Hi all,

What are the pros and cons of an early 2000 VW bug with 140K-150K. This is the kind of car that my daughter is looking for, and I'm not all familiar with this machine.

Thanks,

Mike

I almost bet someone would have answered by now: "It has no pedals" :-)

VWs of this vintage are notorious for having electrical problems.
But a particular example might not have them, or they might have been
repaired. (We have two VWs of that age; though neither is a beetle.).
There are also suspension probems (wear items, but expensive if they
haven't been fixed) and ome of the engines available had particular
problems. Also, heater cores in these things suck.
