Hi, I have been missing from this site for quite a while due to a variety of factors, including something called work.
I need some advice regarding my Beetle. It is an original 6 volt 1300 Deluxe. Has original NSW number plates, is in very very good condition. As aficionados say "unmolested"
I have just got a pink slip ready to re-register it in NSW.
However, I rarely use the car, and I am thinking of putting it on the market.
Question - do I advertise it with a pink slip OR spend the $750 odd, and offer with 12 months full registration?
If it sells interstate, I have done the registration money cold.
What do you think?
cheers

PS Thinking around $7K + rego

How about you offer it for sale with 12 months rego (once $1000 deposit taken) if a NSW person buys it or without rego if an interstate buyer takes it. Obviously price difference if sold with or without rego.

Cant lose this way, Kev.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Thanks for the opinions fellas. I will go ahead and register it. That way I can still have a run whenever I can.

I really don't want to sell it, but it is just not getting used enough.
cheers

Cant help myself, sorry. A car is really only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you have been watching Beetles the prices have gone up and I'm not saying I agree with them. But I have seen stock Beetles and only in good condition, not pristine asking $10,000. Personally I dont think they would get the 10K but thats what they are asking.

Also Pete, you being a man of the cloth should not attack others by putting them or their dreams down.

I could say that I find religious people are all arse holes and are blinded by their faith and only really care about themselves.

I'm not saying this about you and please forgive me as a good Christian should. My statement is in no way directed at you, as we have never even met. I'm just trying to make a point.
