I found my '66 on the internet and flew out to buy it, ended up not being all the guy said it was and bought it for half of what he wanted for it. I bought my '69 by e-mail pics and phone calls and the car was a little less then the person described. I don't think I would buy another car this way unless it was such a great deal (and not very pricey) or someone I trusted took a look at it first. There are very few VW's up here in the midwest to choose from. Jim James Wallace wrote: > Interesting. It is really scary actually thinking about buying a car without seeing it in person. I don't think I can do it. Is there anyone on the list that has purchased via email, phone, and pics?
