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.
