    You wouldn't get anything remotely resembling a beetle for 550euro.

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    I have no idea at all, even though I have asked the question on many forums. Last I heard from the UK it was 23% customs duty plus vat plus possible NoX charges. But I have never been able to find a site to confirm this. What with the revenue charging , basically what ever they like, without...

    Nice looking car. But how would that fair out price wise by the time it got over here. Would the revenue get silly with the charges

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    I am in a similar position. But I have the logbook, bill of sale and the previous owners details. They cant find the vehicle on the system, and even with all the details I have they wont add the car to the system, unless the appropriate forms are filled out, in full, notarised by a notary...

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    Its doubtful that any records remain about the car, as its been so long off the system. My own variant has no remaining records and its a 67 .

    VW Convertible.

    Same one alright. I'm not sure there is any charming ability left in me now. Three plus years asking has me worn out.Its a pity that it will just rot away, and probably end up with Mr Scrappy, but hopefully not. They are not as expensive now to buy as they once were, but this one is proving to...

    VW Convertible.

    Just to let you know, I was talking to the owner who is not named detty, and the owner lives in Dublin. I also spoke to her brother at the same time as the owner on the same day. I suspect maybe we are talking about different cars. Tim

    True enough, but many of them owners believe they have a diamond in the rough, " and sure dem old beetles are worth loads of money, coz there rare enough old yokes" And they dont realise that once you get stuck into them old vdubs, you can find yourself with this under a decent looking wing...

    I know where you are coming from, and thats something you can absolutely do nothing about unfortunately. But she knows I am part of a vw club community, as well as I keep my own cars on the road if its a vw . I warned her a about the low ball merchants that would flip it , or break it for parts...

    VW Convertible.

    I told her that if i took it, i would make sure it would not end up a parts car. I think one or two other guys promised the same. Problem is she lives in Dublin and is hard to meet to thrash out some deal. It has a sentimental value to her and she is probably getting it hard to make a decision...

    Thats a question that was asked by me, and many others over at least 3 years for me, and more before me. But I could never get a straight answer from the owner, who promised on a few occasions to ring me. Thats why I'm posting it here. Hopefully someone will eventually get to save it. I dont...

    VW Convertible.

    Not sure where to put this, so I am dumping it here for the moment. This is a car I have been after for a few years, along with other interested parties according to the owner. So why is it still there then I ask myself. I have called numerous times over the last 3 years in an attempt to get...

    Miserable set of photos. I was interested at the first pic, then lost interest very quick.
