 All my daughter wanted after she turned 16 was a VW Bug.  We found one in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we are originally from and my husband drove it back to Texas.  The night he arrived the clutch went out. ($2000) Repairs were delayed due to the engine hood latch broke and couldn't open it.  It is now in the repair shop again with a busted oil pan which we are finding is very hard to find without the sensor hole in it.  These are the major expenses that have incurred in the very short time of ownership.  The little expenses are endless.  I am so disappointed in VW I thought they were better car manufactures than this.
