What would you buy for $30ks?
I picked up a copy of Unique cars, had two LHD KGs for $23k & $27k and a split for $17ks? I am just thinking if I am about to spend around $30k on
a car, would I really go for a vintage VW? When you consider the choices in this price range, there is a lot of good buys out there. So what would you
buy?

You often see beetle wrecks pretty much complete for around $300
Buy 100 of em and start a graveyard
Even better look for $100 wrecks and have 300 of them

So why did you buy a new beetle cabrio for twice the price of a KG when what you really want is a KG?
Me, I would finish the build of the SubaManx, finish the Raaf rat kombi, and put the rest towards a 356 for resto or a replica 356 speedster.

I reckon a 23 window would fit the bill but would probably need another 30 to fix it up

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

When I handed over my $50,000 to the lovely salesman I knew that it was the last I would have to spend. My car runs reallywell all the time. It has
the convienence of all the modern extras, HEATED leather seats, air con, full electrics, heated mirrors, automatic roof, CD player, airbags, roll over
protection etc etc ..... Could never hope to get all of that in a KG ! |
