It's a shame to see this because the rest of the car looks super clean, but I highly doubt the original owner put 41,000 miles on it in one year. Laughing

I saw it at BOR. It was super clean, og paint, dash etc. The quarter was hammered and somebody had already hacked into the quarter in an attempt to save it.

I find a lot of his ads to be pretty high. Since he doesn’t barter on his prices per his ad I’ve never bought from him.

$100 for a lot of 4 German PICT 30 carbs? I wouldn't budge on that price, either.

Is the market in MT that strong? Even here in LA that would be a hard sell at $2500

Think he's sneaking down to Colorado for some of that medicinal canabis and smoking it all the way home.

Even if this Beetle does only have 80K original miles - to me, it's mostly irrelevant when the front end shows signs of having been plowed into a wall at some point in its life.

Notice how the arc of the left quarter panel has a break in it, just adjacent the fuel filler. And just opposite on the right quarter, the hood seal does a wonky jog outward. The wonkiness continues where the left side of the hood seal transitions from the quarter down to the apron...way poor repair job

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


And speaking of more wonky, something's just "off" with the front fenders, shape and all. Note how the left headlight is farther from the hood line than the right headlight.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Throw in the el-cheapo, super gappy bumpers (rear one all saggy), no blue-white on wheels, painted hood latch, sub-standard carpet install, zip-tied front license plate, no trim on running boards, etc. No way this car is worth 17-five. This flipper should be asking maybe half.

Don't know if this has been touched upon recently, or ever, but what is with all the cars for sale where the owner doesn't include photographs of the engine/motor, ya know, the heart of the car? Confused

Some ads don't even mention the motor, let alone include pictures of it. They will say something like "runs and drives" so that means it has a motor. This seems really goofy to me, and if/when I buy another vw to add to my stable I will skip right over ads that don't include pics of the motor!

I like how he says he'll "throw in" parts that belong with the car. And "No haggle don't bother...48 hours and the add [sic] drops..."

Better hurry!

Oh wait, we're way past 48 hours...somebody e-mail him to remind him to pull the ad Confused

100% original and you’d be hard pressed to find a better one for that price? Yeah, ok....

Its a nice looking car and I am not debating the percentage of original parts but it is up there on the price scale. I would love to see the damaged fender though to see how much damage a bottle rocket could actually do.

Powder burns?

Maybe some Bacitracin?
