I purchased this New Beetle on Ebay in 2004 with 52887 miles on it. I have put an average of 9,000 miles per year on it since then. It has been a reliable car for me. I have never allowed anyone to smoke in it. I have had it regularly maintained at Vee Village, a highly respected auto repair shop. This shop has not tried to push me to fix every little thing on the car when I bring it in, but has only focussed on the necessary items. I have always followed through with their recommendations on repairs and they have kept it in good order for my needs. The car does have normal wear and tear on it, but is in quite respectable shape for a 16 year old car. It even comes with the original sunflower on the dash, though the flower is a bit droopy these days. I have kept the carpeted dashboard mat on the dashboard protecting the plastic from sun and other wear. The car still runs well and I will be driving it around town for errands until it sells; thus, the mileage may be slightly higher at the end of the auction. My "new" used car arrives from an Ebay seller at the end of the week. I am selling the car because of the reduced performance of the heater. Vee Village said it will cost $1,500 to replace the foam under the dashboard to get the heater and ac working adequately again. For mild weather climates this should not be an issue. The car heats well in 40+ degree weather. The ac worked fine for me last summer in 80 degree temperatures. Please note in the photos, because of the snow and winter weather, the car is not washed. Smudges and dirt from snow covered streets are currently on the car. I intend to wash it when the weather clears.. You may call me at 816-213-3537 if you have any questions.
