    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    A seller can ask whatever they like on Donedeal but we never find out the actual sale price! The sale price is almost never higher than the asking price so you can understand starting high and leaving some wiggle room. However... There's still a preconception that Beetles are cheap cars. Bad...

    you're right Noah, it's JZM652, one of the original 300. I'd only seen one photo of it in the past so it's nice to see some more.

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    It's a curious one. There's so much "correct" about it but then the chassis number isn't anywhere near the 300 Irish 1300S's. The chassis number it has refers to a Kasan Red 1200 from May 1973. It's got the heated rear screen, it's got the riveted plate on the front apron but the engine looks...

    They're very variable with what they are willing to accept. I had to argue with them about insuring a 37 year old 1.1 mk1 Golf but they accepted a 19 year old 225bhp Audi TT last year without question. Pick up the phone and get one of them to check while you wait.

    Yeah it used to live in Stradbally, near me. The fella that owned it bought my mk1 Derby from me a few years before he got the ragtop Jetta. He's since gotten into retro Japanese 4wds. Last seen driving an early 90s Pajero.
