Default Wife's New Ride

Picked up this 2003 NBC GLS 5sp for the wife this weekend. We sold her '96 Cabrio 2 years ago and she's been sad ever since.
From what I can tell this car just came off lease and sold at auction to a dealer, so one owner. The car has 71K on it.
Seems to run well, shifts smoothly-clutch feels ok, handles well. I can't wait to put it up on ramps and pull the belly pan
off and have a look underneath. No service documentation-timing belt-so that sucks.

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm certain I'll be using the forum
as a resource base.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Hi to all you newbeetle owners...

I am hoping to find a Antenna flower for my new YELLOW Beetle and am having no luck.
Can someone point me to a good web-site or store for really cool accessories.

Thanks...and looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Welcome! Beautiful picture!

No records stinks especially on the timing belt/water pump at 71,000. The water pump went out on my '98 at 60,000.
