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.

2015 VW e-Golf gets cheaper Limited Editon, starts at $33,450*

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Typically when an automaker announces a new limited edition of one of its models, it comes at a premium. Maybe the extra cost turns out to be worth it due to bundled options, but there's almost always a cost. But not with the new Volkswagen e-Golf Limited Edition. For this model, VW has gone the opposite direction by cutting equipment out of the electric hatchback and charging less for it. Compared to the SEL Premium model, the Limited Edition of the e-Golf drops the alloys in favor of 16-inch steel wheels, halogen headlights in place of LEDs, cloth upholstery instead of leatherette, and drops the heat-pump system. As a result, the e-Golf costs $2,000 less, priced at $33,450 (*before delivery) and available to lease for $229 per month. For that, you still get the electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque, 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and 7.2 kW onboard charger and class-leading energy consumption. VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES A NEW TRIM LINE FOR THE FULLY-ELECTRIC 2015 e-GOLF - e-Golf Limited Edition model goes on sale with a starting price of $33,450 - Drivetrain consists of 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque; 7.2 kW onboard charger is standard - Standard fast charging capability allows up to 80 percent battery charge in 30 minutes - EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 116 combined MPGe puts e-Golf at top of the 2015 EPA Compact Size Class - A great value, with a host of features that include KESSY® Keyless access with push-button start, navigation system, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with C-shaped light signature, and more Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced that a lower-priced version of the fully-electric 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf will go on sale at participating dealerships. The 2015 e-Golf Limited Edition is priced nearly $2,000 less than its SEL counterpart at $33,450, without compromising performance, quality, or versatility. The e-Golf Limited Edition is also available at a monthly lease price of $229, plus applicable fees. The e-Golf Limited Edition is built on the same sporty Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform as the rest of the award-winning Golf family. It is powered by a compact electric motor and a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (built in-house at the Volkswagen facility in Braunschweig, Germany), and offers 115 horsepower and class-leading torque of 199 pound feet.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
