Up for your consideration I have my low mileage 1998 Beetle. It is equipped with 2.0L AEG engine, 5-speed, black with black cloth interior. It has 58.8xx original miles and is mechanically very sound. I was looking quite long to find this exact combination (black, manual tranny, NA engine, low miles), but have to sell now due to changing family circumstances and new job. The car runs great. Has no issues and has no codes. I bought it from retired couple in Florida and it is totally rust-free! Suspension components such as ball joints, shocks, wheel bearings are excellent. There are no deteriorated rubber bushings that need to be replaced. Shifts great and great on gas (I fill only with premium and both my mk4s prefer premium). The engine runs like clockwork, the clutch grabs as new. Has brand new dealer-installed battery. Front tires are OK, rear ones would need to be replaced soon. The car was never in accident and no body work/paint job was done on it. Things that are not good are mostly cosmetical and these are common in NB. These is sagging headliner, tear in driver seat back, fading clearcoat on roof top (has no moonroof). Right window will get stuck halfway and will close with hand assist. The hatch door needs to be slammed to close fully (probably latch needs adjustment). Deteriorating small plastic parts, which are of poor quality in all 4th generation MK I've seen. Basically, this is a car with excellent engine/tranny/drivetrain, body, suspension, but aging interior. All these are simple fixes for someone who has time on hand. The car is located in Ventnor City, NJ, and can be driven anywhere in the country. Clear PA title on hand. If you wonder why it has PA license plate, this is because I just moved here from Pittsburgh. I try to give as complete description as possible, but chances are are missed something. So please ask question and they will be promptly answered. Please make sure you have funds available b efore placing a bid. The car is sold as is, where is. No warranty if offered, expressed or implied. All sales are final. Good luck!
