Cabrio Beetle

Post by eddyr »

I went to a car auction yesterday. They had a real nice clean original 1974 Left hand drive Cabrio beetle.

Real nice condition, so i thought about getting it. Knowing that a similar beetle was bought for 75k just a while a go by 1 of our members so it was a nice guideline...

WTF: I did clearly not know what I was talking about as 1 of our other air-cooled members that was also there told me that the CAB is worth the price it went for.....

R145 000 ????
