Buying a Beetle - BobbyG
SWMBO is about to embark on a 3 year nursing course. I have promised her that once she completes it and gets a job, she can buy a Beetle as she has always wanted one.

Yes I know there are better cars etc but when she says she wants a real Beetle to go with the 30 model ones she has, you will kind of get the picture that it is not up for discussion!

I am thinking that in 3 years time she will probably be looking at affording a 3 year old Beetle, ie one that is new just now. So I have obtained the current Beetle brochure (to keep for 3 years), and have checked HJ's review but is there any further advice from people on Beetles that I could keep until the purchase time comes? Any backroomers got one?

Also would this be the most patient, organised, thorough purchase of a car ever?? Three years researching! I could probably oder and receive a Morgan in that time!

Buying a Beetle - GRowlette
BobbyG I got no Beetle (Lynx n Virago only) but that's a lovely idea. Woman to woman I mean. She's a lucky one, me also. Take care, Growlette.
