What was the first year of the New Beetle?
At first the beetle looks girly and cheap. girly to some, but cheap only in cosmetics. for the 13 years of it’s life it has been ragged out by a teenage girl and my father. Both have been over revved before they change gears. my father changes gears at 9000 or 90000 revolutions (can’t remember) and it sends chills up my spine when he goes up hills.
When did the VW New Beetle come out?
Well, it’s been 14 years. Bought it new in June of ’99 because it was the “futuristic looking concept car that you could drive”. The silver beetle really took the cake, spurred on with the commercial “Reverse engineered from U.F.O.’s.” Now 14 years later, it runs and looks like the day I bought it. I wanted all manual – so I got the GL.
Is there a used VW New Beetle for sale?
None for sale nearby. Instead: I purchased mine back in 03′ from a dealership with 35k miles. I just crossed the 110k mark. So far I’ve had nothing I’d consider a “major” problem. At 90k miles the water pump went out. I also replaced the tensioner and belt. Yesterday it started misfiring bad and learned the coil pack had gone bad.
