Thanks for the info guys. Just my luck. The seller sent me an email saying he wasn't selling anymore. What's up with owners of 65 and 66 bugs over here? This guy was the third non-serious seller that I've encountered this month. The second one stood me up when he was supposed to show the car and the first guy whom I already made a deal with, I agreed to buy the car if he could deliver it and he said he would, but later on the day he sends me an SMS saying that I have to get it there. Some people just don't know how to keep their word anymore. Sadly they are bug owners too.... sigh...
