I just had a 74 Bug I'm thinking of buying checked out. The mechanic says it needs: back up light repair $32 brake pedal sticking $72 muffler $160 engine seal $40 alternator belt $22 shift coupler/bushing $100 He says the compression checks out at 135, 150, 130, 110. The owner is asking $1650. The body is in decent shape (it was a Floridian before moving to Michigan last year). Should I go for it? What's a fair offer? My '76 Westy wants some company in the driveway! Thanks, Tam woodrut@aa.wl.com
