Mate just check for the normal stuff but make sure you give the floor a good look over as they love to rust if not looked after. Check to see that all is legal with the rego in the way of approvals etc. Sounds like it could be a fair buy if it is reasonable condition.
if it is a short wheel base and you dont buy it. i want to have first choice. i will buy it happily. let me know.
i paid 5k for mine... and would love another with nsw rego to add to the 'man shed'.:bounce
let me know if you dont buy it. but i would suggest if you want one then get it.
No offense to you personally, but the generally consensous is that the J&S is the ugliest of all buggies. Not that there's anything wrong with that :thumb
i was wanting to know waht the buggy is in byron? i know what mine is.....
and wes you can hold that opinion. i am not worried about what your thought is. you wont get a flaming. you are fortunate that in qld you guys can just rego something anytime you like. we do not have that luxury in nsw, so you take what you can get. i still get to buggy around and go to stockton (which i hear you are not, bummer). if you are happy to donate a manx body or supa body... i would be more than happy to accept it. then we would all be happy, huh.😀
happily awaiting your generosity in consideration of my position.😀😀😎😀😀

Well actually you would be hard pressed getting a newly built SWB buggy approved in QLD. That's why everyone buys already approved buggies. So, Byronbus, if it has papers it's worth it. :thumb
I'm disappointed I can't make Stockton, I'm sitting around waiting to hear if I will be able to make it to Fraser 🙁
Byronbus, make sure the chassis number on the rego papers match the one on the buggy. I would also check engine numbers as well. You then need to see what it is registered as, eg sedan,on the papers, this is VERY important.
The big problem is that people buy registered beetles, convert to buggies, and think this means its registered !!
have seen mantras , and contrary to baja wes i think they are further down the looks trail. but for 4k it is a good buy still. besides if it is a true rego'd buggy you can always change the body later.
as for the pic i posted, yellow wiht red flames, this is a proto-type of a new one being designed and getting ready for sale in the states.
