how much do Voltz Wagon bugs cost?

Question 1
how much do Voltz Wagon bugs cost?...  ok so im 13 right now but i wanna start saving up for a car now, so i can get a car when im 16. And i really wanna wanna get a voltz wagon bug with a convertable top, but idk how much those cost? or how much would a used( in good condition) one cost?
and i also heard that they are gonna stop making them or something? and they're only making like 300 more and they're all light blue...is this true?

Answers
1)   they cost a lot more than a VOLKSWAGEN - PaulD

2)   The cheapest ‘used’ Volkswagen New Beetle you’ll find on a car lot is most likely going to fall into the range of $5,000 to probably $10,000. That’s for a hardtop, though, a convertible is going to be quite a bit more expensive. I found my Beetle, used, on www.autotrader.com for $5,400. If you’re looking for a band new Beetle, there going to run around $18,500, and $26,000 for a convertible. I’d definitely go for a used one!

As for them not making the Beetle anymore, and making them blue or what ever.. My friend told me about that. Must have seen it on the news or something. I thought they where just bullshitting, but I imagine not, I don't know. I know there going to be coming out with what there calling the VW New Beetle "2". - Renae

3)   Volkswagen. - Test For Echo

4)   dood, i would weight until ur 17, cuz then i heard voltzwagon is coming out with an even better car. and its available in dark blue! - edizzle

5)   I don't think saving for a car is your biggest problem. First, you should learn how to communicate via the written word. It's "Volkswagen" and the correct spelling is "convertible." "Gonna" is not even a word. What an abomination. - Arthur O

Answers
1)   not bad. - Jimbo

2)   seems OK but it doesn't list the mileage? It depends on how many there are.

Get it checked by a mechanic first, make sure the transmission is good.

If you want that car to be good in the snow, you should consider winter (not all season) tires for the winter season, they make a huge difference. - PMack

3)   There is no millage listed so I'm guessing its pretty high so I don't know how much longer it will last. Its an automatic transmission which are known for being expensive to repair. It looks to be in decent shape. Id say its a good car for a 16 year old to drive. Its a v6 so its not to easy to get yourself into trouble with. But it is a mustang and everybody has them so it really wont stand out that well but oh well as long as your happy with it :p just find out about the millage. - Test For Echo

4)   itd be a terrible car to drive in the snow. its rear wheel drive.

but, it is a V6 mustang. and youre a 16 year old girl. so i would say get it. - edizzle

Question 3
'00 Jetta trouble cold start, and rev issue.?...  i just bought a '00 Jetta, 169k on it. its takes a couple try's in the morning when its cold to start it, also while driving it, twice it has rev'd by itself from about 2000-3000 rpm until i shut it off, then it wont start for a few minutes. any ideas?

Answers
1)   that could be just wrong oil. Or you may have some problems with starter? - vrico

2)   OMG! I luv this shit! - Louis

3)   Vacuum leaks, Mass Air Flow sensor, these are just two off the top of my head. - djaca70

4)   Do yourself a favor, Get a tune up, cap, rotor, wires and new plugs, check the timing, and replace the CTS sensor, test the o2 sensor

Vacuum leaks and the like usually cause dubs to run rugged......
As you are having issues on a restart, I would say either your o2 or CTS sensor are flaky bad. - Briano

Question 4
can the mileometer (electronic) on a car revert to zero if the battery has been dissconnected for some time?...  if a car battery has been flat for 6 months or more can this cause the electronic odometer(mileometer) to show all zeros

Answers
1)   No. If it did then when somebody wanted to erase the excessive miles on a car this would be all they have to do. - clncarplz

2)   No, the figures are locked into a memory chip and will remain there unless the memory chip is wiped. - Ziggy

3)   it is designed not to to try and stop folk recording false mileages. the car will have a computer module ( for engine) which will also keep a separate record of mileage and this can be checked against by folk such as trading standards.
it is possible though if you have the software and knowledge to reset the mileage in both computer and on display to whatever you want.! - chris at hornchurch

4)   Simply no. - Timbo is here

Question 5
I am not getting good mileage with my 2001 jetta diesel, what should I check for?...  I have had the oil changed, filter, air filter and gas filter changed. I also run some diesel treatment though a full tank full of fuel. I am only getting about 600-700 km on a tank of fuel and most people say I should be getting close to 1000km
It is an automatic and I do a lot of in town, rural area driving. It also starts really hard even when the temp is only at freezing 32f - 0c and when it does start there is a poof of smoke. I have only 166,000 km on the car but have only owned it since the summer so I have no idea what was done to it before I bought it.

Answers
1)   This is normal. Gas milage varies. It all depends on how your driving habits. You're getting good milage and everybody's milage is different. - Shorty

2)   I have seen a problem with vacuum leaks on these cars you may try a smoke test to put your mind at ease. - Tim JR

3)   That would be pretty respectable for an automatic stuck in town and absolutely terrible for a stick on the highway, give us some more details.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated, have someone with Vag-Com check your timing and MAF readings, it could be a number of things wrong, or it could be perfectly normal.




EDIT: Hard starting and a little smoke could be a sign of improper timing. - Richard R
