A GREAT AROUND TOWN COMMUTER THAT USES NO GAS OR OIL! I BUILT THIS ELECTRIC BEETLE IN 2008 WHEN GAS HIT $4 PER GALLON. I HAVE DRIVEN IT TO WORK EVER SINCE. I ALSO LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN WITH THE LAST 2 MILES OF THE RETURN TRIP UP HILL AND I HAVE NOT MADE IT ONLY THREE TIMES! I HAVE DRIVEN IT 7,572 MILES IN MY DAILY COMMUTE. I DRIVE 7 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 10-15 MILES FROM WORK AND LIVE IN A FAIRLY LEVEL AREA THIS CAR WOULD SAVE YOU SERIOUS BUCKS! I MADE A MISTAKE WITH MY SECOND SET OF BATTERIES AND CHANGED FROM 8 VOLT GOLF CART BATTRIES TO 12 VOLT MARINE BATTERIES AND THEY ARE NOT NEAR AS GOOD!!! THAT IS WHY I AM RECOMMENDING THE BUYER PURCHASE 9-8 VOLT GOLF CART BATTERIES TO REPLACE WHAT I HAVE IN THE CAR. I HAVE REFLECTED THIS IN MY STARTING PRICE. CAR WILL NEED BATTERIES REPLACED!!! WHEN I BUILT THE CAR I REPLACED ALL WINDOW RUBBER (NO LEAKS), DOOR AND QUARTER PANEL INSIDE PANELS, FENDERS ARE ALL NEW, BUMPERS ARE NEW WITH THE FRONT BUMPER BEING ALUMINUM, BALL JOINT AND TIE ROD ENDS, AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE SHOES. I ALSO REPAIRED THE FLOOR PANS AND UNDERCOATED THEM THEY ARE SOLID. I ADDED AN AIRCRAFT CABIN HEATER FOR HEAT. ALL ACCESSORIES AND LIGHTS WORK OFF A 12 VOLT BATTERY IN THE ORIGINAL SPOT AND IT NEEDS REPLACED. TIRES ARE GOOD. THE SEATS ARE ORIGINAL BUT HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH HOMEMADE COVERS WHICH ARE DECENT BUT NOT PERFECT (SEE PICS). THE FRONT APRON HAS BEEN REPLACED. IT IS A 72 VOLT SYSTEM WITH A D&D ELECTRIC MOTOR AND AN ALLTRAX CONTROLLER. NEVER ANY PROBLEMS. AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE USE 9-8VOLT GOLF CART BATTERIES FOR BEST PERFORMANCE!! THINGS I KNOW THAT ARE PROBLEMS ARE THE HOOD WILL NOT CLOSE CORRECTLY AND RUST SPOTS ON THE LEFT LOWER QUARTER PANEL, OF COURSE THE BATTERIES AND THE ACCESSORY BATTERY. THAT'S IT!! THE ONLY REASON THAT I AM READY TO SELL HER IS BECAUSE I AM PREPARING TO RETIRE AND WOULD LIKE TO PASS HER ALONG TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT COULD USE HER AS A DAILY DRIVER AND MONEY SAVER. EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. I WILL REQUIRE A $500.00 DEPOSIT WITHIN 24 HOURS BY PAYPAL. REMAINDER OF PAYMENT BY CASHIERS CHECK OR CASH OR PAYPAL! THANKS FOR LOOKING! GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!
