I bought this '98 beetle to drive back and forth to work and save on fuel. The car has never gotten less than 40 mpg in the city or on the highway(usually average 44). I have had great luck out of the car until it started acting up. It dies at random times. Sometimes it will die seconds after you crank it, sometimes it will die after 30 miles or so, and sometimes it will run for a day or two before it acts up. I changed the fuel filter, but it didn't help. From everything i've read, i believe it is the quantity adjuster on the fuel pump that is acting up. The people that have had this same issue said they have taken the fuel pump apart and cleaned the quantity adjuster and it works fine; and some people eneded up needing a fuel pump. At worst the car needs a fuel pump. It is located in Garrison Texas, and you are more than welcome to come check the car out in person before you bid. It is a very solid car with a 5 speed and the tdi diesel. Other than the fuel problem its having now, it has been a great little car and i think is a steal if it sells near the starting price. This is a NO RESERVE auction so good luck and serious buyers can call or text me with any questions. I will do anything i can to help with the pick up of the car if you send a shipping truck. $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction end and the balance within 7 days Thanks, John (936)554-6218
