I don't mean low low ball, just $3k instead of $3500 or $2200 or $2500 instead of $2700, you'll be wanting that extra money when you start fixing it up! The main thing is rust. Do you know the spots Bugs rust in? Also, accidents, look under the car, look the body over very carefully. You don't want to rip the car apart in front of the owner, but there are easy ways to see whether it's been in a front or rear ender often. He should have NO problem with you jacking up the car to look under. The first one is in much better LOOKING shape, but who knows if it's really in better body shape?
