A reader was advised to consider buying a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI Convertible located in Cedar Falls, Iowa, listed at $13,000 and to negotiate aggressively.
The Volkswagen is a diesel convertible with a manual transmission, heated seats and 99,729 miles, and the write-up cites about 31 mpg combined and a roughly 450-mile range between fill-ups, and is described as comfortable with an engine expected to last.
The advice notes diesel prices are high and recommends making a very low offer—suggesting a target around $5,000—because older diesel convertibles, especially manual two-door passenger cars, can be hard to sell.
At the listed $13,000, the vehicle sits within the reader's stated budget, but the adviser encourages walking away unless a steep discount is obtained.
