Nice VW Beetle restored in 1998 and garage kept since. Only driven a few hundred miles a year. Original odometer was replaced in 1998, new odometer states mileage since car was rebuilt and reads 2491 miles. Car had a rebuilt 1600cc stock engine and rebuilt manual transmission installed, wheel bearings, brakes, and front end rebuilt, new tires, new paint, new interior, new carpet, Sony CD player and new speakers added, etc. all in 1998. Car was recently started and driven with no mechanical issues. Engine could probably use a minor tune-up but the entire drivetrain has been rebuilt/replaced <2500 miles ago and the valves were adjusted professionally last year. There is a small amount of bubbling of the paint near the rear windows and a few areas where scratches in the paint have been touched up on the vehicle. The interior has a few marks and small tears and there are a few small chips on the dashboard. The car was only driven in warmer months so the heater boxes and vents are not currently hooked up or running. Wiring harness and fuse block were replaced and the car does need some electrical work as most but not all electrical switches, etc. are working at present. Car does have a brand new battery. The hood latch and cable as well as the release lever and glove box were all recently replaced with new parts but need to be installed/adjusted. Car is very nice but is an older car and does have a few issues as indicated and as such is being sold as-is / where-is. It is available to inspect in person, so if you have any questions on the condition please feel free to contact me or come see the vehicle in person. I have a VW Beetle specific tow bar (can be used to tow the vehicle behind a truck/motorhome), a car cover, some documentation, and 2 boxes of original & spare parts that will be included with the car.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
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.
