I personally LOVE driving this car!! This car is in overall much better condition than I would expect from the year and miles. This time of year, everyone wants a car with icy cold air conditioning. Perfect for those recent graduates, a special treat for yourself, or practical as a daily driver. As a modern interpretation of the original Beetle, the current model is a one-of-a-kind sporty hatchback in a world filled with cookie-cutter sedans and coupes. The bubble-shaped roof gives the four-seat New Beetle a strong visual link to the original. Whereas the original had an air-cooled rear engine and rear-wheel drive, the New Beetle is based on the Golf/Jetta platform and has a front engine and front-wheel drive. EXTERIOR: The Exterior of this VW New Beetle is just Awesome! It is a Bright Blue Pearl, so you get a Beautiful Blue Body Exterior and Black Sport Cloth Interior which is a really nice color combination. This car looks sharp and turns heads. Overall, the outside of this car is just great, and is in much better condition than I would expect for a 2001 model! The outside body of this VW Beetle is in Great Condition. The blue paint is shiny and glossy! All Panels, Door Handles, and Trim are finished in coordinating Blue. The only touches of Silver are the front and rear VW symbols. The overall consistency of color really adds to the appeal of this car. This VW is riding on a set of almost new tires. The tires are in great condition and just passed VA State Safety Inspection. The Headlights are clear and you also get a built in license plate holder. With 8/2011 inspection, this car is ready to go!! The New Beetle brought back a Classic. This New Beetle is a re-design of the classic car from the 70s. A fun rounded exterior body with a modern look makes for a fun car to drive. Modern day comfort and dependability allows you to relive the memories of the past while cruising with present day comforts. The rear of this VW Beetle looks cool too! The depth of the rear hatch and the bumper adds to the appeal of this sedan. You will find there is the VW emblem in the middle. There is a stationary antennae on the rear window. There is a built in license plate holder here. Overall, the Exterior Condition of this Beetle is in Very Good Condition. I do not see any indications of body or paint work. For a vehicle of this age and mileage it looks really good. The only thing I can mention on this car is are some minor road rash on the front bumper and maybe a few small scuffs on the rear bumper, but none of this is significant and all consistent with the age. I did not find anything else noteworthy or obvious or atypical for the year and miles. This car just looks great! INTERIOR: Inside this Beetle you will find to be in Great Condition. Overall, the interior looks, smells and feels just great. You will find the inside to be in better than average condition. The Interior is Gray Sport Cloth and the dash is coordinating Black and Gray! All interior trim pieces, dash, and the like are a combination of gray and black. The seats upholstery is gray sport cloth. The seats are a combination of two shades of gray and have a very cool sport print on some of the panels. The seats have panels in a patterned sport cloth. The combination of seat styling looks great! The carpets and front floor mats are also black and in very good condition. You will not find any rips, tears, holes or burns inside this New Beetle. One unique and cool part of the New Beetle are the interior panels that are painted to match the outside of the car. You will notice bright blue accents on the inside of the doors that match the exterior body color. In true iconic VW fashion, there is a small vase on the front dash for a flower, or a pen, or whatever you find fits your personally style. Inside this Beetle, you will find lots of surprises and upgrades. There are Power Windows, with Driver 1 Touch Auto Power! There are also power door locks and 2 remote keyless entry fobs. With this remote entry you can lock, unlock and even pop the trunk from afar. There is Cruise Control, we tested and it works perfectly. There is AC that blows cold and the air vents, for both heat and cold, are directionally and air flow adjustable. The exterior side view mirrors are also power adjustable from the driver's door. The driver side door has controls for all of the power windows and the door locks. You can also adjust the power mirrors here. The gas door and trunk remote release buttons are here on the bottom next to the cubby for storage. The notice the door handle has some scratching on it, just from wear not a big deal. You also get chrome door handles which look really sharp against the Gray and Black Interior. The center dash houses the audio system and the climate control. The sound system in this New Beetle is great! You will find an In Dash Cassette player and AM FM Tuner. Located in the trunk is the compartment for you to easily add a 6 disc changer. The speakers all sound great, they are crisp and clear. The center console also has a padded armrest which opens up for even more storage. The glove box houses the owner's manual. This VW comes with 2 sets of keys including the remote fobs. The front seats are individual bucket style seats. These seats are very comfortable with high backs, solid moldings, and large supportive seat bottoms. Both front seats are multi point adjustable with recline. Both front seats also have height adjustable Headrests and height adjustable Shoulder Belts, too! The rear set is surprisingly roomy. You can seat 2 more adults back here. There is a lot more leg and head room that I expected back there! I rode in the back seat personally for over an hour and was surprisingly comfortable. This rear bench will fold down for more cargo space. You can also flip the rear seat forward and then the rear seatback will stil totally flush for even more hauling space. Folding the seat down either way is surprisingly easy. It is super easy to do too!! The trunk is large and can hold tons of stuff. You have a full size spare tire recessed here too! There is another AC power source in the rear trunk area, too. The Overall Interior of this Car is very nice. I notice some small scratching on the door handle on the driver side and front dash area, but for this Beetle that is all I see to mention. This car really looks Great! Overall the Interior of this Beetle GLS is well equipped and in better condition than I would expect. I usually see more wear and tear on a 2001 model car. This is a great car for anyone.

Look at Wal-Mart, high volume companies save you money. 2. In VA, all of our running vehicles have to be State Safety Inspected. Virginia has one of the most strict inspection processes. An independent shop inspects such components as Lights, Suspension, Brakes, Tires, Windshield, and More! We usually plan on spending at least $600 per car to get them to pass state inspection. So, you have piece of mind that this inspection has been done recently. 3. As a dealer, you never have to wait to legally drive and register your car. Even if there is a bank payoff or title, we can facilitate an easy exchange and provide any necessary temporary tags and accompanying paperwork so you can drive away at the time of pick up.

On, eBay you have the confidence that you are shopping with a state licensed, bonded and insured company. We cannot scam and run eBay frauds the way private sellers could.

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that we sell quality cars. When they are traded in, someone at the new car dealer drives the car. When we buy the car, someone from our dealership drives the car. If a car has a problem we either fix it or disclose it. We have no intention or knowledge of ever selling a car with a problem. However, all cars break. I wish I could, but I cannot predict when a car will break. We do our best to represent the vehicle fairly, however, we are human and do make mistakes.

We sell cars As Is, and cannot warranty any vehicles we sell so please take careful consideration when bidding on or buying now these cars. Whenever we sell a car on eBay, we always seem to be asked how we think the car would function on a long drive home from pick up.
