Yea, in a rond-about way, sort of. If you watched the auction, you may have seen that the seller came in half way through and added something like-"I've been told by a VW expert that this car is worth about $6,000.00". When he added that "info" I just sort of stopped watching it because I expected the guy to yank the ad when he saw he wasn't going to get that much. A couple of days later my wife, of all people, asked why I didn't bid on the car and told me that it had sold for $3,000.00! I was sick because that was my limit and pretty much exactly the car I wanted. After about a month I noticed that no feedback had been left by either party. I tracked down the buyer and asked how the deal went. He said that he couldn't come up with the cash and he thought the guy still had the car. He had checked the car out and said it was well worth the money. He got me in touch with the seller and we made a deal. He was from Macon and we met in Atlanta. By the time we got together it was almost dark. I do know better but I fell in love with the little car as soon as I saw it on the trailer. I couldn't see the floors very well, ran out of gas test driving it in the ghetto and bought it anyway. What an idiot! The floors turned out to be much worse than expected but if I had known it I would have bought it anyway. It runs like a top and drives as good as any Beetle I've ever driven. I just wanted a decent looking driver and I'm really pleased with it. Heck, I even cleaned out my garage for it! Rick Swafford is planning to do my floors (and hopefully not heater channels) pretty soon. My family is looking forward to getting involved in some of the Folks events. Have you finished the front-end on yours? I check for pic's of it here daily.
