Karmann Beetle

Post by Bugging19 »

This price shocked me a bit. karmann beetle is definitely nice but can it fetch that price range locally. Also it's LHD, can you roadworthy and license a LHD in South Africa

If the vehicle is on the system, LHD is not a problem.

Neat bug, stupid price. I'm not certain it would fetch that even overseas.

If it sells at that price, I'm re-evaluating the worth of my fleet.

When I saw that ad, I almost replied with "hey, didn't you add an extra zero by mistake on your asking price???"

Unless that car belonged to a famous person or there is some historical significance to it, it is overpriced for sure. Similar cars like those, go for half that price at the top end of the international market.

It i was a 50's to 60's era Kabriolet, then its well in the ball park!
