Official whine about Beetles and parts for sale topic

I don't think it's really for $0 - I think the seller just didn't know what to ask, he did say "offers?" But that's certainly better than most of the ads we usually talk about in this thread.

So it was stolen sometime between 1996 and 2006 and nine years later posting a "Stolen" ad..... Hmmmmm. I wish the guy the best in finding his car, but that is one hell of a window of time.

Not a gripe about price or condition, but about adds. I have sent PM's to several members as of late to buy parts, they haven't been online in weeks. Now I know that people have lives but if you are posting items for sale, at least check in every two or three days to see if there are members inquiring.

I sent PM's and an email to two members here three days ago wanting to buy their parts, the both have been online more than once with no reply? Hey if you don't like me and don't want to sell to me then fine don't, or if it has been sold then at least PM me and tell me.

Also I recently bought an item, paid and waited patently for it to arrive, two weeks pass and nothing. I then send message and the seller says he can't find it but has another in not as good condition...WTH. I passed on the lesser item. I then contacted another member to buy the same item, I pay and again nothing for almost two weeks?? Finally I get a PM saying it's on the way. Again I know people have lives, but hey, they posted the items, they have responsibilities when it comes to them...no?

Not all is bad, I did buy an item from a member, and received it in two days and left great feedback.

If they don't get back with you just move on. Use the feedback section as needed for both buyer and seller.

One note:
Don't use the PM system to contact sellers.
Email them through the ad only.

There are a lot of people that do not know they have PMs or simply don't read them.

Everett, I haven't had any problems in the past with PM's, just lately. OK, will just do emails from now on.

Beautiful car but....Did 66 verts have a carpeted tunnel under the wrong color replacement vinyl mats and white piping on the seats? For that price I expect perfect original interior and a numbers matching low mileage 1300 engine. I just don't understand the mindset of some people, must be a flipper. At least he did not list it as original or factory correct.

The German final chassis number for the type 1 in 66 is usually listed as 1161021298, still over a million. I don't know how they tally those things up for the other countries and such.

So cal parts total suck you should never use them for anything I purchased a dome light with no way to hook up the wires on one side has a male spade on one side a mini spade connectors that the only way to do it was soider it but when I pushed it in the hole it broke they will not take it back. Also bought a seat knob put it on let go of the leaver it flies off.

He seems pretty honest about it though. Other then the doors the paint looks pretty original to me. Actually looks like a a pretty clean car over priced alittle yes. But it is lowered on earlies.....
