Man, that car's in the the new issue too. How do you spend that kind of time and money just to sell the car shortly after? _________________ Jeff

Lol, that car wouldnt be half bad if it was a different color, wasnt a targa top, and didnt have those broke ass pokemon ear lookin things on the roof. Other than that, its a stunner!
Kinda like the wheels though. _________________ Jeff

i must be pretty lucky. i bought my current 60-something for about $200. not sure about how much i'm going to be spending but it is pretty much complete and completely functional 'cept for one of the double-eye lenses being broken. i have two pairs of complete headlight assemblies on the way. shipping to the philippines is a killer though. |

I agree. It's either restored or it isn't. Simple as that... and a car with just primer on it is not restored... |

Yeah, I think he said that the fenders were "Updated" to a newer version
One of those ovals would be a sweet project...Maybe we can offer him a superbeetle for a trade...its a newer and improved model as well |

Boo for Summer jacking up all the prices. Boo for being on the east coast where rust let's you proclaim "All original!" I also like it when they say it's a real easy project and just needs heater channels and floorpans ... because they're extremely easy and inexpensive to do right? riiiiiiiight.... |

Posted: Sun May 06, 2007 3:06 pm Post subject: Parts Prices |
|
|
I own a couple of Vintage VWs and I can tell you they are heaven when it comes to parts availability and price compared to other vintage cars. I think that some other cars, say Corvette, Camaro or Mustang, also have a lot of parts availability too. But cost you dearly most of the time.
If I have any complaints about VW parts is the fact that some people make cheap crappy poor quality parts for them and you have to watch out. Aside from that, I've been able to find anything I need and it hasn't been very expensive compared to other cars.
I've got a couple of AMC Gremlins right now and while the parts aren't expensive usually for these, I've come to the conclusion that I just might never find everything I need to restore both of these cars and may have to settle for one only.
If you think parts are expensive and hard to find for VWs, get you an old Ford Edsel or something made by British Leyland. After that you'll be tickled pink to get back to your Volks! |

when somebody want the parts you have for sale, exchanges multiple emails for details, need to know your payment method so they can buy it and then you never here from them again. TIRE KICKERS |

I definitely hear you on that, believe me I understand how cheap VW's are compared to just about every other car. My friend is really into old Camaro's and you have to pay thooooousands of dollars to even get a sniff of a crap car, let alone one that is decent condition.
I just wanted to get in the spirit of "whining", and my frustration just comes from people who are obviously fishing for a sucker by pricing their car way out of it's market range, and just flat out overstating the cars condition from what can clearly be seen.
I love VW's! |

|
|
Usually when someone overprices a car for sale he or she doesn't sell it for a long time, if ever. But every now and then, that sucker is bought by someone! I guess there is no price but what someone is willing to pay.
And speaking of Camaros, I've seen people pay quite a bit for a rusty, bondo plastered and bent up Camaro. After spending 6 grand on something this bad, what are you gonna have in it by the time you're done? At least with a VW you can unbolt some of that stuff and throw it away (or sell it to someone more desperate). With a Camaro you are stuck with trying to get all of that right. I wouldn't do it.
Another thing I like (really like) about VWs is the large selection of parts. Look at the way you can put back on the molding and emblems. You can go cheap, go original or use stainless steel/custom. Custom seats that just bolt in ...or white window seals? I love it! |
