Pimp my Ride beetle up for sale
Here’s one more “Pimp My Ride†project vehicle that’s up for sale. Gus, a reader of Carscoop, discovered Lawanna’s VW Bug that aired on MTV’s Pimp My Ride Show episode 414, on the Los Angeles area Craiglist. The seller –we don’t know for sure if it’s Lawanna, is asking a mere $40,000. Not bad at all for a rustbucket on wheels that was half-way to the scrapyard before Xzibit took over.
The VW Beetle’s theme was “Hair Force One” due to the fact that Lawanna was a hair stylist who was about to enter the air force. Among other things that the GAS crew did, was to install a sink with shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the front, as well as waterproof speakers and an iPod nano. Inside the car features a high-power hair dryer that got air via a scoop on the car’s roof.

$40,000 for this beetle? Its like buying a huge computer on a beetle. This fully customized beetle is nothing but an eye candy because most of its parts are custom made and altered already. The real beauty of the VW Beetle is gone in this baby. Oh well if your the geeky and flashy type of person then this car is for you.

I have a blue beetle that my father helped me to buy about 6 years ago. It was somewhat modified by the previous owner. A year ago the beetle did the road from JHB to BFN with no problems, but has since started leaking oil and the gearbox needs an overhaul. I am trying to sell the beetle now because I moved to the Eastern Cape and the beetle can’t do that long a stretch any more. I am struggling to get a buyer for the beetle. People seem to think R10000.00 is too much. What do you think? Possible cash buyer out there?

hi there,
i’m interested in buying an old beetle, from R8 000 to R10 000.
Please call Tshepo @ 082 601 3734
May 30th, 2009 at 8:55 am
hi Tshepo
beetles are much more expensive now seeing that new car sales are stagnant with economic crisis – if u get one u will probable need to do lots of work on it, to get an average to acceptable job done is approximately R20000 excluding mechanical parts – these too seem to be running scarce- i have six carbs ready to run and a complete 1200 engine with a generator excl fly wheel i replaced it for a 1600 twin port using my 1200 carb – it is light on gas they are fun cars but expensive to maintain now parts u can get at a price

Black Beetle. 1969 1600 model has not much rust, the floor pan is in excellent condition.
the car is not running right now due to burnt out generator. was a day runner last year and i have just bought another and doing that one up. the beetle would be good for some one who is serious about beetles as this could be a awesome project as there is so little work to be done. pic`s can be supplied.
