The 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Fender Edition was announced back in May, and with the car hitting dealers soon, VW has finally released the pricing for the guitar-inspired Bug. There will be two versions of this new model: the Beetle 2.5L Fender Edition starting at $24,440 and the Beetle Turbo Fender Edition going for $28,130. These prices are for manual transmission-equipped models and (*) do not include the $795 destination charge.
To recap, the Fender Edition adds Volkswagen's 400-watt Fender audio system, exclusive instrument panel accents that mimic a guitar and V-Tex leatherette seats with unique cloth accents running down the middle. To spice up the styling even more, these cars also come only in Deep Black Pearl Metallic exterior paint with lots of shiny bits including the "Disc" wheels, brushed chrome mirror caps and even the headlights with the Bi-Xenon lighting with jewel-like LED daytime running lights.
In base form, the Beetle Fender Edition starts with the Beetle 2.5L with Sunroof and adds a $2,145 premium (almost enough that you could afford an Eric Clapton Fender Stratocaster) while the Beetle Turbo Fender Edition is based on the Beetle Turbo with Sunroof and Sound representing a price increase of $1,735 (a similar price as a Jim Root Fender Stratocaster). The 2.5L can also be equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission starting at $25,540, and the Turbo can be had with the DSG dual-clutch transmission for $29,200.

Herndon, VA - Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced pricing for the 2013 Beetle Fender® Edition, a special edition of the popular coupe that marries iconic names from music and motoring. The Beetle Fender® Edition is available with two powertrains: the 170-horsepower 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine mated to either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission; and the turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI® four-cylinder engine that's paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The 2.5L Beetle Fender® Edition includes all the features found on the 2.5L Beetle with Sunroof model, while the 2.0T Beetle Fender® Edition takes the Beetle Turbo with Sunroof and Sound as its starting point.

And, of course, the Beetle Fender® Edition features the high-performance, award-winning Fender Premium Audio System. The concert-quality audio is the result of proprietary Panasonic® speaker technology, which cuts through noise, and dual-voice coil speakers that faithfully reproduce the sound of a live performance.
