Bad Points: Rust.Inner wings and footwells are the main places. spare wheel compartment from the inside can be a spot for some bugs if the seal is damaged or the lid doesn't close prober.
General comments: Volkswagen Beetle 1302S is a cheap runner and great fun. Big market for used and new parts,especially in Germany. If you join a club you get lots of tips how to maintain and tune your beetle, where to get cheap parts and much more.

Now I think any VW air-cooled engine driver will admit that with valve clearances set just right, and fresh oil, - they are a joy to behold.

(Don't waste money putting those covers over them, they don't work!).
Specifics on the 1302S - steering damper fails quite often, chrome tail pipes don't last long.
Braking system good, steering keen. Like Minors, ...- Read AWG's review (237 words and 1 comment)
