It was one of the best deals I ever made on a vehicle. It was a great vehicle for the price. I ran it for 4 years without any problems whatever, then traded off. I don't think I could get a comparable vehicle now for $12,000.00.

Buy 74 you had to pay $2400 for a new bug. The supers were even more expensive. Here in Oklahoma if your spending that kind of money on an good old air cooled bug it better be car show quality! The west cost has a much higher markup on their VW's though. What part of the country are we talking about Sunil? On 9/14/05, Kaleb C.
