Newbie here ...

Hi!

I do not own a speedster replica but it is a dream to own one in the next couple months.

What is a realistic budget for a used speedster? What are the main things I need to look for in a good car?

Any advise you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Kira

PS. If you want to send me an email with super awesome advise instead of posting, please email me at ilovemovies9 AT gmail

welcome Kira.
I would first try and see if there is one of our members near you that might let you get in and out to see how it fits and feels.

This is our polite way of aksing where you from, country & state will do fer now.

Welcome to the madness Kira. The short answer to the question is mid-teens can buy a very nice driver. By all means, seek out an owner close to you and read the locked thread that appears at the top of this page related to what you need to know about these cars. They are great fun but they are not for everybody. That's why there are always numerous late model low mileage examples coming up for sale.
Good hunting.

There's a very nice looking miessen blue Vintage on Samba for somewhere in the teens. I believe it has 1600 miles on it.

Thanks! I live in Santa Monica, Ca. Please keep the advice coming :)

Kira, I live in Redondo Beach, I am available most of the weekend,
If you want to see mine, and I can give you some pointers...
right now I wouldn't spend more than 14K or so for a good used one...
there are a few around that you can negotiate for, and I can show you how to possibly work ebay to your benefit also...just let me know.

There are speedsters all around the L.A. basin. The idea is to look at every one you hear about and look for the 3 d's: Divorce, Death, or Duress.

Good luck - Michael

Kira, as we say hear ...Welcome to the Madness... LOL... I used tub is an awesome idea and I went that route to. I am STILL in love with my tub and I am sure you'll find one too. I am in the local area too and will send you a personal email as well. I actually looked for 18 months on this site before I pulled the trigger so I can tell you lots.. :-)

And P.S. Vince knows a ton of stuff about these little cars, but just don't stand too close to him during any meals...
