and we are on this old road somewhere between campbellsville and columbia, when we pass this little car dealer in the middle of no where....and low and behold there is a mint condition 1969 volkswagen beetle sitting out from with the for sale writing on it.
we get out and check it out, but the dealer was closed....so we head up the road to where we are heading and write the # down
we give a call today and ask how much it is, and he says it is $2800 but he will let it go for $2000, which if anyone knows about this car you will know that a mint one is worth about $7000
we go down to check it out this afternoon and it has no rust, and some interior work that needs done that won't cost more than $400 to get it restored to original shape...engine has been recently redone, so that is nice....only a small piece of rust on the doorjam that isn't more than 1/8th inch high...
the guy walks up and informs us that he is heading to a car auction, and taking it with him, and if we are considering to get it to let him know so he can keep it there and we can come down tomorrow to make the decision...
well, long story short, we are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby bug.......born on Sept 19th, 1969
Sticker Price on lot: $2800
estimated worth at time of purchase: $3900
price of purchase: $2000
can I haggle or what?
and yes, I have had 3 bugs before and know what the fuck I am doing when I am looking at them.
pics coming soon....
