      Pretty cool that you love Beetles! Especially this body style because not many do. I’ve owned 4 beetles and one of them was a 2002 Turbo S. I loved it, and still kick myself for giving it up esp. with the modifications done to it. It was silver too. If you ever want to sell...haha!! I am in Wichita though. ☺️

Still have the car with under 40k and is still like brand new inside and out. All the interior plastic still held up nicely and absolutely nothing is broken. This is the nicest and fastest beetle ever produced next to the color concept Beetle's from 2002-2003. Also have a 2000 Beetle TDI with almost 235k and is another fun little car. These are great little cars that also don't get much credit and are easily overlooked. I'm glad this car ended up in the right hands.

      I'd be willing to bet the original owner of the car sold it long before the plugs were due to be changed. Probably traded it in to a non-VW dealership who detailed it, rotated the tires for the second time, and sold it as a "one owner, always garaged, driven to church on Sundays" special at twice what they gave in trade in value. That owner drove it until all the service was due, then dumped it at Carmax (see the sticker on the rear windshield). They re-sold it without doing anything other than a tire and (alleged) oil change to the owner who drove it into the ground.

    The turbo s was my first car. Ive kept up with a bunch of sports cars in it. The steering and handling is super solid and there's very minimal body roll. And the 6 speed felt so good compared to my forester, almost gated like it guided you into gear and clicked. I took it on a rally that started at a stock car track. We just did timed laps with a figure 8 in the middle. I ended up smoking most of the newer cameros etc. When I told my dad that I was swapping it out for something more practical with awd for Colorado stuff (my current forester), he bought the car off me because he loves it so much. Sadly, its been sitting in his garage and now its super dusty and dirty inside.

    I actually owned a 2003 Turbo S. I bought it in 2004. I originally bought it because my commute to work increased to 130 miles/day . The car had a great stereo to make the time during the commute fly by. My car had a Monsoon Stereo. That car was fast, I actually had the speedometer pegged. At launch that car had massive torque steer. The car got me a few speeding tickets, so in 2006 I traded it in for a Honda Element. I kept that car until I had to adjust the solid lifters every 30k miles.
    Four years ago my commute to work got short and sweet.. Only 36 miles round trip, so I bought a Jeep Wrangler. That's got to my favorite vehicle so far.

    Car and Driver: "Another element common to these three models is a deployable spoiler, which resides just above the rear window. When the New Beetle made its debut, this device was programmed to pop up at 93 mph. This seemed a bit extreme to VW's U.S. marketing people, who finally got their colleagues in Germany to reduce deployment speed to make the spoiler visible in everyday traffic. But the compromise--40-mph deployment, 10-mph retraction--creates a problem. Deployments and retractions are audible, sounding like pieces falling off the car, and in urban traffic they're also frequent."
