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

the less rust the better.less bog the better,solid engine,good tranny.will save you heaps of time and money.
Unless of coarse you intend on doing a full restore.in that case,go for it.lol
Welcome and good luck.

Thanks wolfgang54, my intention is for a rat cruiser - so that one is WAY too good! lol
