Welcome! Drive one of those beetles here you will not leave with it! Someone will buy it!
The only thing is, well for one, the one I have I probably do not want to sell, but also I have heard that the U.S. does not allow changing the title over to a US title, maybe that depends on the state,
There are a lot of used VW s around here, or at least in the near by city, many are older ones,that have been nicely restored, others are newer, 95,96,..
Depending on many things, I could be interested or open to bringing one to somewhere in the U.S, and re-selling it, but I do not know if that is possible, how complicated it would be, etc,... so that is the purpose of this thread, to find out more,.. Also I have no clue as to what they (VW bettles) are worth, in the U.S., of course that too would depend on the condition, etc.
I do know, mine is a 1995, it is in pretty good condition, and I payed about $3,000 dollar, (28,000 pesos), There was another real nice one, but older 1978, but it looked like new, the seller wanted a little more, $3,500,..aprox,..then on the other end, I looked at one, it was not in very good shape, the interior needed a lot of work, and the paint was all worn away, but the motor was recently rebuilt,it did sound good, he only wanted $500, (6000 peso), I do not remember the year.
I did notice, when I went to Oklahoma with mine, I had a lot of people ask me if I wanted to sell it, and comment on it, no one ever made any real offer, but that probably was because I had said I was not interested in selling it.
Well any way, for now that is about it,... I have to go to work now, by trade, I am a stone carver, so I have to "break stones" in the quarry!,..I am not a car dealer,nor much of a mechanic, but I like VW, they are easy to maintain, usually reliable,and economic,...and at least here in Mexico, relatively inexpensive.
