I just bought one myself 2007. It was in pretty amazing shape. Saw my Mother-in-laws.....loved hers....bought one like it too! LOL. Great fun in the summer months.
One year later, any update on this car? I hear automatic transmissions are so bad, even once rebuilt, AAMCO wont warrant the job. not even 6 months...?
So let’s see, brakes, armrest, and radio? You barely mentioned that rear window, the Beetle’s Achilles heel, or any of the other numerous Beetle gremlins. Geez.
You are right. It wasn't meant to be a hit list of NB issues. I did replace the brakes all the way around. The arm rest is in great shape in this one. The rear window has been siliconed and siliconed some more...

I'm looking at a 2007 VW convertible today, so this was extremely helpful. Thank you!!
Thank you for this video! Does it have a place for aux? Also could you show the backseat :) thank you!

So far it has been doing well. A cable in the top gave up the ghost but that is about it.
Are this models affected by the vw timing chain failure ????
I don't believe so.
Can those go well over 250,000 miles?
I would say that at that mileage it would be in need of a rebuild.
how is the fuel concumption?
I think it is about 25 mpg. Not as good as you would expect from a small car.
Is $6800 good price for 2007 2.5L 5cylinder convertible with 115,000mi. at my dealership
It depends on condition and maintenance records. Nice condition and well maintained. Yes. All scuffed and neglected. No.
I’m going to buy a 2006 convertible today! Looks just like this one for my sister! And it was $6600 with 103k miles!
I'm curious how much you paid for the car.
I think we paid $6000 for it.
Might have taken us for a ride before putting it by your shop! No fun.
I will do a ride next week. They are having issues with the battery
