Up for auction is this rare 1998 Volkswagen Beetle TDI 5-speed diesel. This 1-owner, accident free vehicle with only 63k original miles has been serviced at the local VW dealership for its entire life. The 1.9 turbo diesel engine operates flawlessly. The car is factory stock and is equipped with VW's rare 5-speed transmission along with full power accessories and alloy wheels. Tires have 85% tread remaining. Everything works like it should and the car runs smooth. The car has a few light scratches and chips but overall the car's condition is well above-average. A/C blows cold, clutch shifts like-new, and no in-dash warning lights of any kind are on. Gas prices are on the rise so you won't want to miss this chance to own one of the lowest mileage, 1-owner Beetles around. This is a rare 5-speed model that gets 52 to 54 MPG on a regular basis at 65 to 70 MPH. Well-maintained TDIs such as this one are known for being extremely durable and good for over 300k miles without significant issues. The '98 to '02 VW manual gearbox diesels are the "best of breed", most efficient TDIs produced with higher MPG than the later PD engines. Great ride with plenty of usable, low-end torque. Check out the HD video below, the car really looks and runs great. The car just passed MD state inspection within the last 50 miles. Maryland is one of the strictest in the country.
