Sold MoTd/usable yellow 2002 New Beetle 1.6 with sunroof, £350

[BorniteIdentity]

Blimey. Ken really wants to win it.

 

So that's 35 sold and only 24 remai......

 

Oh

[Jim Bell]

Is this £350 yet?

[purplebargeken]

Yeah, oh indeed. Would buy 21 tickets if I had the money

[Bear]

Is this £350 yet?

 

 

No, but I'd probably be tempted by £550 if the extent of me "not having to do anything with it" includes you disconnecting the battery from the charger, putting it back in the car, and driving away...

[maxpower]

these beetles always looked to me like someone got a ford KA and stuck a airhose into the fuel tank and blew very hard

[flat4alfa]

Random over here please thanks

[crapcarcollector]

Free bump for the raffle beetle !!!

Why raffle so slow? This is an ace yellow modern Beetle. Ah, just answered own question.

[Bear]

Yeah, raffle is painfully slow. I think it'll just have to be eBay or something, the tickets are probably too expensive

I think you'd have more luck on ebay either an auction or best offer?

[Bear]

Probably. I'd have to fix the passenger window though or deal with eBay idiots. TBH I'm at the stage of setting fire to everything except the Jaguar and SLK and running away laughing.

[stripped fred]

I've sold a few cars on eBay and never had a problem to be honest. You can minimise the idiot count with best offer too. Fix the window if you have time but I'm sure it wouldn't be a deal breaker for most people.

Photos or it didn't happen

[Bear]

It hasn't happened yet, but that's probably because I'm in work and took the Jaguar in so got calmed down

[eddyramrod]

Mine too, but at least you've sold some!

[Bear]

True! It's the usual thing though - when you don't want to sell it, everyone wants it, when you do, no-one does

 

I'm still open to swaps, too, just not anything that's going to add to the stress.

[Jim Bell]

Is the passenger glass in the door or taped/wedged up?

[Bear]

Wedged up, still slides fine, going to take the trim off this weekend and undoubtedly find the usual broken clip nonsense. The regulator is a bit noisy but I'm not sure if that's just because things aren't in place so it all gets to move around more than it should. I just held it in place with a folded up magic tree and radio removal key, and it's been parked in the garage ever since so hasn't had a chance to get drenched.

[Bear]

Right, I have too many things to deal with - £600 as it stands, will take something in PX if necessary as long as it's MoTd and stands a chance of me getting rid of it when I've sorted out the proper daily car

 

Lack of raffle enthusiasm means I don't see the point, but if people still want to fill the numbers - tenner  a ticket now.

[Fat_Pirate]

In that case, I'll take 2 random tickets.

[Bear]

In addition to the one you have?

[Bear]

Right. Had enough of this bloody thing, and I will never buy another VAG group car.

 

Started working on the window, clips broken, door trim cracked - I know a previous owner has had all the mechanical sympathy of a gorilla, but this is just frustrating. Then there's the way VW make those door mechanisms. I am not up to that fight, I just want this thing out of my sight.

 

Nothing's changed except the door trims are removed and I've found that the fault with the passenger window is probably explained by a load of regulator cable that is escaping from the hole where the motor goes in. Swap the mechanisms and you're probably sorted.

 

£400. Bargain MoTd Beetle if you're used to modern VAG stuff. I just don't have the time to get this involved in a car I'm selling for not much money.

[Bear]

It comes with the door trims in the boot, btw, I'm not putting it back together - and the passenger window is currently inside the door, but we can try and sort that.

[BorniteIdentity]

Is this £350 yet?

I'll take £350 if the fucking thing is No Longer My Problem this afternoon.

[Bear]

Like, PayPal, an address for the change of owner, and a plan for someone to DRIVE IT AWAY FOR THE LOVE OF COD.

FWIW, it starts, stops, goes around corners just fine. It's just all the trim and things like windows falling in then being a miserable PITA of a job when I have so many other demands on my time.
