Paint is faded after 7 years.

Must be made in Mexico, no way a German paint job would fade that soon.

Actually, as you may or may not know, the old style beetle still being manufactured in Mexico has finally come to an end of production. This happened earlier this month. So 2003 is the last year of the "old style" beetle. So go on down to mexico and go to a VW dealer and buy one while you still can.

"The last original Beetle, marked Number 21,529,464, was a light blue special edition that will be sent to the VW museum in Wolfsburg".

Goodbye Herbie, you did us proud.

plus, he used the exact same picture to sell a 944 in june

that seems kinda fishy . . . .though the person who won that auction did give him positive feedback . . . .
i love how he had to post a correction saying that the car for sale wasn't actually a turbo . . . .

He made the mistake twice, though! It's in the header, but then again in the description.


Fishy.
