This vehicle was purchased used and from the first week, it had electrical problems. A wire came loose and fried two of the vehicle's computers. Those repairs have to be with a VW dealer as no one else has the computer to reset the codes once they replace the extremely expensive computers. The water pump is plastic and it cracked. To replace the water pump, you also have to replace the timing belt. The cost was in excess of $2000 and the vehicle is worth less than $4000. At no time in the owning of this vehicle was I able to rely on it to get me from point A to point B, no matter how short the distance between A and B. If someone tries to sell you one, RUN, don't walk, RUN AWAY.
How long have you owned this vehicle?: 2 to 3 yrs

After buying my beetle about a year ago i have loved it to death ive had to replace a headlight bulb but i was able to change it myself so no big.

I purchased my beetle new in 99. Things started going wrong immediately. Interior pieces are junk, window regulators fail, Hard to work on, electrical component issues. timing belt broke and destroyed motor @ 42,000 miles (a week after the dealer replaced it!) It does ride well, easy to get in and out off, but overall an overpriced car for the quality, and very expensive to maintain. I have tolerated it for 10 years simply because no one wanyed it on trade except for VW dealers (don't think so).

Benefits of Getting Multiple Price Quotes

Close When you request price quotes from multiple dealers, they're all motivated to offer you a better deal than their competitors. The quotes are free and you'll often have them within hours. You can then compare those prices with each other and with our New Car Blue Book Values, which reflect real-world selling prices. If you get a quote you like, getting the keys to your new car can be as easy as driving to the dealer and signing the papers. If not, you'll be able to negotiate from a more favorable starting point than MSRP. Either way, there's absolutely no obligation on your part.
