1999 VW Cabrio Convertible, Red...


There's a subject that I wanted to talk about, but never knew how to work it in, so I'll just start talking. That usually works. About a year ago, I had a 99 VW Red Cabrio convertible for sale and it took about "forever" to get someone interested in it. I recall an engineer and his daughter came out and read the owner's manual for almost 3 hours and requested a lot of information that I didn't have, so I spent a lot of time researching for him and when I supplied him with the info, he told me he's been looking at about a dozen of them and mine isn't even near the top of his list and why am I calling him?

I finally sold the car, rather easily, to a young girl that was a single mother an her mom wanted her to have a nice car and was paying for it. After getting her the title and plates, she wouldn't return my calls or pick up the stuff, so eventually I just mailed it to her home address, always wondering why she acted so strangely.

The reason that I'm touching on the story is, ever since I believe it was June of 08 and I wrote the blog entry, I've been getting at least 2 or 3 hits a day on that story. The people reading about it are all over the world. Australia, England, China, Israel, and all across the Middle East, not to mention Florida and California primarily in this country, but a lot from Canada and Mexico. Why is it that a car that took me about 6 months to sell was and remains so poplular? So I'm going to entitle this entry, 99 VW Cabrio Convertible, Red. and see if it gets the same recognition and perhaps in the comment section, someone will explain why. Thanks...
