This bug runs just fine, engine is strong and all gears work properly. It is a good, solid vehicle but does show some wear. It has about 7000 miles on it since it was built. It has not seen any off-road use, but has been driven on dirt/gravel roads where it has been in South Dakota. The car was originally built professionally in Surprise, AZ before it came to South Dakota. I am selling it because I have 4 VW based vehicles and I just don't use them often enough to justify keeping them all.
The vehicle sale includes a tow bar, two extra sets of tires as listed above, and one extra set of Centerline wheels which have the studded tires mounted on them.
So, what's wrong with it? Here are the items I'm aware of:
There are a few hail dents in the roof, courtesy of a South Dakota hail storm.
The Line lock does not work properly
There are chips in the paint in various areas, notably on the left rear fender. The rear fenders are gray fiberglass and have been primed and rattle can painted.
There are areas on the body that have been primered and rattle can painted. No rust, but I filled in holes in the doors left by previous owners mirror installation, also holes filled on rear quarter panels where fenders were replaced.
The VDO speedometer is driven by a magnetic sensor which is not working correctly. I have been using the GPS for a speedometer. The speedometer drive either needs to be replaced with a direct drive or properly located to work correctly. As a result, the mileage shown above is way in excess of the actual mileage since the engine rebuild.
Shipping: I do not ship. You must make arrangements to ship the vehicle if necessary. I can deliver the vehicle and extras in the Denver area. I travel from Denver to Hot Springs, SD so I could meet buyer on the route to deliver also. You can tow this car easily with the included tow bar. PLEASE: If you want me to deliver as stated above, contact me before bidding to make arrangements since I have a tight schedule.
Payment: I will accept cash or bank check written on local bank. Paypal is acceptable if you cover the paypal additional fees (2.9%). Full payment must be made before I can deliver the vehicle to you.
Inspection: The vehicle will be in Westminster, CO prior to the auction ending date. You may make arrangements through ebay email to see the car anytime after June 8.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
