I'm so glad that you folks are here!
Two years ago, I bought a used 1998 New Beetle. It has since had a very unusual failure, which would have been prohibitively expensive to fix.
I am very lucky - I have found the photo negative of mine (mine was black) in a white Beetle that I'll be picking up Sunday - the day of my 30th birthday.
I'll be posting this in the appropriate forum as well, and feel free to gripe at me if this isn't the right place for it...but I'll be selling the old car as a whole for parts. There'll be more details in the sale post I'll be making, but she's a black 1998 Beetle. She runs and drives, but is now unsafe because the part of the body that the strut tower mounts to has snapped. It's a break that five different mechanics have never seen on a Beetle. I'll be scrapping her within the week, but I wanted to give anyone interested a shot at her first, as I'd rather some of her parts would get to live on. She'll be sorely missed, and I can't even begin to tell all of you how thrilled I am to have found another.
