Over-all ConditionFor sale is my dad's dependable TDI Beetle. It was my daily driver, but I bought my own car. The bug is awesome! The first owner was a lady. Dad is the second owner and keeps it in great condition. He is an owner/operator trucker and loves his diesels. When we got the bug, Dad mainly used it on the highway on his commute. I've also driven the car quite a bit, and I'm a girl. Dad just put new snow tires on the car around 2,000 miles ago. Miles aren't exact, as it's still being driven here and there, but after all this time it still runs with its ORIGINAL CLUTCH, STRUTS, AND SHOCKS. That's proof that the overall condition of this car is fantastic! Good SpecificsLeather interior is nearly perfect.Exterior is in great conditionEngine runs smoothlyTransmission works perfectly.Averages 43 mpg. Doesn't seem to matter how you drive it.Top of the engine replaced at about 140,000 miles (due to water pump quitting, allowing the timing belt to jump)Timing belt kit replaced at 218,648 milesSerpentine belt replaced at 218,648 milesVacuum line replaced at 218,648 milesGlow plug wire harness replaced at 218,648 miles2 wire connectors replaced at 218,648 milesPower supply relay replaced at 218,648 milesNew snow tires put on around 2,000 miles agoHitch is installed (Use for small hauls)Smoke freeOdor freePa inspection good through 8-14Registration good through 9-14Original clutchOriginal shocksOriginal struts Bad SpecificsNormal wear and tearLeather - tiny cut on the driver seat, and some wear on the driver's seat (pictured) and around the gearshift (pictured).Exterior - tiny dent on the bottom left side rocker panel I think and a missing inner fender. Some minor chips and scratches. Check out the pictures. It's not bad. I'm just being thorough. One pictured paint chip about the size of a small piece of gravel (pictured)Gear linkage could use lubrication or something. Sometimes it's hard to shift into first gear.Shocks and struts work fine, but you may want to replace them for a smoother ride.It hasn't been a problem lately, but in the interest of full disclosure sometimes a small lever (I forget what it's called, but I'll show you.) in the engine sticks and prevents the car from starting. If you wiggle the lever the car starts right up. If you keep it oiled you should have no problemHitch is starting to rust (pictured) but can easily be removed.AC lost its charge. We have the part to fix it, but Dad wasn't able to do the work.Headliner is beginning to sag around the console, but not badly. (pictured)Again, I am NOT a mechanic. I tried to represent the car thoroughly, but please come see it to judge for yourself. (Due to weather, I didn't get all the bug specks, etc off the car before taking pictures. As I said, it is still driven. Please keep that in mind when looking at the pictures.) Thanks, and happy bidding!
