Finished in a beautiful Salsa Red exterior with a Tan interior and matching Tan convertible top, this Beetle has the classic New Beetle personality that makes these cars so much fun to own.
Even more impressive is the mileage — only 32,676 miles. That is exceptionally low mileage for a 2008 model and makes this Beetle particularly appealing to someone searching for a clean, low-mileage example.
Add in the newer tires, attractive color combination and convertible design, and this is a Beetle that is ready for sunny days, weekend cruises and plenty of attention wherever it goes.
Why the New Beetle Convertible Is So Popular
The Volkswagen New Beetle was designed as a modern interpretation of the iconic original Beetle, combining the unmistakable rounded shape with modern comfort, safety and convenience features.
The convertible version takes that personality one step further. With the top down, the New Beetle has an unmistakable boulevard-cruiser character that makes even an ordinary drive feel like an occasion.
The 2008 SE Convertible was powered by Volkswagen's 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, producing 150 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. The SE Convertible was equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control, front-wheel drive and a power-operated convertible top.
Low Mileage Makes This One Stand Out
Only 32,676 miles!
Low mileage is one of the biggest attractions of this particular Beetle. Finding a 2008 New Beetle Convertible with mileage this low is becoming increasingly difficult.
At just over 32,000 miles, this car has averaged only about 1,800 miles per year since new.
For the buyer looking for a special-use vehicle, weekend cruiser or simply a fun second car, this mileage makes this Beetle particularly interesting.
A Great Color Combination
The Salsa Red exterior gives this Beetle an unmistakable presence, while the Tan interior and Tan convertible top create a warm, upscale combination.
With the top down, the red-and-tan combination really comes alive and gives the car a classic summer-cruising appearance.
This is the kind of car that gets noticed.
