Hey all, my name's Andy and I'm an Adelaide local. Don't currently have a VW of any description - but am in the market for a Beetle.
Not sure what I need to look for when purchasing a Beetle, (ie where the usual rust spots are, and all those other things we look for in a second hand car), so found this forum and hoped it might start by pointing me in the right direction, so I can make an informed purchase when I find that VW.
saw a great ones on carsales in Adelaide recently eg 8102987
1954 Beetle
2003 Beetle 2.0
2004 Turbo Beetle 1.8
2007 Touareg tdi (retired)
2009 Pajero Tdi Shorty (retired)
2011 FJ Crusier
1973 P76
Wish list:
Porsche 550
