| | | That seems weird, the mark up on a Z would be a few hundred more percent than a Sentra or Clio. Maybe a new model is coming up, 380Z? If you wait a year or two, might get a great deal on a 350 or 370... Or look now for a 350, unless the 370 has big improvements? I don't know these models. Side note: Seems odd how few 2012 Beetles are on the road around here. I've seen maybe 3 since they came out. Somethings not working. Looked in the showroom, but didn't drive. Kind of big, kind of okay, but I didn't see the point. (Probably a good car in many ways though). The back slope seems more humpy '40 Ford than VW. Maybe the retro beetle thing has runs it's course. I don't mind the New Beetle, but the huge dash never felt right. Massive loss of interior space, just to have a short hood. And so different than the original Beetle, which literally had a 2 inch dash thickness, if that. Still I'd buy one in minute if cheap, manual, prefer TDI. There's a sport model which will likely be worth a lot down the road. Would avoid '98 the first year. The New Beetle probably has an inflated value, unlike the more practical Golf. Although we know Bandi has connections to get them at probably 60% off wholesale...

| | | Old school salesmen were hilarious, too bad so many fell for their routine though. Some still play the game. You could clearly state I want... with a standard transmission. Then he starts to work on why I want a manual. Then tries to sell something completely different. I know they need to sell, but it's the trained manipulation, and game they make of it that gets me. After a while it actually becomes amusing. Some realtors are even worse, higher stakes. New Beetle, chick car or not, as is my Appliance convertible, if reliable, could be a decent second car. It's been said before, but if VW only did a retro bus, they would really sell. The California prototype would have done the trick.
