gobs Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
