I was in germany for 3 years and got my Notch from there.. You right!! but try to get spare parts from any store..900DM ($400.00 with a good mark rate) for ONE front fender, used!, 240 DM for a stock muffler (got it from the states at a price of $145.00, shipping included. and it was made IN GERMANY! I do not understand. Went to a VW Dealer and there was no knowledge of the kind of car i had.."never heard of it" was their favorite phrase and "get those parts from the US". Junk Yards?.there is no junk yards in germany..but a store like that you tell them what you need and they go back there and get you an use part that you do not know where it come from.Some about not too much space available ($$ the more space you have and environmental regulations) How much you pay for a clutch in Germany? or a stock carburetor? or even some windshield wipers. that Bettlejuice want 49 DM!!! just because they were NOS...hmmmmm. Maybe that is why they are so cheap..because the parts are kind of expensive and hard to find... nothing against nobody but i brought the issue to my german landlord and he smile and said " are they crazy or what??" By the way, my landlord will do almost anything there is to do, because like he always says " it cost to much to have somebody to do it" other than that...Damn i miss Germany! > Gosh, $7000 for at Type 3??!!!!!! > I donīt mean to spoil the buisness but here in Germany I doubt that > somebody would pay more than 8000 DM ($4000) for a Type 3 unless > maybe it is in "better than new" condition. > Normal daily drivers are around 2000 - 3000 DM ($1000 - 1500). > If some of you folks are gonna come over, it might be worth buying > a car and shipping it over to the US (especially Notches). > Heiko > 68 Notch, 70 Fast, 71 Fast
