Selling my wife's car.  Super nice 2001 VW Turbo Diesel Beetle.  This has been her daily commuting car, but with our second child born, it has become impractical to use with two car seats.  Wanting to upgrade to more family geared car... So here's your opportunity to own a highly sought after car!!  

This Beetle runs awesome, you probably won't find a better one any time soon!  Super running diesel Bug.  Very reliable.  Clean, no smells, super solid, ready to go!  Averages 45+ MPG!!  No shimmys, rattles, or weird noises.  Tracks straight and rolls smooth.  Starts smooth and automatic transmission works as should.   All lights, horn, accessories work as should. Added a panzer plate from diesel geek dot com, it's a super heavy duty aluminum skid plate to protect engine and transmission. Paid $300. 
The beetle looks pretty good for being a 2001, although, I'm not going to lie, it is a 2001 and has it's fair share of scratches, dings, and patchy clear coat flake.  The hood and top have the most clear coat fade.  Please see pictures.  All in all, it's in ok shape.  Front lower valance is missing, missed a turn this pass winter, hit a ditch and messed it up.  Can be found here on Ebay for $200. Front left hand corner of bumper got cracked and flaked some paint off.  See pic. 
Mechanically, car is in great shape and would drive anywhere.  No oil leaks anywhere!  All maintenance is up to date.  All records availible with car.  Recent maintenance includes new injector pump, fuel filter, and new timing belt.  Tires are in newer Goodyear TripleTread tires in excellent shape and all match.  An extra set of snow tires will be include in sale of beetle.  Newer front and rear brakes, new front rotors, new serpentine belt, new air filter, and mass flow sensor, two brand new OEM headlights!  Old headlights were faded and dim.  Hot heater, ice cold A/C, Radio is an Sony cd with aux input.  Wife wanted to listen to her tunes!  Stock VW radio will be included in sale.  I have 3 keys for this car.  1 collapsible, with alarm button, and trunk pop, and the other 2 are valet keys.
Since we have owned the car, the airbag light has been on.  VW mechanic told us it was the passenger seat belt latch switch bad, but explained it would not affect operation of air bags.  We just never got it fixed.  This past spring the check engine light has come on and the VW mechanic explained that the glow plug wiring bridge needs replaced to correct fault.  Have receipt with estimate.  Figured I'd do it myself this summer, but have not gotten to it.  The part sells on Ebay for $60.  Glow plugs are only needed when it gets cold, so daily summer driving has been no problem.  Headliner has slight sag, and drivers seat has minor rip, see pic.
I live minutes from Columbus Ohio.  If high bidder lives out of state would like to fly in to Port Columbus, would be willing to meet at airport.  Please email me if you believe this would be an option for you.  My reserve is slightly below my Buy it Now price.  I purchased this Beetle off Ebay almost two years ago, and have sold several other of my vehicles here on Ebay.  Title is clear and have in hand.  If you live in the area and want to take for a test drive, please message me.
I have been truthful about any and all issues.  Bid with confidence!  My wife and I have been buying and selling on Ebay since '95 with Excellent feedback.  If you have any questions or if I have left something out, please email me and will respond an quick as possible.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.

Skoda launching two new CNG-powered vehicles in Europe in June

Thu, May 29 2014

Skoda's second- and third-ever production compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles aren't exactly speed burners, but they are efficient. The Czech automaker, which is owned by Volkswagen, will introduce its Octavia G-TEC and Octavia Combi G-TEC models to most of Europe next month. Skoda's first CNG model was the Citigo, which debuted in 2012. The Octavia models will have a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that will deliver about 109 horsepower. Quickness isn't these cars' virtue, as their 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time will be almost 11 seconds. But they can go as far as 826 miles on their tanks of gas and CNG, enough to go from Prague to Rome in one shot, in case anyone was curious. Or nuts. The move by Skoda makes sense, as the CNG market in Europe has long been far further along than it is on this side of the pond, where CNG has primarily been used to move delivery trucks, but it's now available in pickups form Chrysler, Ford and General Motors as well as passenger cars from Chevy and Honda. The Skoda Citigo has moved almost 2,000 units since its debut, with 1,300 vehicles sold last year alone. That car can go as far as 385 miles on CNG and gasoline combined, which is impressive but not quite as bladder busting as the Octavia models. Check out Skoda's press release below. SKODA continues its CNG offensive with the new SKODA Octavia G-TEC Launch of the new SKODA Octavia G-TEC and new Octavia Combi G-TEC in June First SKODA Octavia with natural gas drive as standard; 97 g CO2/km High-performance technology: bivalent turbo engine 1.4 TSI/81 kW The ultimate in fuel economy: up to 1,330 km with natural gas and petrol SKODA Citigo G-TEC has enjoyed market success since 2012; only 79 g CO2/km Natural gas is the environmentally-friendly, cost-effective alternative Mlada Boleslav, 19 May 2014 – Expanding its environmentally-friendly model range, SKODA is renewing its emphasis on compressed natural gas vehicles. The new SKODA Octavia G-TEC and the new SKODA Octavia Combi G-TEC will be given their market premiere in June. This will increase the brand's CNG range to three models. Since the end of 2012, the little natural gas-drive Citigo has been successfully touring the European markets. "With the new Octavia G-TEC and the Octavia Combi G-TEC, our model range is becoming even more environmentally-friendly," says Dr Frank Welsch, SKODA Board Member for Technical Development.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
