Default Should I pull the trigger 07 Triple White NBC

Currently own a 00 Red NB Coupe....but will be headed to warmer weather soon. Found a nice low mileage (23K) 07 NBC Triple White with black top, monsoon sound system, white leather, auto in great condition.....The deal I got is 16999-4000 for my car making it 12999....not a bad deal considering my car is probably worth closer to 3K or less. Convince me to take the plunge....I've attached a pic of the new car below....Thanks for any input....

If you want a vert, the '07 3W is the way to go...imho! Triple Whites are cool; but I'm a bit biased.

Go for it!!! To me that sounds like a great deal, too! It's a beautiful car. We bought an '06 Harvest Moon convertible a few weeks ago. I traded in my Jeep which I got $3,000 for. They were asking $15,500 for the Beetle. So we're in around the same boat you are. We ended up paying around $12,500 or so. Best of luck!!

Thanks for all the replies....I think I know I need to do it....just needed a little push....any ideas for some immediate mods? Thinking wheels and tires? Nothing too crazy or something I can't do myself on the cheap.

You will all be happy to know that I pulled the trigger today. I am now the proud owner of a 2007 Triple White New Beetle Convertible....although the temp was just in the mid 60s drove all the way back home with the top down. Very awesome experience....nothing like it. I'll soon be off to San Antonio from here in Colorado Springs.....definitely up for meeting some other VDUB owners in the Austin/San Antonio area....thanks again for all your feedback....been lurking here for years....
