Kids and their first cars: Part Two and the "New" VW Beetle
I posted a while back on kids and their first cars and received some well reasoned replies. In a nutshell I'm looking at a pair of cars for my soon to be 16 y.o. twin stepdaughters. We're basically looking at a $6-7K max budget per car.
I'm fortunate enough to have a client that has access to wholesale auctions and I've been seeing some 98---2000 VW Beetles coming across the block in the 5500-6000 range. Most with automatics and the 4 banger and mileage between 50-90K. Obviously a timing belt would be in the works at that mileage.
Anybody have any experience with these cars as far as safety/reliability, etc?
Any other suggestions?
