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).

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.

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.

When the New Beetle made its debut, this device was programmed to pop up at 93 mph. This seemed a bit extreme to VW's U.S. marketing people, who finally got their colleagues in Germany to reduce deployment speed to make the spoiler visible in everyday traffic. But the compromise--40-mph deployment, 10-mph retraction--creates a problem. Deployments and retractions are audible, sounding like pieces falling off the car, and in urban traffic they're also frequent."

"I'll trade you tickets." Hoovie almost pulled that trigger.

[@theyunglos]

HIS EYES LIT UP LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Had a 2000 bright yellow turbo. Total dream to drive. Handling was incredible. Almost like flying. Smooth and silent.

[@painlesstom]

I just made a deal for a 2003 just like this, but pristinely maintained, going to pick it up in the morning!

[@joegq2685]

I’m immediately invested in this beetle. Over to Wiz’s now...

[@theyunglos]

SAME!!! lol

[@bantamexcelsior1477]

Tyler.... When do we get to hear the story on the "Clown shoe" Z3 M?

[@mikesmachines8859]

Thought i had missed a video on it or something. Guess its not just me looking for an answer.

[@handsomerob1223]

Bantam Excelsior I think he got it for his tv show.

[@johnnyBqwazy]

I noted the same. He gave us a peek when he bought those last 5 or so cars, it was in the background a few months ago. That sly dog... NOW LETS SEE IT Tyler.

[@Gjesmeaner]

Didn't he make a video about two Z3 coupes about a year ago? Is this one of those two? I have been wondering too...

[@bantamexcelsior1477]

@@Gjesmeaner ... You're right! Hoovie did do a video on the "odd" Z3 M Coupe, but they were both silver and wasn't sure if one of them was his. Tyler may have finally bought his own and seeing as he created a video before, I can see why he didn't want to do one again. Although... it would be cool to see the what's wrong with the Z3 video... Just a thought Tyler!

[@michaeld2799md]

Still peeping the Z3 Roadster in the back 😍💯 also, this is proof that a few hundred bucks can get you a decent vehicle in some cases.

[@audiblearcavr9982]

I recently bought a 2002 turbo s for $500 from a friend of my dad's and we have been restoring it as a family and its awesome.

[@tylerwarren]

Is anyone else really happy for the Wizard? He seemed in love!

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

😂😂 Wizard said "this sum a gun MIIIINE!" 😂😂 Awesome.

[@JonMichaelDeShazer]

9:26 Half expecting to hear a TARDIS whooshing sound and seeing the car slowly disappear with that Doctor Who bumper sticker

[@DocMackGarage]

The car Wizard is more excited than a Porcupine with a PineApple.

[@terrallputnam7979]

Amen on the Ford V-6! I had to remove my wife's intake to tune up her Taurus X. It took a while and I goofed up the Throttle body so I had to replace that and a new air filter. Now it runs much better.

[@pepemapache]

Wish I had the 6 speed manual! I, instead, got another rare one: a 2001 isotope green 1.8t 5 speed for $600. After some repairs (new timing belt, water pump, timing chain hydraulic tensioner [it has a separate variable timing chain for the cams], serpentine belt, oil pressure sensor, coolant sensors, wheel bearings, shocks and brakes, flywheel and clutch plate) it is actually very fun to drive! It literally gets a lot of attention now even for being an "old new beetle". These are really fun cars and with proper maintenance, they can last forever

[@maxcactus7]

7:10 The interior is so filthy I'm wretching! I love the Wizard offering $1000 to fix all the problems on the car!

[@Ready72000]

Throckmorton The Wizard is BUYING the car for $1000.

[@pennise]

@@Ready72000 And THAT will fix all the problems...get it?

[@Viraqua]

THAT gets you wretching? That is in the top 30% for cleanliness for the vehicles I end up working in. Especially family minivans.

[@americantrucknation4891]

Your next vehicle: the cheapest ford f550 rollback tow truck

[@Fozzymaple]

@Honda 250R Also, Wizard already has a tow truck,, and it's bigger than a 550 rollback. Hoovie buying a tow truck would be redundant.

[@98triffid]

@@Fozzymaple Would it though? I mean he clearly often needs one

[@youngexotics2155]

I thought the beetle was going to stop in the middle of the railroad and be driven over by a train. You really got lucky man! You didn’t get run over by a train and you made $300!

[@desertaliend_b9840]

Young Exotics coils and spark plugs were probably $300 all together. Odds are he broke even. But at least he got a video out of it.

[@seanriley1603]

I’ve never seen that many sets of railroad tracks in one crossing. I guess it’s Hoovie’s favorite rattle test.

[@kimberlybrookes5844]

I am getting one of these. If not a manual turbo S then Maybe a 2006-2010 one. I don’t care what people say I think they look awesome!

[@Legeden]

A heartwarming tale of two men and a beetle :D I appreciate compact cars like this, the unsung heroes of cramped city parking lots that you can squeeze between two out of line SUVs

[@zdskillz849]

Thanks for uploading during quarantine, exactly what I needed

[@djuell01]

Totally knew he was going to get the Wizard buy it, perfect timing! Good little video.

[@specialboye4910]

That Porsche has scored bores, can tell immediately by the noise+ one exhaust letting smoke. Atleast 8k to fix or a new engine, R I P

[@makusmati]

certainly scored a lemon there haha

[@davidgray5583]

What’s the 8k fix ? New short block with nickies ?

[@jerrynormandin2892]

I actually owned a 2003 Turbo S. I bought it in 2004. I originally bought it because my commute to work increased to 130 miles/day . The car had a great stereo to make the time during the commute fly by. My car had a Monsoon Stereo. That car was fast, I actually had the speedometer pegged. At launch that car had massive torque steer. The car got me a few speeding tickets, so in 2006 I traded it in for a Honda Element. I kept that car until I had to adjust the solid lifters every 30k miles. Four years ago my commute to work got short and sweet.. Only 36 miles round trip, so I bought a Jeep Wrangler. That's got to my favorite vehicle so far. It reminds me of a toy I had as a kid.. It's the only vehicle that you can take the doors and roof off and still be legal.

[@May-qb3vx]

I love my VW turbo beetle. She’s been being a royal pain my butt recently but she’s also 17 years old so it’s pretty much expected at this point. Just a blast to drive.

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

Yep, knew the Wizard was bout ready to snatch it right when he saw it lol

[@TVhighlightsclub]

Thanks for keeping me entertained Tyler!

[@seanthomasrauchert1695]

I have a a bunch of vw & Audi's ❤em my 99 passat is basically an a4 Now I wanna find a turboS thx hoov

[@colpitts350]

Man the wizard is what keeps me watching these videos. He’s so chill. He was like a kid on Christmas playing with his new beetle.

[@SynchroSk8]

As a VW Beetle enthusiast, I absolutely adored my new beetle. I am in a 2019 Beetle Coupe now. But that Techno Blue New Beetle I had was a lifestyle game changer for me. It is so much fun to drive a car that people smile about. So great. Enjoy that Turbo S.

[@SynchroSk8]

Or I should tell the Wizard to enjoy! LOL - I hope you get your for yourself! So much fun.

[@v745ti]

I remember seeing this at Bob Howard - they wanted $4500 for it back in early March haha.

[@duster497]

I've never seen Car Wizard light up so much as he did when he heard Turbo S. 😀

[@laylafarhan2519]

Yessss let's go Hoovie - keeping me entertained and happy!

[@heincarpenter]

Great hooptie. The 1.8 20V engine was developed with Yamaha. Beware for the plastic clips of the window regulators, they fail. Just like in every Golf 4 derivative.

[@mattalki]

I had a mk4 Golf TDI that I sold with 393K miles on it. It was the most reliable car I've ever had. I replaced it with a mk7 Golf TDI. Have fun with the turbo S Beetle. I remember when they came out... they were soooo cool.

[@craigm2209]

Wizard loves these cars. Only the bug gets the Gold!!!

[@theshadowman1398]

The front wheel drive beetles. No Hoovie don’t go to the dark side

[@goodvibes739]

4:15 regret.

[@zaclarkby6389]

Fwd is life

[@hank1556]

you mean 'wrong wheel drive' haha

[@theshadowman1398]

Zac Larkby That’s not life, it’s just existence. A life is always oversteer.

[@shannons1886]

Would be awesome as RWD

[@ebbejacobsen179]

The Wizard should do a rebuild series on this, and bringing it back to its glory

[@tjk9263]

Didn't realize the new VW Beetle had glory to go back to

[@wtfobiden]

My 03 golf tdi 5 speed car needs a turbo too, but at 356,000 miles, why stop now. Keep throwing parts at it and make it to 500k miles and beyond!!! Vw 1.9L alh turbo action for the win.

[@SeanPageDrummer]

I’ve had to put some money into my turbo S because the girl that owned it before me didn’t do any of the maintenance. I love the car, it’s a baby R Line. It’s a good car the motor is still strong at 180,000 miles despite what she went through.
