Seeking red, silver, or white GLS 5 spd 1. We are located in a "low volume" VW area and the dealers nearby just don't get many NBs. Will consider flying if right car and at MSRP. Simply won't pay over MSRP and willing to wait. I am currently in the throes of decision-making regarding the purchase or lease of my next vehicle.
I test drove it and thought it handled well. Of course, I was charmed by its styling -- there's no other late-model car on the road today that even comes close to the personality offered by the NB. I am concerned, however, that this car may turn out to be all style and no substance.
Is this an unwarranted fear? I'd love to hear from any NB owners out there and what, if any, problems they've had with their NBs. Save me from buying a Civic!!! VW really is a better car than a decade ago, I don't think the same issues about quality apply. If you are really concerned consider the extended warranty, you already have 2 year complete and 10 year powertrain.
It is soo relative and in many ways msrp is arbitrary, it's all part of the game, I know. Don't let the feeling that you HAVE to get less than msrp, because that is the norm, prevent you from buying what you want. I should have added DONT pay over msrp, that is part of the game that i believe in not acceptable. We drove and loved the New Beetle NB. The Honda has a good reliability record, but has zero personality. The 1 reason we are pusuing a NB is resisdual value. NO car matches the NB for resale value.
No automatic transmission available. That's very disappointing to me, considering how much automatic helps resale value. Of course, we are also talking about a diesel, and that can hurt the resale value, as well. Unfortunately, there is a certain stigma attached to diesel cars, that they are noisy, polluting, gas-guzzlers.
This is not the case with modern diesel engines except the noisy part, perhaps , but many people remain ignorant. I had been considering a TDI when gas prices skyrocketed here on the west coast, but changed my mind when I found out that automatic transmission was unavailable.
They are in extrmely short supply, availble in CA but I am just wondering if anyone has one. I too have read an Auto is due out in July, Edmund's even lists the new car prices for one.
Yet the local dealers, and there are plenty here where I live in Northern Virginia, 5 miles outside of Wash. If anyone wants a Beetle these Dealers have plenty in stock here. Most sell at MSRP. I am about to go for a 5 speed, I bet it's actually more fun to drive. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the year Bug because I plan on buying one.
I want the horse power turbo charged and was wondering what owners felt about their 's with that engine? Also wondering if dealers "deal" much because it appears their isn't much markup. I have seen invoice, and there is very litle mark-up. Yes, the spoiler does re-set at 10mph.
So, when you hear your door locks activate, you can manually raise your spoiler. Mine is a 99 non-turbo gas. Airbag light came on. Also, punctured a tire took about 15 minutes to change. I have Michelin tires and a Goodyear warranty go figure. And someone backed out of a parking space and grazed my paint job.
I know they exist because I saw one sitting on a dealers lot here in town. It was there for about a day before it was bought.
Nice to know they have finally released them! We appreciate your interest in the TDI engine and your comments have been noted. At this time, the TDI engine is not available with an optional automatic transmission. We are tentatively planning to see this option arrive within the model year, although no production, or arrival dates have been released. It only has 90 hp. That's not enough when I have to drive over the mountains from Vegas to California.
My Tercel struggles actually seeing the speed drop, despite having the pedal to the floor , and it has just as many or as few horses. I'm looking at a GLX now. Check out Hatchback topic about the TDI engine. It will make you feel better about the hill climbing ability of the TDI engine. This car is a great hill climber because of the great torque. Better than the gas engine. Horsepower isn't everything. I feel for you, my rear wheel well got rubbed, it sort of sticks out, etc. I bought some touch up paint and that helped from VW.
Interestingly just the paint rubbed off, none of the rubber or whatever the compound is so not a big deal. So maybe try some touch up paint. I am looking to lease a VW Beetle and am wondering if there is a certain time of the year that is more optimal. Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you know. Thank you! To all of you fence sitting Beetle mania types I say go for it. I've had no problems with mine other than a broken floor mat clip in 7k miles.
After the newness wears off you will still enjoy it. It is very well designed with a lot nice thoughtful features. I like the dash layout and the well placed controls, all the cubbies and storage, the night lighting is still awesome, the room, the cool switch blade key fob,it's fantastic safety rating, the folding rear seat that turns it into a station wagon and it's best feature is it's always glad to see you, what other car has a smile like the front of a New Beetle?
