2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI Convertible — 6-SPEED MANUAL — Denim Blue over Beige with Tan Cloth Top — 111,999 Miles

Diesel. Three pedals. A folding cloth roof. Volkswagen built that combination for about two model years in the United States and then stopped forever, and the number that reached these shores was small enough that owners on VW enthusiast forums have gone months hunting for one without finding a single example. This is that car — Denim Blue over beige with a tan cloth top, which is the combination people actually want when they picture a Beetle convertible. It is not a fast car and it was never meant to be. It's a 40-plus-mpg-on-a-good-day diesel that you can drop the top on, row your own gears in, and drive across three states on one tank. Two keys and the original owner's manual books are included.

? WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING
• 90-point inspection completed — this car went through our own shop, Duluth Auto Service & Imports, before it was listed.
• Reconditioning performed by our own service team (07/2026): radiator fan replaced, fuel filter, door lock repair, cabin air filter, oil and filter change, and a full pre-delivery inspection. Combined with a new battery and two new tires fitted earlier this year, the estimated retail value of recent work at Volkswagen dealer rates is approximately $1,870 – $3,240 (our estimate — CARFAX documents the work performed, not what it costs).
• The timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and serpentine belt were all replaced at 84,448 miles. On a TDI this is the single most expensive scheduled service the engine will ever need, and on this car it is roughly 27,500 miles behind you rather than ahead of you. Ask any diesel owner what that's worth.
• 29 service history records and 52 detailed records — mostly at franchised Volkswagen dealerships in Florida. For a thirteen-year-old car this is an unusually complete file.
• Clean title, guaranteed by CARFAX — no salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail, or lemon branding, and no odometer discrepancy, across all three owners. No total loss, no structural damage, and no airbag deployment reported.
• This car was part of the Volkswagen diesel emissions settlement and carries the EPA-approved modification. That's an important piece of history and it's disclosed in full below — please read it before you go further.
• Two damage reports on the CARFAX, from 2020 and 2021. Also disclosed in full below, with what CARFAX does and doesn't tell us about them.
• Two keys and the original owner's manual books.

?? REAL VALUE
This one is genuinely harder to price than most cars, and we'd rather explain why than hand you a number and hope you don't ask.

The broad market for a Beetle TDI Convertible sits around $12,000. CARFAX's History-Based Value for this specific car is $12,540. Nationally, roughly two dozen Beetle TDI Convertibles are listed at any given time, spanning $8,799 to $19,954 depending on mileage, condition, and equipment.

But almost every one of those is an automatic. This one is a 6-speed manual, and that changes the buyer pool entirely. Searching current nationwide inventory at one of the largest online used-car retailers for a Beetle convertible with a manual transmission — any engine, any year — returns zero cars. On Volkswagen enthusiast forums, people specifically hunting a manual TDI convertible have reported going months without finding one for sale. Locally we could identify only two comparable TDI convertibles: one asking $12,158 with 12
