You can be cool like Dan with a Turbo VW convertible without the huge garage and all the time invested 😛

Make : VW  
Model: Beetle Convertible Turbo  
Miles: 149K  
Options: ALL (heated seats, Monsoon Radio, CD changer, Bluetooth radio, cruise Ect)  
Transmission: Manual, Stick, 5 speed  
Price: 4700… NYspeed 4500

Recent work: Clutch (stage 2, Single mass flywheel), Hard coolant line, coil packs, brakes.  
Timing belt was done around 100K

Currently sitting on 18" wheels, have the stock 16" wheels with snows.  
doesn’t need anything drives great. has some minor rust and dents what you would expect for a 12 year old car. and the airbag light is on. doesn’t effect the car so I haven’t looked into it, small tear on passenger seat at seam.

ONLY trade i would consider is a Jetta sportwagon with the Pano roof.

Thanks Jam, Im out of work till the 14th per the doctors though 😕 its killing me to sit around.  
this car was VWOP maintained till i bought it around 140K he had gotten a 2k qoute for the clutch and decided to dump it.  
I picked it up put a clutch in it and its been a great car.
