On Feb-04-11 at 05:05:47 PST, seller added the following information: As you can see, a reserve is set. Waiting out the auction will not make that go away or lower. It will allow more bidder/buyer competition in the next 6.5 days (good for me, bad for serious-see this car for it's value buyer). If the reserve is met, I may consider ending the auction for a qualified/no nonsense/knows what that they want it bidder. I will not devulge reserve, but previous viewers have an idea; new bidders with correct value perception can guestimate it is market value for an immediate use condition/classic relm/step above the rest A/C in place working option/nice new $800+wide white wall tires. And, other pluses. 904-260-6529; Howard On Feb-05-11 at 14:55:59 PST, seller added the following information: Note the other VW's for $10k. Maybe they have better front seats, but not much else. I do have a 1962 (in background garage picture). You can have it for the $4000, about what is bid on this the 1977 (62 Beetle- perfect running; new master cylinder/brakes; rust free accept for square battery sit area; still all original, 6V; still has old carper/rubber mats/heat duct controls/radio/seats/nothing altered). Needs top, buff or paint, tires, replace original seat covers (or not); original door and interior quarter panels are still usable. All lights, horn, emergency brake work. Forget the top, buy a boot and never drive in rain. Just flippen the budget options at ya. If you don't ever need A/C, you don't need the 1977. On Feb-07-11 at 06:42:05 PST, seller added the following information: Doesn't have to red for Valentines. Red seat covers would do if your wife, girlfriend, daughter or your Valentine's spending is not restricted. Great present, easy handling, COOL summer, top down or top up. This car will never be less than what you pay for it (if you keep it garaged/cared for). Prices average between $7k and $15k in this condition (yes, even these days). You can own this between that range. If you like another color, don't buy this. If you like heat reflecting white, cool in the night, cruise to the show, buy this. If they don't show the floor pans from underside and some from under carpet, don't buy it! On Feb-07-11 at 11:27:00 PST, seller added the following information: With the purchase, a set of exact pattern (square weave cream white) comes with it. This does not include the cost of labor installation. Covers complete front and back seats. Or, a cash allowance $200) will be made if the buyer prefers to get their own. On Feb-10-11 at 04:44:24 PST, seller added the following information: As mentioned earlier, Mid America VW sells parts and Vee Dub Parts Unlimited has some lower priced parts (Whatever VW you buy).
