Hi together, I’m new here and I signed up because I fell in love with a car. It’s a red VW Karmann Ghia, who leaves me awake in bed at night. But let’s start from the beginning. I’ll be 24 years old soon, I’ve never been the owner of a car, let alone any screwdriver knowledge, have been driving the driver’s license for seven years and regularly drive my parents’ or friends’ cars because I don’t drink alcohol often back from the parties. After my studies I will start my first job and even if I have learned to appreciate the public transport as a student, driving the bus without a student ticket loses my attractiveness. In addition, I would need a bus 40 min and a car 10 min to work. So I looked around for my first own car. I quickly realized that a golf, Corsa and other solid small cars would probably be the most sensible and safe choice as first cars. However, my taste has a If these cars are not met and with car radio, air conditioning or other frills you can not lure me either. Then I looked for something extraordinary. Why not a classic car? Many were not at all in my price range, but then this beautiful red Karmann Ghia came and for four days I think of nothing else. (EZ: 12/1972; 130 TKM; HU/AU: 04/2015 Of course such a classic car also has disadvantages, especially if you don’t make a piece of it with cars. That’s why I have some questions I hope to get answered here: 1. Can you retrofit an airbag into the ghia and with what costs you have to reckon with? 2. How suitable for everyday use is such a classic car? I want to drive to work with it, as I said, but am not the type that rips off hundreds of kilometers every weekend. 3. How vulnerable is the car in winter, with regard to rust etc.? 4. What do I have to calculate for repairs? How expensive are spare parts and there are the noc h? Of course, you may also like to miss out on other things that I may not have taken into account. I am happy about any helpful comment. Thank you very much.
