2001 vw beetle will not go into reverse
You can get the estimate for a Volkswagen Beetle at many places online. I would recommend that you go to www.gotengines.com/Volkswagen/vw-beetle-engine.html - Cached for an estimate.
go on trade me and you will probibly find bits and pieces on there.
why reverse wont go in on 2004 town car
"Volkswagen beetle prices vary from the car being pre-owned or brand new. A used beetle can go for as low as $5000. Whereas a new beetle will cost you a little under $20,000 at the minimum."

Go to this link: http://www.vw-resource.com/34pict3.html That should help.
There is a black ring right at the seat and you push in on the side of that and it will let the headrest go down.
It depnds on condition. A 1971 Standard Beetle in excellent condition could bring up to $12000.00 USD. Where as a Beetle in poor but drivable condition could go for as little as $800.00 USD.
go to The Samba http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiringt1.php
Same thing happens to my 2004 Passat. It only happens when the car has been exposed to direct sunlight and made hot. When it is cool it has never happened.
