Ok so you traded in a car that you bought for $7350 and it needed a $1500repair (assuming you did it yourself and you studded the block, replaced all hoses belts and sealed the bottom end) so at that point you own a car for $8850 that will run for another 200,000 miles EASY for a beetle that you paid $6000 + your STS that will last what another 90,000 miles and who knows what you will have to drop into it along the way, those turbos are troublesome from what I have heard.
That doesn’t make much scene to me but to each their own I guess
