66 Beetle - Sell as is or Re-register?
beelzebug - November 11th, 2009 at 03:21 PM

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

would think that it would be a better proposition to sell with reg would sell quicker

7k and you don't want to register it,if it is worth that surely it is worth doing a reg'n on it.:rolleyes:

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.

rego you then have more time if it doesnt sell straight away

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

have to be AWESOME to be worth $7k. I'd say more like $4-5k in good nic.

Pete, you obviously know the car better than I do.

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.
