Looking for an old Volkswagen 1965 perhaps.

I'm sure nobody can find what I want but I'd love to work with you for a deal. Please call. Excellent customer service.

Haven't had any problems with this car.

Sporty little car with very different style from others which set apart. Plus its a fun modern blast from the past.

Great no so little new nostalgia

Love the vehicle, Scoot around town, enjoy the efficiency and ease of driving. Easy to get attached to the car. We needed a SUV, and sorry to let it go. Come and test drive, you will be persuaded too.

Fun and reliable car

This is a great car for someone that likes a little performance and good mpg. It needs to be driven and at this time its just taking up garage space as we drive our other VW all of the time.

Decent

Its decent on gas and gets you where your going. Its a little small and not good for taller people but it gets the job done.

Unique and Reliable!

I have had my Beetle Turbo for 4 years and I cannot say enough good things about it! It is unique looking and you don't see many of them on the road, inspiring performance that doesn't break the bank, good gas milage, a sporty ride that doesn't rattle you around when driving on busted roads, and it has been fabulously reliable. I have not had any major issues other then normal wear-and-tear and regular maintenance. It's also easy to work on as it's based on the GTI. I'm at 78k miles and think this car will easily crest 150k miles with no problem. Do yourself a favor and consider the VW Beetle Turbo!

economical and fun to drive

this car makes me happy to drive. I just feel like waving and smiling at all the drivers but I don't dare because they would probably think I have road rage...lol.
