Help with purchasing 412 wagon
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 8:41 am
I have a lead on a 74 412 wagon with a parts car that was restored and used for VW shows. The tires are barely used and all the rubber in the windows has been replaced, etc, It is currently garaged. I want to use this as a daily driver and from what I have read a restored vehicle doesn't necessarily mean a daily driver. What questions should I ask? He is asking close to $3500 for it and that seems reasonable but I will not be able to immediately start work on the steering, etc. It is some distance from me so I will be in a situation where I will look at it and buy it if it meets expectations. What questions should I ask before I commit? What should I look for when I see it? Is it worth $3500 or should I haggle? Thanks in advance for your input.
