LukeandLeah,im with captainvw,whilst i agree with luftmeisters remarks re wrong bits and probable price,i would probably have put it somewhat differently EG i think your car is missing some of its original bits and pieces and the price we think is maybe around the 3 to 4 thousand dollar mark as it stands but anyone who bought your car could certainly track down these parts(this is the fun part) and return it to original OR just drive it as is if they were happy with it the way it stands at the moment,hope we may have been of some help to you, good luck with the sale

Sorry for the late reply everyone, just got back home from hospital after our baby arriving.

Thank you to all for the help and assistance regarding what our bug actually is. We've had offers ranging from $50 to $7500 so far.
At least now we know roughly what it's worth and can put a price on it to sell.

Any further info is greatly appreciated!!!

Even if it has got some late model parts anyone who thinks a solid rust free oval on its original pan, on the road registered with a good driveline, and new interior is worth less than $4k needs their head examined.
or an interest in modern Korean cars.

obviously worth what someone is willing to pay. you are not in an easy location and the car is far from standard so you may have trouble getting folk to look at it while others more original are around.

having said that you just never know. guessing if you have no offers in the first week or so then price is way to high. personally i would go with the 7.5k you say is already offered, thats seems like a very very good price.

best of luck.

p.s hold on to it !
