone. The floors and rockers have been sort of repaired (see picture) someone spent a lot of time doing what they did but its all pretty useless repair and would need to be all torn out.The doors are both in good shape and i dont see any repairs on them.Both door windows roll up and down with a lot of help (they are real tight) both vent windows open and close.Both door locks work from inside but do not work with key.Both door handles work outside and inside.Both doors drop about 1 inch at rear when opened due to door post on car rotted at bottom.Rear deck lid looks good.Front trunk lid has some minor dents and some surface rust but nothing to serious.The trunk lid also does not latch but everything is there,probably just an adjustment.Wiper motor works on both speeds but there are no wiper arms.Windshield has some wiper scratches.rear window has the defroster element in glass and it looks good but i have not tested it.This bug has no brakes! I added some brake fluid and it started to get pressure then lost it.Theres no leaking brake fluid so i think the master cylinder went.Since there is no brake pressure the brake lights also do not work but one tail light does work.Also one head light works.Turn signals dont work.The sunroof opens all the way and closes 99% of the way, it just doesnt seem to want to go that last 1/4 inch to close. The engine runs very strong and doesnt leak or burn any oil.I did just put a new fuel pump on it the past week, which is understandable since it hasnt run in over 20 years! The engine doesnt seem to want to idle to well which is also understandable since it is missing most of the vacuum lines and still has some really old gas still running through the carb.The engine turns on and off from the key but i had to use a remote starter switch to crank the starter.(remote starter switch is NOT included but you can borrow it to get car on trailer) Also the battery is NOT included but you can use it to start it and get it on trailer.The tranny shifts through all gears and the clutch seems fine.The tires are in pretty good shape with lots of rubber and only a little bit of minor dry rot.Three of the tires hold air with no problem but the driver side front one has a bad valve stem and leaks down in about an hour! The rear seat is missing the back of seat, there is only the bottom section.
Well i guess thats about it.You will notice that one picture is of parts,all of those parts are included with the car and i will list them below. I can also offer delivery on an open trailer for $1.00 per mile per mapquest mileage from my address to your address, USA only, sorry but no Canada delivery.If the delivery option is chosen ,the delivery fee will be paid in advance and is NON-REFUNDABLE !!   The winning bidder will pay a NON-REFUNDABLE $100.00 deposit within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in full within 7 days of auction end.Balance to be paid in CASH at time of pickup.Vehicle is to be removed from my property within 7 days of auction end unless prior agreement has been made BEFORE bidding on car!
Any questions feel free to email me,i will answer usually within 30 minutes.If you want more pictures,please be specific about areas you want pictures of.
Thanks for looking and have a great night!

Audi says fixing diesel emission problem is simple

Fri, Dec 11 2015

Audi reportedly has a simple repair nearly ready to fix the emissions problem on 85,000 vehicles with the 3.0-liter TDI V6 in the US. "Swift, straightforward and customer-friendly solutions are in discussion," company exec Rupert Stadler told workers in Germany, according to Reuters. In late November, Audi announced that the 3.0 TDI had three previously undisclosed auxiliary emission control devices, including one that was potentially considered a defeat device under US law. At the time, the German automaker claimed it could repair the problem with just a software update. Stadler's statement indicates that just such a simple fix might be on the way. Even before Audi's disclosure of the emission control devices, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation against the 3.0-liter TDI for allegedly having software to defeat emissions tests, and the agency later expanded the scope to any vehicle with the engine from 2009 through 2016. The affected models include the Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne. New diesel versions of these vehicles have a stop-sale. Audi offered owners of affected vehicles the same $1,000 Goodwill Package that parent company VW offered to its affected diesel owners. The money is split up into a $500 gift card and $500 to spend at the Audi dealer. The package also comes with extended roadside assistance. Audi needs to find a solution quickly because it's under a 45-day deadline from the California Air Resources Board to submit a recall plan for the 15,000 vehicles with the 3.0 TDI in the state. The automaker also must include a report on any effects to fuel economy and performance from the proposed repair. Related Video:

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers

Fri, Jun 24 2016

It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
