I just bought one myself 2007. It was in pretty amazing shape. Saw my Mother-in-laws.....loved hers....bought one like it too! LOL. Great fun in the summer months.
One year later, any update on this car? I hear automatic transmissions are so bad, even once rebuilt, AAMCO wont warrant the job. not even 6 months...?
So let’s see, brakes, armrest, and radio? You barely mentioned that rear window, the Beetle’s Achilles heel, or any of the other numerous Beetle gremlins. Geez.
You are right. It wasn't meant to be a hit list of NB issues. I did replace the brakes all the way around. The arm rest is in great shape in this one. The rear window has been siliconed and siliconed some more...
