hi,
i bought a bug from california that was supposed to be in better shape than it is. i've noticed a lot of problems since i picked it up yesterday. i'm trying to get the seller to give me some of my money back and he's willing to return up to $500, but i'm worried it may cost more than that. but i don't know for sure. need expert eyes. if it costs more than that, i need to know before sunday when we will finalize it.
i suspect there's a problem with the front end, the brakes, the engine, the tranny and a few other things. but again, i am not sure how much work needs to be done and what the cost might be.
does anyone have time to come by and take a look sometime before sunday? i'd really appreciate the help. i can be reached at 604-218-3732 if you can make it. i'm in the vancouver area.

I could make it over on Sunday morning to have a look.

hope it will be at the show, and maybe drag you along as well.

wow!! car looks great!! I wouldn't worry too much if the mechanicals aren't 100%. thats easily fixable. I mean if the bodywork was questionable, that would be a bigger problem.
-
sweet car. looks solid.
like hellgti said, the mechanicals you can go through easily. if it's rust free, thats 75% of the battle won allready.
cali black plates too. :rockon:
do mind me asking what you paid for it and how you found it? just curious, thats all.
-
Nice looking car you have there B) . Love the color :wub: . Man cant let my wife see that pic or I'll be buying her one .
Good buy

My wife is in love, do you wanna sell it? I will give you what you paid for it...Silas, I know what he paid for it, it was a good deal, but I will let Biffa tell you if he wants to

Hey thanks for the support. I contacted a guy on The Samba, Kenny from Lakewood California, he sells like 20 early v dubs a month. I don't know where he finds them all! He acted as a \"middleman\" on this one...
Finally have some closure to the deal and I got a grand back from the seller and the final price was six big ones. I got the car I was looking for and I'm sure the spending spree isn't over yet :!:
-
That loos like a nice car. were the pics taken at your place or the seller's? I see a black oval in the garage in the 2nd pic, just curious if you have a small collection going on here.
-
Glad it worked out for yah! Sweet car! Lets us know when you wanna do the front end.
