Should be easy to find a loaded model in good shape for $8K or less.
May be a reason or may be the Beetle fad has petered out.

How reliable are the new beetles? last thing I want is her to be spending money on it.
I drove one a few years back... it was OK but not my cup O tea... ladies seem to dig the body-style.

So how reliable was the beetle up to the accident? I would not bother getting her the turbo though.
