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:"Excellent restoration base or with minimum work can have near original daily driver classic. Even has original jack, only small areas sheet metal damage (one may be old CB radio antenna site) with small areas surface rust, no rust apparent in battery area or floor pan, multiple dings/scratches on exterior including some significant dents and hail damage, only non-original- hot-start relay, heater booster fan and modern radio, door cards with water damage- door vinyl and interior vinyl in very good condition, engine starts and runs smoothly, at this time will not idle, probably needs new battery, ran and drove well until parked about 2 yrs ago, 47,680 on odometer but cannot vouch for this but by interior etc, may be real, appears that engine was pulled before (clutch?) reverse switch wire damage, in summary superficially rough exterior, very good interior (only needs door cards and some minor dash/wiring work which is mainly cosmetic), low reserve for as-is"

An almost completely original Super Beetle, even most of the very basic smog hoses of the era, all engine tin appears to be intact, I have not been able to drive since short test drive about 2 years ago, so low reserve reflects my inability to vouch for present running condition, long linear crack in windshield at center, very hard to see and since not in direct visual may not affect inspection, but may need new windshield, tires with very little wear and as above, almost no rust and no structural rust issues except the small area shown driver-side inner wheel arch in trunk, have new horn which needs to be installed and several other new small replacement/maintenance parts which will be included, parts such as engine/tranny/interior/bumpers with their shocks (bumpers with some dents and cracked plastic trim)  may be worth the reserve.  For right offer, I will get it running to ensure present operating condition. Some of the body dents will require more than a little bondo. The carpet is dirty but in pretty good shape. Also not original is the electric fuel pump you can see on top of the fan housing.

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan.
