I purschased this car back in January 2009 from forum member Ed, please see here:
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=73821&page=1#pid687303
with mileage on the car showing 16853 miles, 116853 miles
as of today car is showing 17242 miles, 117242 miles
I paid $5800 for the car, I am now asking $6200 for her.
Since I purschased the Beetle back in January I have had the following things done to her,
new fanbelt, and spare fanbelt purschased - $50
in February oil change and service, $165
in March new clutch forks, plates and clutch cable, new fuel line also fitted at this time, cost $660
Last Month car has had a major service, new distributor, oils changed, x4 brake hoses replaced (car still had the original 1965 vintage hoses fitted)
distributor had to be changed because the points for the original unit were no longer available I was told from my mechanic.
x4 new tie rod ends and the steering rebuilt completely at the same time as the major service, new rotor, new cap, new plugs etc... etc.. done, x7 new hubcap clips were fitted also.
this was done at a total cost of $980
I have spent nearly $2,000 in mechanical repairs at the local Volkswagen Beetle mechanic here.
As you can see car has had a bit of money spent on her in the last few months.
Really drives very well now, starts very easily.
I had a look at the floor pan when the car was at the mechanic, the pan is very good, dent and rust free, my mechanic commented on how well the car is with most pans being rusted out,
There is still wax coating under the car
Car is all original, 6 volt electrics still, with the original picnic radio fitted to the dash
Really the only things the car needs is a good clean and maybe if you are fussy a new seat trim kit fitted,
car has original seat belts etc...
runs and drives very well, cruises along the highway at 100kph easily.
I always get a lot of attention when I drive her, people always commenting on how nice and original it is.
This is an original unmessed with car, nothing mucked with, just like it left the factory.
Please genuine buyers only, my time is very short at the moment, with my father just coming out of hospital after a 2 month stay with heart complications,
I am quite happy to help with interstate buyers, with transport, or for local people to come and have a look, just please no joyriders looking to drive the guts out of my car with no interest in buying it.
I feel bad saying that, but last time I sold a car I had so many people just waning to drive it like it wasn't there car
Some pictures now:
Lights work well on 6 volts
Original antenna with the lock down key and brochure
I picked up a full set of books for the car on ebay
Mileage as of today:
Original radio
Trim just needs a good clean
Original rubber mats
Ignition key is different for this German made Beetle
Pedals
Rego'ed till May Next year
Note the tan running boards, different to the Australian cars
Original engine runs and starts well, no smoke, does not use any oil
Lining is very good condition
Made in Germany!
A good rust free car
