 I bought a 1998 Beetle, 5 speed manual transmission from my neighbor.They saw me coming!The car now has 112,000 miles on it and the control module, catalytic converter and ignition module all went out.It is going to cost me more to fix it than its worth.Don't bother with VW.The glove box and trunk release are broken. The clear coat has peeled off.Regretting spending $3K on this car.My Honda has 200,000 miles on it and runs like a top!!
