Hi,
Thank goodness I found this site! Enjoying the information.

My wife and I are retired and I just got a "cute" 2005 New Beetle convertible for her on an online auction. 76,000 miles

The picture of it showed a blown rear tire and some marks on the fender well from it coming apart. No big deal right?


However there are a few problems with it so I can't even drive it right now;

Transmission shifts weird when it warms up. jerks into reverse etc...

Rear alignment is way off, inside of tires wearing bad.

Help! Can you tell me if this car is going to be worth keeping?

It sure looks cute. but far cry from the first car I drove. 61' bug.
