2001 Volkswagen New Beetle Turbo... Fully Loaded...88k Miles on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I'm selling my 2001 VW Beetle Turbo that has 88,000 miles on it. This vehicle is in great shape and is fully loaded. This bug runs smooth and great, one of the beat cars I've owned. I'm the seconde owner of the vehicle, the original owners kept it in a garage most of the time and has had most of the mechanical work done at the dealership, besides oil changes and tires. The original owners gave us about 85% of the receipts and info related to the car. This car is rust free and gives a smooth ride, even at 110... :) I've had the vehicle for roughly a year and haven't had any problems besides having the water pump and belt changed which was due to be changed after 10 years. Ill list the pros and cons,
PROS; Sun roof Heated seats Automatic tranny Electric windows and locks CD player ( which needs reset ) New front tires Recently had water pump and timing belt replaced. Gets great gas mileage. (1.8 engine) Cons; Driver side mirror is slightly broke. Not the mirror it's self but the casing that holds it in place. We have it fixed most the way with a adhesive and only needs adjusted occasionally but doesn't effect you while driving. (See picture) Exhaust pipe fascist is loose, slight vibration noise while running, nothing major and not loud. There's flaking paint on the wing of the bug. This was a after market part and different paint was used on it. You can either remove the wing or just re-paint it. (see picture) I'm asking 5,500 or best offer. I'm selling it because I'm moving to hawaii and can't take with me. This item is pick up only and must have POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO BUY. Any questions let me know. I can send more pics if needed. Thanks |

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
