New Boy no longer looking for a Bay.........

[bermuda blue]

Just checked, I started looking July '09
Sold my Karmann Ghia
In September revised my budget up to £10K
Travelled 100's miles, no good
then thought I'd cracked it locally -but no
Set myself an end date (31/12/09) -all over :?
Can'tr afford a really decent Bay and.........
Missing my air-cooled fix so now spending just 40%
of my budget on a '68 / 1500 fully made-over Beetle :shock:

But luv this site so will keep reading , all the best -JIM.

glad you finally got on Jim, sorry about the hassles and not finding a decent bay, we have alot of trustworthy traders who are also longtime members a call to any of them probably could have got you something really decent for that kind of money.

Surprised you couldnt find something nice for around 10k.
Ok you wont get a mint westy for that but theres some nice busses including US imports around for that kind of money.

Thanks chap's ,
My downfall was RHD (for her indoors), it seriously narrows the field,
and "budget" to me means total spend - not you can get a good one for £10K
and then spend £5K on it.................. :msn4:

Test drive and negotiation on the Beetle tomorrow so don't want to go
public yet , but will post pic in due course - if I can fathom how :? , it's
well nice (understated in Lotus White but 2 x 40mm chrome pipes 8) .

Cheers -JIM.
