We bought this car nine years ago for our two daughters to drive in high school and college. It served them very well but now they're both out of school and it's time to serve as economical and dependable transportation for someone else.
The girls put approximately 65,000 reliable miles on the car. The economical diesel engine consistently returned 42-45mpg in city driving and nearly 50mpg on the highway. We have always had it dealer serviced and it never let them down. The tires and brakes are very good. The transmission shifts crisply and the engine starts quickly without excessive smoke. Timing belt and glow plugs done within the last 40,000 miles and receipts for all other service performed. The passenger door power window unit and heater blower are currently not working and will need repair. Also, ABS is intermittent and should be checked. Check engine light and air bag light occasionally send false signals but have been checked and reveal no issues.
We had the black accent paint done to distinguish the car even more. It does show some rock chips on close inspection but it still draws compliments. There is a dent in the right rocker panel but it has sustained no accident damage during the course of our ownership. The paint shows a few small bubbling areas but there is not visible rust. Overall, the car is very presentable for a daily driver. The cloth upholstery is also in good condition with tears or split seams.
This car should have plenty of reliable and economical miles left in it for the next owner. Rather than paying someone to repair the window regulator and heater fan, we chose to price the car very reasonably for a quick sale. It may very well be the best value on an automatic TDI Beetle available today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange a personal inspection and/or test drive (which I encourage). The car is sold with no warranties expressed or implied. Full payment is due within one week of auction's end. I can store it for up to thirty days prior to pick up. Thank you for your interest!

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
