IMHO.
In 2006, after 30 to 40 years of daily use, any car would be a pos. A huge issue today with early beetles is the quality of parts on the market. Unless you want to spend big $$$, almost all of the parts are made in Brazil, Mexico, and China. After a while, the car isn't a real beetle, it is indeed a pos because of the pos parts used to restore the car. A good German beetle, made before 1971, is a joy to drive.
