So I was in this car accident, rather than accept a pitiful settlement, for my VW Golf, from ICBC because the damage too it ended up being to expense to fix. We were able to collect on the awesome insurance we bought. It's called replacement insurance, costs only $70, we got enough money, plus tax to buy one of those really cool, green, clean diesel 2009 Volkswagon Jettas.
We dreamed about it for a while. But reality, that annoying buzz in my ear, took control, told me no more car payments and to pick something on the Hub City Motors lot. We test drove an old Jetta and a beetle.
We decided to go wth the 2003 beetle because of it's coolness factor, It is in excellent shape, better than the Jetta for the same price, and the sales guys knew the car, they said the previous owner had kept up it's regular maintenance schedule. It has all the options our Golf had and more.
The Beetle with be our 7th in a long line of VW vehicles we have owned.

Our kids LOVE the new Beetles (or "Punchbuggies" as they call them). If you ever bring yours down to Vancouver and feel inclined to give them a ride, they'll think you're the greatest. :)
Oh, I love the car Melanie. It's on the list of cars that I'd love to have. :)
Hey, I saw you driving your beetle, you were passing me down 17th Avenue. Did you transfer those roof racks from your other car?
We had to buy new racks, the ones from the golf don't fit. Wanna buy em?
Too cute! I love VW's too. I'm on my 3rd or 4th Jetta. They do have their issues tho' - I just got to my bf's house, hit the button to roll up the window, and the FREAKING window fell in the door. AGAIN. 2nd Jetta this has happened to. Luckily a good friend is a VW mechanic.
KIm- Weird, I've never had any problems like that.
