Rather unusual to put them up for sale and them not specify where you can ask for further info on 'em.

I know very odd...then again I didn't go and ask anywhere or anything... could be owned by someone in one of the buildings next door...

I think this dealer actually does need someone to laugh in his face and tell him a few home truths. Then maybe the price will drop. It will be a pity to see this baby sitting in some dealers showroom then getting taken out every lunchtime to pick up the mechanics lunch orders.

Squiz.....

No idea... w00t w00t w00t! If I find a VW Beetle covered under Warranty (3 or 4 years) My folks might let me buy it! Yeah!!!
Now I just need to find a dealership beetle with 3 years warranty.. yipe.

Do any dealerships offer warranty on such old cars/allow you to purchase a warranty?

Those Beetles in the lot belong to Volkspower 03 9808 6777. They will be selling from that lot in the near future.

i saw this beetle at show a few years back and if i remember correctly the back window was grafted in, its not an original oval.
they did a good job of grafting in the dash and H panel aswell then.

still not a $30k car though

yep thats it all right... they definately did a good job with grafting the oval window in as well as dash... not that I'd really be able to tell I haven't seen many ovals up close.....the sales guy did advertise it as a '56 oval ...

kippadee I'd contact volkspower about those dubs then ... I'm pretty sure they'd arrange with you to get a short warranty on them ...

The black 60s Bug Reg "Vuidub", saw the actual car at Volkspower, pretty cool, the interior is like Louis Vuitton Monogram. lol 😀
I took a photo from my phone, see if I can upload it here...

Yeah I think I saw that 30K bug in the Mags, in VW Performance Centre Ad...
but common, 30K I rather build my very own Custom "dream" ride with anything I like in it, I'm sure after spending 30Ks, you won't wana drop in a cent into that car, and it looses the whole purpose of owning a VW, keep adding new stuff in 🙂

Volkspower is selling a fair few bugs, but all over $7k... Do they negotiate or just sell for ridiculous prices as a rule?

You have bad info there Kippa Dee, the cars start from 4.5k with a RWC, 12 months reg and a warranty. The ones over 7k are worth that.

4.5k is a good price for a straight bug with a good motor
