Not a whine. This car has a very unique feature that I have never seen in an ACVW.

"VW Cox 1966 Driving School Price: 22000
Hello,

I am selling this 1966 beetle with the driving school option.

it has a double steering wheel, pedals, rear-view mirror. Everything is of course functional, the right steering wheel can be removed for "basic" driving. Ideal for long journeys you can replace yourself without stopping , driving is possible on both sides.

The engine is 1200 at 6v, it runs well, a little standard maintenance would possibly be expected.

The brakes are new, the tires are original so not 100% at the top.

The interior is clean but in its original state (no major damage such as tears or other)

Body level there is no perforating corrosion, an exterior refresh would be to be seen according to your wishes.

The vehicle has been stored since 2008, no MOT and foreign paper.

Price to be discussed in front of the vehicle only

contact by telephone preferably.

I remain available for any questions."

Where do people get their prices? I’ve noticed here and other places that people are putting ridiculous prices on their cars. I get it, they can ask whatever they want, but these are prices that I’m pretty sure nobody on the planet would pay. Here’s a perfect example….

Nice car… but not $22k worth. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2663446

Apparently there’s a trend for overly priced cars. Here’s another example of a horribly restored car for way more than you could even get for a properly restored one…

I'm seeing a reproduction bumper in the back, better check for other damage. I see a front hood that appears to have a newer finish and some missing fender beading, better check for other damage. I see a cheap dull respray that got much of the rubber, check everywhere for rust and damage. I see basic aftermarket seat covers, not uncommon for a 60+ year old car but look it over carefully -- is it really only 30 years in service? There are no engine or trunk shots, no undercarriage shots, no detail photos of any kind. It might be worth something, but $22k for a small window that needs a restoration is more than I would pay.
