If you want a decent bug and dont want to do alot of work right off the bat start looking in the 4k and up range. A 2k bug will need alot of work to make a good driver and look decent.Take someone with you when you look at it. Alot of people will sale you a cheap bug but there wil definetly be a reason why it was cheap. Your going to end up spending 6k or more before you know it. Keep in mind the cost to keep it in shape and more important the cost to get it in shape to start with.
I bought a nice solid bug for under 4k then I spent another 4k before I really called it reliable. :lol: And be sure to know you wont ever get what you paid or put into it back. Unless it's ultra rare to start with and then it's already pricey. :wink:
If its been sitting figure on all new brakes and lines just to start.Then tires and fuel related items,how good is the motor? You'll find out!I've seen a few folks buy real cheap bugs recently and get about half way towards getting them going to figure out they should have bought a nicer one to start. Dont follow my example,I'll buy any VW thats old and crusty,but I like to build them as a hobby,you may not.
Dont get me wrong you can find a ok bug for 2k but these days it almost cost that to rebuild a motor and thats sumthin to think about.
