I think this dealer actually does need someone to laugh in his face and tell him a few home truths. Then maybe the price will drop. It will be a pity
to see this baby sitting in some dealers showroom then getting taken out every lunchtime to pick up the mechanics lunch orders.

No idea... w00t w00t w00t! If I find a VW Beetle covered under Warranty (3 or 4 years) My folks might let me buy it! Yeah!!!
Now I just need to find a dealership beetle with 3 years warranty.. yipe.
Do any dealerships offer warranty on such old cars/allow you to purchase a warranty?

Those Beetles in the lot belong to Volkspower 03 9808 6777. They will be selling from that lot in the near future.

yep thats it all right... they definately did a good job with grafting the oval window in as well as dash... not that I'd really be able to tell I
haven't seen many ovals up close.....the sales guy did advertise it as a '56 oval ...
kippadee I'd contact volkspower about those dubs then ... I'm pretty sure they'd arrange with you to get a short warranty on them ...

The black 60s Bug Reg "Vuidub", saw the actual car at Volkspower, pretty cool, the interior is like Louis Vuitton Monogram. lol
I took a photo from my phone, see if I can upload it here...
Yeah I think I saw that 30K bug in the Mags, in VW Performance Centre Ad...
but common, 30K I rather build my very own Custom "dream" ride with anything I like in it, I'm sure after spending 30Ks, you won't wana drop in a
cent into that car, and it looses the whole purpose of owning a VW, keep adding new stuff in

Volkspower is selling a fair few bugs, but all over $7k... Do they negotiate or just sell for ridiculous prices as a rule?

You have bad info there Kippa Dee, the cars start from 4.5k with a RWC, 12 months reg and a warranty. The ones over 7k are worth that.

4.5k is a good price for a straight bug with a good motor
