What a beauty! Congrats on your purchase. Had you pre-ordered your Beetle or did the dealership have just what you were looking for?
I swear my local VW dealer doesn't have 1 Beetle on their lot....unless they are all in the showroom. Every time I drive by I rubberneck to see if there are any there and there's never a one that I can see. Maybe they are selling them as fast as they get them in.
Thank you very much! I did not pre-order it. I was looking to trade in my truck back in september bc of it being a gas guzzling V8. When I drove by the VW dealership they had this one parked outside. It was the only one they had ordered for the time being. It was exactly what i was looking for. I wanted it in white, and it HAD to be turbo . Now all the VW dealerships around here have them on their lots. With a variety of colors and trim levels to choose from. I love my Beetle EXACTLY the way it is though :banana:
My local VW dealership has crap on its lot. About 20 new cars/suv and 100 preowned other brands. 1 Beetle 2 Jettas and the rest are fully loaded C's. I will have to order the bug I want.
Caveman - the gentleman from whom I bought my NB lives in Alabama (Huntsville) and he, too, had to order his 2012. A lot of that, though, was because he knew SPECIFICALLY what he wanted and absolutely would not budge (which I understand, he's buying a new car and he knows what he wants).
I know for a fact my VW dealership has some used NB's on their lot.
Ironically, y'day I was driving home from Atlanta GA and there's a VW facility in the Chattanooga area. I passed a truck hauling new VW's....not one of them was a Beetle.
That's awesome! It was obviously meant to be because the timing couldn't have been more perfect for you.
Did you find the transition from your truck to your Beetle hard, in terms of sitting lower. My hubby has a hard time getting used to being so close on the ground when he drives my NB (he drives a Hummer H2 SUT daily). Talk about a gas guzzler....goodness his truck is out of control. HAHA!
Next time I go by my VW dealership, if I have time I'm going to swing in there and see what they've got. I'm sure the salesmen will be on me like vultures but I can set them straight.
Have you see our TOD thread here on the org? We'd love to have you if you can make it. I think there are several 2012's coming this year, which is awesome.
No, the transition wasn't too bad to be honest. I was used to my Beetle within a day or two. The turbo is just too much fun... oh, yes hummers are big gas guzzlers, whew. lol.... I'm new on here so I haven't seen that thread. What is it?
Thanks everyone. I just ordered custome plates. When they eventually come in, I'll be sure to post them! I will post some interior pictures as well. It's stock though, for now..
