Hi all,
After months of searching for an original squareback in or very close RWC for around 5 grand, i finally put a deposit on one on the weekend - very excited my first VW. Still needs a bit of work inside but body and motor good.
I was very happy until I saw this one, which is exactly what I was looking for and just up the road!!!

Still happy with the one I got but have I missed out on something special?
Please someone tell me this is a rust bucket underneath.

Mate, that looks like a pretty tidy car. Well done.
I know but that's not the one I got - I think it might be better than the one I got though 🙁.

It is always the way. Soon as you get something another one pops up even better!
WOW....that looks real clean!!!
Should have bought that one!!....
.....er, I mean,...that is pile of rust right there, glad you got a good one before falling for that rattle trap 😂😂😂

Don't want to look at it just in case its too good - can't afford both of them.
The one I put the deposit on was completely restored about five years ago, everything taken apart, all rust repaired and everything repainted inside and out (I have photos- but not sure how to post yet). So there should not be any hidden rust. The guy I bought it off is going to respray the outside for me as well - so that sealed the deal on Monday.

Don't stress mate. ur best bet is to self hypnotise some ignorance towards the other car and focus on what you got. Which doesn't sound bad either. Particularly if its recently been restored and your getting a fresh respray with your deal. How could ya go wrong. good work man 👍

Squareback already sold, any one on here picked it up?
would;nt be suprised if you see that car back again at double the money
dont think it will surface again for sale
Did you buy it?? Was it as good as it looked?
'71 Square
Never said that I did buy it. Just guessing that would be the case tis all.
Going by your 'avatar' looks like you might have got a bargain - good one. Show us some picks - share the love.
If your interested this is the one that I got.
