January 15, 200917 yr Hi jeztennis, No offence, but I'm in doubt with your quotations... 40/50 KB with "good engine and floorpan", IMHO forget it! Meaning forget "good" A "good" Beetle for 100 KB in BKK! Wow, nice! I own a pretty '67 VW Beetle here in Chiang Mai, and know a liitle the "beetle things" here: a "not so bad one" you have to consider 150 KB... A "really good" one it's rather 200 KB and more... Ok maybe it depends what you are meaning with "good one"... Try a search on thaisecondhand.com, many beetles for sale... However good luck for your search, Gobs
January 18, 200917 yr Agree with everything Gobs said.. A rotting hulk would probably be dragged away for 40 - 60 here on phuket.. I tried to find a friend one, and turned up a few in the 120 - 150k range but none clean and restored, more than just a donor vehicle but not tidy enough as a daily driver at the 120 end.. The guy I was looking for broke down and spent a mid 200 rice for a tidy one.
