WTB 2003-2006 NB Yellow turbo

[GoldHawg]

As title says looking for a new beetle, used, prefer less than 30k miles w/turbo and automatic transmission. Must be Yellow (not the mellow yellow, a bright yellow desired) and want a moonroof. Would consider non-turbo if 2.5L. I am in Albuquerque but willing to drive a few hundred miles, let me know if you're within 1000 miles and depending on other variables I may be interested. Plz send details and price to jjhaymond@gmail.com.

If you want a 1.8T, you want up to 2005. In 2006, the body changes went into production, and fewer options were available.

Good luck to you!

Here is my opinion. You might like a 2002, as opposed to a 2003.
Because then you can get the Double Yellow Color Concept (which is what I drive, see my gallery link below). Fully loaded with all options, yellow wheel inserts, black & yellow leather seats, yellow door inserts, they are beautiful.

And they are all over the place.

$11,500 with 35K miles..

Evanrude:

thx for taking the time to look at all the listings. The only one close is/was from Lubbock TX, but I found out last week it was sold. They just haven't pulled the ad.

There were a couple of nice ones that I really liked in your list, one in WA and one in FL, but I'm really hoping for something that I can get w/o having to spend a thousand dollars more to get it shipped.

Thx again. Maybe there is a board member that needs to get a new buggie and wants a good home for the slightly used one? Hopefully w/in 500 miles or so...

BTW, more that I look at them, I really like the 2005 wheels. That might be the sweet spot of price/mileage etc.

This car is for my 17 year old daughter who will take it to college next year. I have a bit of time, but would like w/in the next month or so. She's only now getting around to learning to drive, and I'd like her to have it soon to get really comfortable driving it w/us, then she can take off and leave me....

Don't get too hung up on wheels. They are easily swapped, unlike the engine or the upholstery.
You might even be able to trade someone on here for wheels you like better.
