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.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava
Sun, Apr 12 2015Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.
Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year
Sat, Dec 27 2014It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change.

But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.
