I was thinking about picking up this bug, but I live 1000 miles from it. Anyone willing to take a look at it for me if you live in that area? Tacoma Washington.

Thanks for the help 6d6vdub. The fact is that I have the ONLY running driving bug in the town I live in. There may be a few rust buckets in the surrounding areas, but I already did one of those. I have never even seen a efi turbo bug, or turbo at all in person. In fact I have only seen 3 bugs up close in my life. The whole turbo thing gives me wood!! Seems like a pretty good buy, but I wouldnt be comfortable paying that much for a bug without at least having a trustworthy person look at it for me. (not that I dont trust the seller, but your own stuff seems to be a little better to yourself than in reality. Plus, not knowing much about turbo's, I am a little sceptical. Figured someone in the Samba would live nearby.

No problem on the help and what I would do if I were you is ask the seller if he would mind having it checked out for you. You could even arrange it by having him talk with Franklin at Franklins VW Werks and Franklin knows turbo motors.

Is Franklins in Tacoma? Would they check it out for me (for a fee of coarse)? The guy told me that he has someone coming to look at it this weekend, I asked him to let me know if he still has it come Sun. night. If he does, I will contact Franklins and ask if I can have it checked out. Having an unbiased oppinion would be great.

I think would ask to see a pic of the driver's side...might just be an oversight, but it isn't shown.

So you guys kissed and made up?? Cool. buguy, Franklins is in Kent, which is between Seattle and Tacoma, so getting there should not be a problem for the seller. If you click the link in my sig, you can find all the info you want on the shop.

buguy Sat Jan 22, 2005 10:40 am

Cool. Thanks for all you help.
