This is the one you have been waiting for!
The perfect highway cruiser for your family!
 

Here's the car you've been waiting for!  If you've noticed these Beetle TDIs have become extremely rare to find on the open market!   Due to the rising fuel prices most of these car's owners have decided to hang on to them as these cars not only have some of the best mileage of any car on the market, but they also have one of the highest (we believe _the_ highest) fuel range of any car!  Don't be fooled.  I realize that Diesel is a little on the expensive side right now, but that's common for this time of the year!  This car gets on average twice the gas mileage of cars this size.  You can pay $4.00 for a gallon of Diesel to go 49 miles or spend $7.00 for two gallons of gasoline to go the same 49 miles.  That's why these cars are so popular.  Diesel would have to get a lot more expensive than regular gasoline to make this car unpractical!  VW Designed this car with an 14.5 gallon fuel tank!  Even going by the EPA fuel mileage estimates (49 highway) you can expect this car to get 710 miles to the tank.  If you keep the speed down it's been well known that this car will hit 50 miles per gallon which will give you even more increased mileage!  Granted you are not going to run this car until its completely empty each time which is what you'd have to do to see these numbers, but if you run it until the needle is pointing to empty you should have around two gallons left which means you can still go 612 miles between tanks.  Forget going 300-400 miles and having to fill up again!  Fill this car's tank and forget it (at least for 500-600 miles)!  This isn't your typical gas saving car that has a micro sized fuel tank!  You'll really love having the freedom of going so far between fill ups.  For people that don't drive far in their daily routine, that means a couple of weeks before you need to fill up again!
 

Here's a once and a lifetime opportunity to get yourself a very rare classic style, one owner Beetle TDI.  You can really see the well sculpted lines that this car offers.  It really has some character!  For years when you would say the word diesel people would instantly think of thick smoke, loud noise, and the horrible odor that you see from big trucks with diesel engines.  Volkswagen improved technology and made diesel technology cleaner, quieter, and odor free!  This diesel engine really doesn't share any of the characteristics that other diesels have.  You don't even have to wait before starting it.  It starts right up just like a gas engine!  Most people did not know about these innovations so the sales of these classic Beetle TDIs were very low making this car very hard to find!  Those of you that are looking for a truly incredible example of a Beetle in the TDI version are in luck!  We've got one right here for your consideration!
 

This is your golden opportunity to purchase that Beetle TDI that you've always been wanting!  This Beetle TDI comes to you in one of the most desirable color combination, Black with Beige leather on the inside, very attractive indeed!  This is the TDI turbo diesel version that is one of the cheapest Beetles to own as well as maintain. Its a well known fact that these engines last for hundreds of thousands of miles and still provide unbelievable gas mileage (around 50 mpg).  This is a one owner, non smoker, Texas car.  The car has a spotless history report! It's spent its entire life registered right here in Texas!  You don't have to worry about rust or corrosion like most of these cars which have been up north.  This one has spent its entire life right here in rust free Central Texas! We checked all around the car and found NO RUST and no indications the car will develop rust in the future!  This car may also have the lowest mileage in the country for a 2000 model with only 21,590 original miles on it.  That's simply incredible to have a TDI Diesel with only 21,000 miles on it!  Everything we've seen on the market has at least twice this mileage and commonly three to four times the mileage.  These cars get the best fuel mileage so naturally they're the first choice when it comes to being the car to drive which has led to most of these cars having plenty of mileage on them.  Not this one!  You can finally enjoy a TDI that has incredibly low mileage so you know that it will last you for many years and many hundreds of thousands of miles in the future!  You'll have a hard time finding anything that is a 2000 model of anything with 21k miles, much less the car of your dreams!  The car's life is just beginning to get started!
 

You can really enjoy this car as its still in its infancy.  With the proven reliability of these TDI engines behind this car and the quality German engineering of Volkswagen you know that this mileage is just the tip of the iceberg with this car.  Although you don't see them on the market often, there are plenty of proud VW owners that have these cars with 300,000, 400,000 or even 500,000 miles and they have absolutely no intention of selling them!  They're laughing to the bank with the thousands of dollars they've saved on gas over the years! You'll really be impressed with how nice the car is inside.  It still looks very good!  With the 5-speed manual transmission and cruise control, this would make a great highway car, or as a great around town car, even both!   You'll really be amazed by how nice the car's interior is!  The car really has been kept clean!  The a/c is very cold and the heat is hot.  All the windows, power locks, seats, power sunroof, and power mirrors work great!   It also has cruise control which makes those highway drives much easier. No warning lights remain illuminated on the dash after the vehicle is started, just as it should be!  The factory VW stereo has great sound.  What will really impress you is the car's exterior.  The paint still looks nice and shiny.  The interior of the car is also in beautiful condition showing only the most minimal wear! The factory wheels are beautiful and are matched to a set of tires that are nearly new and still have most of their tread remaining.  As a special bonus you get all the car's books!
 

So how does it drive?   You'll be very pleased with how well this car has been kept.  It still drives wonderfully!  The suspension is tight, the car hugs the turns and absorbs the bumps just as it did when it was new.  You'll be completely blown away when you drive this car and feel how nice it still is!  We're very confident that this car will last for many more years and miles of driving pleasure.  The brakes stop the car evenly and effectively just as they should.  The car's Turbo Diesel engine still runs great.  It's very quick to start when cold weather its sitting overnight or for a couple of days! It still runs very smoothly.  It has great pickup and great acceleration at both low and highway speeds.   This has to be the quickest diesel I've ever driven.  It has great pickup and great acceleration at both low and highway speeds.  You will have no trouble passing slower traffic in this car.  Unlike other cars, you don't have to sacrifice performance to get good fuel economy!  This car has no trouble getting up to highway speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour in a very reasonable time!  The turbo is still kicking in wonderfully making this gas saver have some very reasonable power.  The 5-speed manual transmission shifts very smooth, just as it should.  The clutch still feels great! All the lights work great.  You'll really be pleased with the overall quality of this car when you get in it and drive it!  It runs and drives just as you'd expect with only 21,000 miles on it!
 

You will have a very hard time finding a car that's this nice for such little money.  This car is really a value with a selling price well below any guidebook's standards.  This would make a great car for anyone, being a highway driver or a car to get around town.  These classic body style Beetle TDIs are incredibly hard to find, and needless to say that with this kind of low mileage (21,000!) they are virtually impossible to find!  We believe you'll never again get a chance to purchase a Beetle TDI with this kind of low mileage!  These cars provide an incredible amount of room while providing unmatched fuel economy!  This really is a great car for anyone!  With gas prices on the rise, this car will demonstrate its great value time and time again every time you come up to the pump and fill up.  As you probably know these cars are getting snapped up quickly when they hit the market.  The general public is starting to realize what VW owners have known for over 10 years!   The TDI simply is the best deal out there!  Very soon you won't see any more of these Beetle TDI models on the market.  They'll all be snapped up by people who intend to "drive them until the wheels fall off".  Of course wheels falling off on these rock solid cars seldomly happens if ever, but you get the idea.  The reserve is low and we anticipate it being met well before the end of the auction.  That's right, we actually plan on selling this fine car at the end of the auction.   With experts predicting that gas prices will only go up as time goes on, this car will demonstrate its great value time and time again.  These cars don't come around every day!  In fact, this is the only classic body style Beetle TDI we've seen in a very long time and it'll probably be one of the last ones we have judging by how quickly these cars are getting snapped up!  You'll really see the benefit of getting a car that's a one owner.  When someone pays the full sticker price for the car they tend to take steps to make sure that the car stays in good condition while they're driving it as they remember what the car looked like when it was brand new!  This one really shows that an effort was made to keep this car in beautiful condition!  Bid early and follow the auction to the end, don't let another bidder with a couple of quick clicks of the mouse in the final minutes of the auction take your dream car away from you!  Don't settle for second best, get the car of your dreams and the luxury you deserve!  You will not be disappointed!  Don't let this wonderful opportunity pass you by!

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
