take care of it, it takes care of youWhat is the life expectancy of a 1998 or 1999 VW New Beetle?150K mi is the lifespan target for most cars built in the last 10-15 years.

My '98 2.0L manual is coming up to 210,000km and is still going strong. Mainly regular maintenance like light bulbs, oil and filter changes. I've had to replace the radiator right after I bought it because the previous owner cracked it. I've had to replace the ignition coil, because after 10 years of hot/cold cycles it's started to develop stress cracks on the housing. That is the sum total.What is the life expectancy of a 1998 or 1999 VW New Beetle?Any(and notice I use the word "Any") car can last one or two days(if you just don't give a rat's pat-toii about following the owners manual) in regards to breaking it in, and recommended rpm's between shifts(on a standard) and what is recommended on an automatic.(I don't own an automatic , cause that is too "girly" for me.

Or almost any car, I have to say almost for there was a run of cars in the 70's that would begin to rust from the inside out because of the composition of the steel(an activating oxidizer was thrown in the molten metal). And the steel is formulated according to the auto manufacters demands.

Even if the car stayed in the showroom and never saw the outdoors it would rust. The government stepped in on that because automanufacturers were "forcing people" to buy new cars by destroying the older ones.

So, if you maintain your car according to manufacturers specs. and drove accordingly (and didn't get into an accident) and repaired minor problems before they got large.....no reason not to expect 30-50 years out of them if not longer. The Model T still floats around(1919 somewhere and many cars from the 20's,30's,40's are in vintage car clubs or in old peoples garages.

It is really up to the driver. You buy a new shirt, pants, shoes - you take care of them they will last......you go parting with ditch pigs and fixing machinery or cars or doing construction work in them, they will last a couple of days maybe.

Average life on a VW is easy over 100,000 Many are still on the road as daily drivers and they are from the early 60's. "That clock has been around a few times"...but the more stuff you have in them, the more chance there is "something that will fail"What is the life expectancy of a 1998 or 1999 VW New Beetle?
Why on earth would you be bothered how long a car is going to last ? It is highly unlikely that you would even dream of driving a car for more than 2 or 3 years of ownership.
