      Pretty cool that you love Beetles! Especially this body style because not many do. I’ve owned 4 beetles and one of them was a 2002 Turbo S. I loved it, and still kick myself for giving it up esp. with the modifications done to it. It was silver too. If you ever want to sell...haha!! I am in Wichita though. ☺️

      I'd be willing to bet the original owner of the car sold it long before the plugs were due to be changed. Probably traded it in to a non-VW dealership who detailed it, rotated the tires for the second time, and sold it as a "one owner, always garaged, driven to church on Sundays" special at twice what they gave in trade in value. That owner drove it until all the service was due, then dumped it at Carmax (see the sticker on the rear windshield). They re-sold it without doing anything other than a tire and (alleged) oil change to the owner who drove it into the ground.

    That is indeed a great find! I would have loved to have bought that car for myself. We have a black 2003 Turbo S Beetle in the family that my dad bought in early 2005. Still have the car with under 40k and is still like brand new inside and out. All the interior plastic still held up nicely and absolutely nothing is broken. This is the nicest and fastest beetle ever produced next to the color concept Beetle's from 2002-2003. Also have a 2000 Beetle TDI with almost 235k and is another fun little car. These are great little cars that also don't get much credit and are easily overlooked. I'm glad this car ended up in the right hands.

    The turbo s was my first car. Ive kept up with a bunch of sports cars in it. The steering and handling is super solid and there's very minimal body roll. And the 6 speed felt so good compared to my forester, almost gated like it guided you into gear and clicked. I took it on a rally that started at a stock car track. We just did timed laps with a figure 8 in the middle. I ended up smoking most of the newer cameros etc. When I told my dad that I was swapping it out for something more practical with awd for Colorado stuff (my current forester), he bought the car off me because he loves it so much. Sadly, its been sitting in his garage and now its super dusty and dirty inside.
