Evaluating the donor

If well maintained, the basic mechanical systems of a New Beetle should perform well for over 200,000 miles.

The required intensity of maintenance and/or repair will depend on the condition of the acquired vehicle (in our case a 2004 Turbo S model with 51,500 miles).

  • Level 1 routine service regardless of odometer reading
  • Level 2 engine overhaul for high mileage donors
