FS: '99 New Beetle - Bright Green (PA.)

For sale: '99 Beetle GLS, bright green with beige leatherette interior, 5 speed, cruise control, power windows, custom wheels.

We have owned the car since new and it has been meticulously maintained. My wife drives it almost 2 hours round-trip to work and back, so it was important that it be reliable. Therefore, any and all mechanical work that it ever needed was immediately done by a VW specialist, along with scheduled maintenance. Nothing was ever let go mechanically. That said, it has been an extremely reliable car, and has needed very little besides maintenance. We had the water pump replaced preventatively when the recommended timing belt replacement interval came up. We also had the CV's serviced, and replaced the battery cat converter, muffler, tires, and a motor mount. That's all it's ever needed. The car has always started right up and has been a great car for us. The only reason we're selling it is that I just bought here a new Passat for her birthday.

Everything works like new. The only cosmetic flaws are a very small ding on one door (from another door hitting it in a parking lot), a small windshield stone chip, and a few small scrapes at curb level from parallel parking. Also there is an abrasion one front seat bottom, but I will include a brand new replacement seat bottom obtained from the VW dealer. Not long ago we put brand new $900 custom wheels on the car. The original steel wheels are also included. The car has 93k miles (all highway mileage due to my wife's long commute to work along rural highways). There is still 7k left on the drivetrain warranty (although I don't know if it's transferrable).

Retail Blue Book Value (adjusted for condition and mileage) is $10,280 according to the Kelley Blue Book, and $10,021 according to Edmunds. We need a quick sale to pay down our new Passat, and are asking below the book value - $9500. You will not find another Beetle that has been as well maintained as this one.

Power train warranty on second owner is only 5years/50,000 miles so there is NO warranty!
