1989 Volkswagen Beetle 35 hp

Summary:

If cheap, buy one

Faults:

Transmission failure.

Minor repairs to the lights.

Heating: new insulation.

General Comments:

Excellent first car! You won't be tempted to do a suicide overtake with the small engine. But since most are quite old nowadays, quite a few repairs must be accounted for before buying one.

Bloody cold in the winter, even after new insulation for heating.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
