they're noisy, rattly, underpowered and not
nice to drive..

but they do have good points, they stopped
making them...

fixed up himself. You dont see manny about

Beetle show.

I want a pre-1973 one so it's tax exempt.

Hopefully get a decent insurance quote with
it being a classic car.

Anyone know what models to avoid?

Yep, my current one is being female at the
moment.

Think it needs a new gearbox and the
handbrake cable isn't releasing properly.

I'll probably get a different car early next
year. Just want to find out what's what when
it comes to Beetles before I jump in.

I think they're very stylish. Obviously get a
lot of drawbacks with a car that's nearly 40
years old but they have so much charm.

lol, I'll try not to. x

Need to get a vehicle check done first before
I buy one. Not taking any chances.

well, if you've never driven one of these i'd
suggest you do first, its world war two
technology and it shows..

now dont get me wrong, its german so it isn't
allowed to break down, but when compared with
driving a modern car its like driving a wheel
barrow full of stones..

if you do buy one you'll want at least the
1502 version or higher..
