Hi Aaron,
It all depends on condition and location. In California I paid $3500
for 3 Bug-i's and a Square Body. Out of four cars two of the Bug-i's
were rebuild able. So I would say it would be worth the drive to check
it out. Of Course this depends on how much snow is on the road too.
Last time I drove up I-95, I got caught in one of them White outs. By
the time I was half way around the Boston Bypass there was 6 inches on
the road.
Now you know why this ol' californian lives in the sun belt. If'n I
want to see the snow, I will look up on the mountain. There it is. I
even drive up through there in the Jeep once and a while.
Good luck, I hope the cars are worth the asking price.
Rick
