Question car manual

Hi, I just bought an '03 NBC and I need a manual. I called the phone number that VW gave me but they want $30.00 for it. Does anyone know where I maybe could get one cheaper? [PHP][/PHP]

Ive seen them on Ebay for a little under twenty dollars... so its up to you, it might just be easiest to just order it.

But I have seen them on Ebay.

Thank you, I'll look to see if I can find one, I would just like to read up on my new car and find all the hidden things it can do.

Browse through the posts here. It's not a substitute for an owner's manual... but it might beat spending $100 (particularly so close after tax day)!

There was even one on the old forums, I think, called something like "New Beetle Secrets" that listed all the things even people with owner's manuals didn't know they could do with their car

$30 doesn't sound like a bad deal, really. It's pretty thick... and bound in a nice binder.

oh I have, and I have learned alot already, but I guess I would call myself a nerd I like to read owners manuals to each car I have ever had and since I bought my baby "gently used" it didn't come with one.

The *secret* button to my GLX's airfoil was totally worth the $30.. and I do mean secret, as in under the dash, where I'd never have run across it.
