Volkswagen Beetle Usados en Venta en Naples, FL

The story begins when my father passed away and I inherited his Saturn sedan. This was during the great parts recall; Saturn was so back logged and I was so uncomfortable driving the car that I opted to trade it for something else. I got a cream colored VW Beetle. She was cute, personable, and spacious, especially for a small car. The car did great for a while. Then the repairs started. It seems that the entire car is plastic. It is made fairly well but when something goes out a part cannot be replaced -- the entire unit must be replaced. I found myself spending about $500 - $1000 per repair (including the boot covers and axles). Not all mechanics work with the VWs either, since they require special diagnostics equipment. Going beyond that, the next issue that I have is with the passenger headlight. It keeps going out. It seems that VW makes a poor wiring system and that it's common enough for these headlights to go out. My mechanic(s) -- three of them now -- have managed to cobble things together but after the 6th time that the headlight has gone out I find myself most likely looking at replacing the part. I quiver at the expense. I have also been told my brakes are near the time to be replaced -- another $900 bill coming up. I know, it's wear and tear. It seems that most of the plastic parts fall apart or break. I have had to replace several interior parts that have broke (and they are not treated roughly). Currently, the arm rest is stuck in the up position. Nothing I do seems to bring it down. So.....yes, there is convenience in having to only change the oil once a year (that's what the dealer said). She's cute. She's comfortable. I can transport a passenger comfortably. I can fit a heck of a lot in the trunk/back seat area.....but it's a constant struggle to justify keeping the car against the expense of maintaining the car. I have an even older Mazda Miata (1996) who is not only better built, but also easier to maintain. Repairs on her are also considerably less.

I purchased my VW Beetle Turbo used with two previous owners, per the carfax report they both had kept up with the car's maintenance. For being a 9 year old car the interior and exterior are still in excellent shape with minimal weathering on the paint job. The exterior still looks great with all areas remaining intact and safe. The interior of the car is in almost mint condition with minimal wear. I love the large dashboard and extra large windshield which makes me feel safer when I drive as I have more visibility than in other vehicles I've driven in the past. The dash is nice with adequate storage area in the center console and a locking glove compartment - I know my personal items will be safe. The trunk is also relatively spacious considering the size of the vehicle as a whole. The dashboard lighting is very nice at night. I also love the sunroof feature. The VW Beetle is also equipped with A LOT of safety features and has lighted indicators that come on when just about anything is wrong with the vehicle. Also, because the car is a turbo diesel the gas mileage is wonderful at about 35 miles per gallon in the city.
