Hello. New to site
Hello everyone, I'm Kevin. I was the owner of a 1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet but sold it many years ago. I currently own a 2010 VW Beetle and a 1970 Austin America. I've been considering buying another Cabriolet. I've been seeing more of them here in S. Cal and it has sparked my interest again. I'm trying to post a photo of mine, I hope I'm doing this correctly. Looks like I did it. This was in Pismo Beach.

Welcome, just don't get rabbit fever, that is buying one that is overpriced or full of issues prior to you getting it.

Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety.

Kamy has a great buyers guide on her site http://www.cabby-info.com/Files/BuyingACabriolet.pdf.
It's worth a read.

Hello,
Yes, I hope I don't get Rabbit Fever also! I like that. I have a friend who used to work on these cars at a VW Dealership so I'm hoping that he might be able to help me out. I can do simple things and I do know how to care for cars, but when it comes to the complicated stuff, it's a bit out of my league. I do some work on my Austin America.
I guess the biggest issue right now is checking for rust, correct? I'm assuming if I rebuild the engine/tranny then I can use it daily. Also, due to a knee problem I would need the automatic transmission.
Thanks for the feedback so far.
