THESE NEW BEETLES ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CARS. THE BEST SMALL CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN. THEY FEEL LIKE A MID-SIZE CAR INSIDE; THEY'RE FUEL EFFICIENT WITHOUT BEING GUTLESS; THEY'RE SOLID; AND VOLKSWAGENS ARE THE MOST REASONABLY PRICED GERMAN CARS! I LIKE THEM SO MUCH THAT I BOUGHT 2 OF THEM. I ALSO OWN MINI COOPERS AND A FIAT 500. THE NEW 2012 STYLE BEETLE IS THE OVERALL BEST IN MY OPINION.
DESCRIPTION: 2012 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2.5L AUTOMATIC. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AT LEWISVILLE VOLKSWAGEN IN THE DALLAS AREA, MAY 3, 2012 AS A BRAND NEW CAR.
YES, CAR IS BLUETOOTH EQUIPPED
I IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED MY LONG-STANDING TRADITION OF IMPROVING ON THE FACTORY BUILD.
SPECIFICALLY:
1) I TOOK THE BLACK FINISHED "HERITAGE" WHEELS (WHICH BY THE WAY ARE NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON LATE '13s AND '14s) AND SENT THEM OUT TO BE TRIPLE CHROME PLATED. WHEN THEY GOT BACK I LIKED THE LOOK OF THE BASIC HERITAGE WHEEL, SO I FOUND A SUITABLE CENTER CAP FROM ANOTHER TYPE OF VW WHEEL, AND SHOW THE CAR THIS WAY. I DO HAVE THE LARGE CENTER CAPS AND TRIM RINGS. BUT, MY RATIONALE IS WHY PUT PLASTIC CHROME PLATED STUFF OVER CHROMED ALUMINUM WHEELS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY LOOK LIKE THIS!
2) INSTALLED RETRO WIDE-WHITEWALL RADIAL TIRES. THEY ARE THE "REAL" THING, NOT SOME BUFFED OR GRAFTED ON WHITEWALL. THEY'RE FROM AMERICAN CLASSICS OF COKER TIRE.
3) TOOK THE FLAT BLACK PLASTIC CENTER FRONT GRILLE, AND SIDE CORNERING LIGHT ASSEMBLIES (THE SIDE GRILLES) AND HAD THEM CHROME PLATED. NOT CHROME SPRAY PAINT, THESE ARE THE REAL THING. CHROME PLATED BY THE ONE COMPANY IN THE USA THAT'LL DO IT. MEGABUCKS!
4) FACTORY CHROME MIRROR CAPS WEREN'T AVAILABLE, NEITHER WERE CHROME DOOR HANDLES. THESE WERE ALSO CHROME PLATED. THEY'RE NOT STICK ON TOPPERS. THEY'RE THE REAL, VW THING. ONLY BETTER, 'CAUSE THEY'RE CHROME PLATED.
5) CHROME VW FACTORY EXHAUST FINISHERS;
6) CHROME "AIR SCOOPS" (AS A NOD TO THE ORIGINAL VW BEETLES)
7) CHROME VOLKSWAGEN SCRIPT AND CHROME BEETLE SCRIPT. EACH ONE OF THESE EMBLEMS IS $60
8) CAR ALSO HAS FACTORY MONSTER MATS, CARGO BLOCKS, CARGO COMPARTMENT MAT, FIRST AID KIT.
9) I HAD TO ADD THE FACTORY CENTER ARMREST BETWEEN THE SEATS; NON-TURBOS DIDN'T COME WITH IT; THAT COST $600.00!
10) CAR HAS "VIN ETCH" WHERE PARTS ARE ETCHED WITH THE VIN (ANTI-THEFT)
WHAT IT COST:
SELLING PRICE OF CAR: $22149.00
CHROME PLATING OF WHEELS: $1500.00
WIDE WHITEWALL TIRES: $1500.00
CHROME PLATING OF FRONT END PARTS AND MIRRORS/DOOR HANDLES: $2000.00
CHROME EMBLEMS: $260.00 CENTER ARMREST $600.00
THIS CAR COST $28,009.00 TO BUILD LIKE THIS.
I'LL SELL IT FOR $19,900.00
THAT'S $8,109.00 LESS THAN IT COST ME; AND JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S A 2012. THE CONDITION IS EVERY BIT AS "NEW" AS A 2014 ON YOUR DEALER'S FLOOR RIGHT NOW.
SO NO, I WON'T SELL IT FOR WHOLESALE BOOK. IT'S NOT A WHOLESALE PIECE; IT'S NOT A COMMON USED BEETLE. BLUEBOOK AVERAGES DON'T APPLY TO CUSTOMIZED CARS. THE PERSON WHO'LL BUY THIS CAR WILL UNDERSTAND THAT.
TERMS & CONDITIONS: YOU SHOULD READ IT SO THERE ARE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS!
1) PRICE IS FOR THE CAR, AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, TITLE TRANSFER FEES, REGISTRATION OR LICENSE FEES.
2) VEHICLE IS SOLD STRICTLY "AS-IS" AND "WHERE-IS". I AM A PRIVATE PERSON SELLING HIS OWN PERSONAL VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS A VALID FACTORY VOLKSWAGEN WARRANTY; THE REMAINDER OF 3 YR/ 36,000 MILES. DELIVERY DATE WAS 05/03/12; CURRENT MILES ARE 4,300. YOU CAN DO THE MATH. VW EXTENDED WARRANTIES ARE EASY TO BUY AND A GREAT THING; IF YOU WANT TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AT A GOOD COST I CAN PUT YOU IN CHARGE WITH A NICE GUY AT THE VW DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM.
3) I WARRANT THE CAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF IT. (REMEMBER IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW). NO ACCIDENTS, HAIL, FLOOD, FIRE, ETC. THE CARFAX WILL TESTIFY TO THAT. BESIDES THAT STATEMENT, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE TO THE BUYER; THE FACTORY I STILL ON THE HOOK FOR THAT!
4) VEHICLE MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS (TOTAL DAYS, NOT BUSINESS DAYS) OF YOUR DECISION TO BUY-IT-NOW.
5) PAYMENT MUST BE BY BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR BANK CASHIER'S CHECK ON KNOWN BANK.
6) VW CREDIT HOLDS TITLE TO THE VEHICLE. SO HERE'S HOW IT WORKS; YOU'LL PAY FOR THE CAR; WHEN YOUR MONEY CLEARS MY BANK YOU TAKE THE CAR; WE'LL HAVE A NOTARIZED AGREEMENT WHICH STATES THAT YOU'LL GET THE TITLE AS SOON AS I HAVE RECEIVED IT FROM VW CREDIT. ALL LEGAL AND UPFRONT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT CALL ME. NEED A REFERENCE THAT I'M A PERSON OF INTEGRITY? NO PROBLEM. GLAD TO SUPPLY IT.
7) VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT HORSESHOE BAY, TEXAS. JUST ONE HOUR WEST OF AUSTIN IN BEAUTIFUL HIGHLAND LAKES AREA OF THE HILL COUNTRY. HORSESHOE BAY IS A WORLD-CLASS OUTDOOR RECREATION RESORT COMMUNITY. GREAT GOLF, TENNIS, BOATING. WE HAVE A MARRIOTT RESORT IN THIS SMALL TOWN OF 5000.
IF YOU WANT ME TO PERSONALLY DELIVER THE CAR, THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION; IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHAT I'D HAVE TO CHARGE YOU. VEHICLE WOULD OF COURSE HAVE TO BE PAID FOR FIRST, AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO INSURE IT ON YOUR POLICY. WE CAN TALK ABOUT DELIVERY IF NEED BE.
ONE FINAL NOTE: THERE ALWAYS SEEM TO BE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO FEEL IT'S THEIR BIRTHRIGHT TO COMMENT (UNSOLICITED) ON WHY THEY FEEL A SELLER'S PRICE IS TOO HIGH. TO THOSE FOLKS I SAY THIS; KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF; I'VE BEEN IN THE CAR BUSINESS FOR 4 DECADES NOW AND........"I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE". BOTTOM LINE IS, IT'S MY CAR, AND THE PRICE LISTED IS WHAT IT IS. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WHOLESALER, GO GET YOUR DEALER'S LICENSE AND GO TO A WHOLESALE AUTO AUCTION. THIS IS A CAR THAT WILL BE SOLD ON A RETAIL BASIS.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]
Tue, 31 Dec 2013Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
Jaguar Land Rover remains bullish on diesels
Wed, Sep 30 2015Despite Volkswagen's recent diesel scandal, Jaguar Land Rover is pushing ahead with ambitious plans to roll out the technology across most of its lineup in the coming years. Jaguar and Land Rover will add diesel engine variants to every model in their lineups, except for the Jaguar F-Type sports car. Land Rover launched the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with available 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesels, and together they have sold more than 330 units so far in September, their first month on sale in the United States. JLA officials say they've seen no fallout from VW's emissions problem and are adamant their diesels meet EPA standards. "That has been our strategy, and it is not changing," Joe Eberhardt, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO, told the Automotive Press Association on Wednesday in Detroit. "You have to deal with the situations as they arrive. We are confident of diesel." Jaguar will get another diesel next year from its Ingenium engine family, which will initially be sold in the XE sedan and the F-Pace crossover. It's a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit and makes 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. A JLR spokesman said the Ingenium has not yet gone through the EPA certification process, and the diesel-powered models will arrive in the fall. Jaguar also plans to add diesel engines to the flagship XJ and XF sedans. Land Rovers, including the Discovery and Evoque, will also get diesel options, and the company estimates the technology will offer 20- to 30-percent improvements in fuel economy, depending on the vehicle. Eberhardt said it is "too soon to tell" if the diesel market will be weighed down by Volkswagen's situation. The German automaker admitted to cheating on emissions tests to make its diesel-powered cars appear to run cleaner than they actually do in real-world situations. The ensuing outrage forced longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn to step down and prompted a reorganization of the company, which faces legal and regulatory action around the world. Still, Eberhardt maintains JLR is "very confident" in its diesels, which are part of its strategy to grow sales around the world. Land Rover has experienced rapid growth under the ownership of Indian conglomerate, Tata Motors, while Jaguar is set to revitalize its lineup with new entries like the XE and F-Pace to reach a broader market segment.
