My best suggestion would be to scan craigslist, the Samba, ebay, etc and post some links to things you like and that fit your price range.

People here can offer some good insight based on the pictures and ads you see.

Welcome.
My advice is buy a buggy that is legitimate and street legal the correct way.
Too many are on the road as Beetles just to get rolling.
If something happens and and insurance claim is required, chances are your car and damages will be disqualified.
Stay away from Craigslist or at least be very cautious. TheSamba is the best place, but with any unknown purchase proceed with caution and do your research.

so if theres a pirticular buggy im looking for where should i look? i was just over at DBA looking around at possible options. and im really liking the way som of these buggys look. im afriad im gonna get attached to one and not be able to find it.

could i give you guys a few "models" i really like and you guys could tell me possib le problems or how rare they are?

i really like the Bandito, Bounty Hunter , bush master, Empi Sportster, pretty much all the fiber jet ones, kango , Kellison Sandpiper Pickup, Shaia GT(prolly my fav...)

like i said before dont know if its even plausable to say i like this one and then look. I really like the tuck look so if theres a "more common" truck buggy out there plz point me in the right direction.
