1998 Volkswagen Beetle Base Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
|
I purchased this New Beetle on Ebay in 2004 with 52887 miles on it. I have put an average of 9,000 miles per year on it since then. It has been a reliable car for me. I have never allowed anyone to smoke in it. I have had it regularly maintained at Vee Village, a highly respected auto repair shop. This shop has not tried to push me to fix every little thing on the car when I bring it in, but has only focussed on the necessary items. I have always followed through with their recommendations on repairs and they have kept it in good order for my needs.
The car does have normal wear and tear on it, but is in quite respectable shape for a 16 year old car. It even comes with the original sunflower on the dash, though the flower is a bit droopy these days. I have kept the carpeted dashboard mat on the dashboard protecting the plastic from sun and other wear. The car still runs well and I will be driving it around town for errands until it sells; thus, the mileage may be slightly higher at the end of the auction. My "new" used car arrives from an Ebay seller at the end of the week. I am selling the car because of the reduced performance of the heater. Vee Village said it will cost $1,500 to replace the foam under the dashboard to get the heater and ac working adequately again. For mild weather climates this should not be an issue. The car heats well in 40+ degree weather. The ac worked fine for me last summer in 80 degree temperatures. Please note in the photos, because of the snow and winter weather, the car is not washed. Smudges and dirt from snow covered streets are currently on the car. I intend to wash it when the weather clears.. You may call me at 816-213-3537 if you have any questions. |

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
