I picked up a copy of Unique cars, had two LHD KGs for $23k & $27k and a split for $17ks? I am just thinking if I am about to spend around $30k on a car, would I really go for a vintage VW? When you consider the choices in this price range, there is a lot of good buys out there. So what would you buy?

Would most definatly buy a Karmann Ghia !!!!!
I would sell my soul for a cherry red KG convertable !
I spent my $30K+ on a new beetle cabrio, could give one of those a try !!!!!!!
no slow 63 ·
67, 68 or 69 big block Camaro.......Allthough a 600 hp EH sounds pretty good too! ....... So does a nice ghia, or a split window bug......
hmmmm, Who's giving out the $30.000 again??? I might need more than that.......

What about an A3 Turbo they are pocket rockets and luxury inside all in one and its German too:kiss

300zx twin turbo, $12,000 for an import
helbus ·
You often see beetle wrecks pretty much complete for around $300
Buy 100 of em and start a graveyard
Even better look for $100 wrecks and have 300 of them

i would use the 30k to further enhance one or several of my rides more. like bigger motors and running gear etc.
that or look at trying to get a 356.

So why did you buy a new beetle cabrio for twice the price of a KG when what you really want is a KG?
Me, I would finish the build of the SubaManx, finish the Raaf rat kombi, and put the rest towards a 356 for resto or a replica 356 speedster.
baybuscamperkid ·
hmm. finish the bus and then... either a 60s renault daulphine or early t3 square - lowered, disks all round, smoothed and with a 5spd renault box backing a 3.sumthin L subaru flat six.
nicko ·
I reckon a 23 window would fit the bill but would probably need another 30 to fix it up
BiX ·
well a nice german look for 30k or if i had more a M3 or 911, its no point buying an old 911.

When I handed over my $50,000 to the lovely salesman I knew that it was the last I would have to spend. My car runs reallywell all the time. It has the convienence of all the modern extras, HEATED leather seats, air con, full electrics, heated mirrors, automatic roof, CD player, airbags, roll over protection etc etc ..... Could never hope to get all of that in a KG !

Wouldnt mind a new boxter and stick a fat VW engine in it. Would need to find a few more of the magic envelopes containing $30K first.
Right now I'd settle for a new daihatsu charade. Anything new that doesnt have a daewoo badge on it really. I've been filling in job applications for a week now. Every time they ask me what I see myself doing in the future I always want to write "driving a company car" I dont care what the job is or what it pays. I just want a car that is updated every 12 months and I dont have to pay the maintenance for it.
