For bid is my 2001 Beetle. It is a beautiful bright blue with a cream interior. It is in very nice condition, with only a few small blemishes to the lower passenger side where it rubbed the curb, as it sets very low. Paint is very shiny and bright. I bought this car about 4 years ago as an extra driver, but have not driven it enough to justify keeping it. It runs fantastic and gets about 24 to 26 mpg. The way it is geared this 2.0 liter 5 speed will go over most hills without shifting. Interior in in nice condition, with lots of options. Power windows, power locks, keyless entry, multi disc cd player in trunk with Monsoon am fm cd player in dash. Heated seats and power sliding pop up sunroof along with cruise control, clock, and outside temp. Front tires are winter treads with about 500 or less miles. Rear tires have about 1/4 tread. New battery this spring. Now for the small problems. The check engine light is on even though it has been covered with something. The diagnosis is oxygen sensor. When I bought the car the light was on, and I replaced the lower sensor. It came back on so I took it to VW and they replaced the cat conv, which was on recall. The light came back on, so this time I replaced the upper sensor. It came back on. I talked to a couple of mechanics, and they said with the ethanol in the gas I might as well forget it, so I did !! I unplugged the seatbelt bell wire. and that caused the air bag light to come on. The brakes act up and make an odd noise off and on, but the brakes are good. Now with that said, this is a nice little car. I would not be afraid to hop in and take it anywhere. The NADA retail on this car is around $5400. Here is your chance to own a great bug at a great price. Ask any questions and I will be glad to answer. I will also be glad to meet you part way if you are driving a distance, contact me and we can make arrangements. Thanks, and good luck.

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
Ecotricity offering 1,000 free EV miles to new customers
Thu, Feb 13 2014Ecotricity is offering electric vehicle drivers in the United Kingdom an lengthy incentive for using green energy: 1,000 miles of free fast charging per year. Called "Green Electricity + Car," the program will power customers' homes with renewable power allow them to charge their cars through Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers, which the company has named the Electric Highway. It makes complete sense for Ecotricity. "To get the greatest environmental benefit from an electric car, it needs to be charged using 100 percent green electricity from the wind and the sun – otherwise you're still powering it from dirty fossil fuels," wrote Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity. Ecotricity, a UK-based producer of green energy, wants to bring fast charging to 90 percent of highway service stations around the UK in the near future and four fast chargers are installed per week under the Electric Highway campaign, the company says. Users can fast charge their EVs in 20-to-30 minutes. Ecotricity recently instituted a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until April 1, reducing energy costs below what's being billed by the country's "Big Six" energy companies. Green Electricity + Car coincides with Volkswagen bringing its electric e-Up! to the British market. Volkswagen Group (UK) Limited imports VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda brand vehicles and has signed a deal with Ecotricity as its official green energy supplier. Volkswagen Group customers purchasing an EV through one of its brands can take advantage of a new, reduced-cost Ecotricity tariff and a free smart meter installation. 08 February 2014 Green Electricity + Car Drivers of electric cars will receive 1,000 free miles every year with a new electricity tariff being launched by green energy company Ecotricity. Green Electricity + Car – will not only power customers homes with green energy but also their cars (either 100% electric or plug-in hybrids), plus they'll get free access to Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers[1] – the Electric Highway. This latest move comes after Ecotricity announced a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until the end of winter (April 1st), making them cheaper[2] than the standard tariff of the Big Six energy companies.
TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
