Default Converting My Mom

So we were talking about trading in my mom's car this weekend and I halfway jokingly said "why don't you get a beetle?" She said she loved the idea because she doesn't need the SUV she has now (2006 Hyundai Tuscon). So we are in the market for a NB!!

Here I am with looking for your opinions. New models or older models, I have the '02. We are less hung up on color. If it is a manual I will give her my car and take the new one. Trying to shoot for less 80K, but less than 100K will be okay. NBC is a maybe. We are in the central Florida area.

Let's see what you've got

I'd find a TDI. You won't regret it with the flat geography of Florida, 43+mpg all day long. 04+ models have more get up and go, but 98-03's are the cheaper to operate.

If you ask me

Whats the deal here? Dark flint only came in NBC, right?! Am I nuts?

What do you think of this one. Smelled like someone pooped in it... The red is vinyl too.

I smell a rat.
