Why is this a big surprise? My Jetta has 270,000 miles and is still going strong. Other than the sheet metal a Beatle and a Jetta are the same car... Loads of TDIs go over 400,000 miles. -Curt

Up until that time she drove her mom's old model MB although I do not think I knew her very well at that point. Anyway she graduated in 2001 or 2002. Before she graduated she gave me a ride in her new bug with the moon roof etc. because I told her I liked it. Well she posted a photo of her odometer and it now has 250,000 miles on it. She said she and her parents went for a test drive in it 15 years ago and it had 11 miles on it. She still loves the car. I also remember it was a diesel and I had a diesel in the design parking lot." So it seems at least one new beetle Diesel has covered 250k and the owner is still happy. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
