Default Major problems

When me Beetle works it is awesome. Unfortunately that does not happen to often. 2000 GLX I bought 18 months ago. First year no problems. SInce then I have had to replace the radiator, catalytic converter(Cali emmisions), MAF, coolant sensor and now cracked vacuum lines, leaky fuel injectors, bad back brake booster,,,,,,list could go on. This car has driven me to the poor house. I still owe 5k and need to but another car. A VERY frustrating experience.

Why did you have to replace the radiator and brake booster? All of the other things are fairly common. And what do you mean by "back" brake booster? There's only one.
