The auto makers are pushing 100,000 miles before tune ups, 7 to 10 year or 70,000 to 100,000 miles before outerbody rust thru, and things like that. Granted the prices of todays cars have sky rocketed out of normal peoples reaches, but they seem to be selling most of what they build. Todays car are being built to last, but in my opinion they have too much plastic in them,and the steel that is there is very thin. So I prefer my older type3s. : ) I like the fact that I can actually work on them without needing a lap top computer, and I get cool "retro styling" in the same package. : ) Bob 65 Notch S w/ Sunroof 71 Square- now a 2 seat Roadster, under construction.
