1998 Black 5 Speed NB - $1000 or B.O.

ERICWC · #1 (**permalink**) 10-21-2008, 07:52 PM

Selling my 1998 Black 2.0 5-Speed. It has 307,000 highway km on it and I have had it since new. It needs $ put in if someone wants to keep driving it - due for a timing belt / water pump, needs a new windshield, rad, A/C condensor, electrical - power windows, locks etc. Runs great, shifts great, I have been driving daily. Some rust starting on it, but salvageable to fix or use for parts. Show me the cash, and you get the bug. Located in Newmarket,ON Canada. Would consider trade for old bug or Type 2 bus.

So it's time to let it go. Good luck! Hope to see you again at GTGs with some other beetle.
Cheers

Yup - I seriously doubt if it will be the last beetle I own

I'll take some pics today. It snowed yesterday so hopefully it melted

OK - pics from July GTG. I'll take more tomorrow morning.

Pics taken this morning:

Not in a position to do it right now, but I wonder what all it takes to import one from Canada into the states?

Bugman · #7 (**permalink**) 10-26-2008, 03:34 AM

howie from up north bought one down here and took it north then sold it to a guy from down here , so he could probably tell you what it takes , but i dont think it was a big hairy thing to do
wish i had some more garage space ,, that little guy needs a new home

Pics of the old bug? - I might want to trade

beej · #11 (**permalink**) 10-28-2008, 01:30 AM

Will get pics in the AM...its a 74 Ravenna green Love Bug (not super beetle) oversprayed with white...

BTW, when you said rust...where?

ERICWC · #12 (**permalink**) 10-28-2008, 02:12 PM

You can see it starting on the hood near the bottom. It is also starting on the right rear rocker. Very little right now - but it is there.

FWIW, isn't the rust warranty 12 years, unlimited miles on that year bug?

noR · #14 (**permalink**) 10-28-2008, 04:01 PM

rust warranty only comes into play if the rust progresses to the point where it actually makes it through the metal. Surface rust is not enough for them to take action.

Good to know...

ERICWC · #16 (**permalink**) 11-02-2008, 03:17 AM

Sold the Bug today

but to a friend so will still see it around

I still may be interested if anyone has an old bug or bus for sale

beej · #17 (**permalink**) 11-02-2008, 03:58 AM

Glad you still get to see it, any idea as to what they plan to do with it?

ERICWC · #18 (**permalink**) 11-02-2008, 02:01 PM

They are going to keep driving it and hopefully fix it up
