1999 Vw Cabrio For Restoration on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
|
I've been in the car restoration business for 40 years and bought this last October to restore and sell this summer; however the employee who would have done most of the work got sick and couldn't work. I wear about 40 hats in the business so with my other projects have not gotten around to it and am not going to. I mention I've been in business for 40 years to convey the idea that I know how to pick the easy & profitable restorations. In any case this has the 2 liter engine, which was running well when purchased; however doesn't seem to want to start now due to the factory alarm shutting things down. the car drove well with the exception that it didn't want to go into a couple of gears-originally I thought it might be the linkage, now think the tranny may need changing or rebuilding. The body is quite straight and rust free. The top is good, but it will need a back window. the interior has some split seams which can be sewed easily. While maybe not for the faint of heart or totally inexperienced it would be a shame to junk this car. As a bonded Washington dealer the purchaser is gauranteed good tittle to this car. Washington residents must pay sales tax & transfer fees as well as signing applicable transfer documents out of state residents have no taxes to pay,but do have to sign the appropriate sales documents and unless stated other wise all vehicle sales are as is. Contact is required with in 48 hours and a 20% downpayment is due in 3 days with the balance due with in 10 days of the auction end. Transportation at purchasers expense can be arranged anywhere in the world. I'm getting rid of 40 years worth of cars, parts, Motorcycle stuff, automobilia, and antiques so check out my other auctions most of which are no reserve & free shipping

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
