Ok.....several things to look for or ask...
1. Where are the doors?
2. Get under it and inspect for rust and rust repairs
3. Check the windshield...they don't really make them anymore and if its cracked you will have a hard time finding a replacement
4. Get under the dash...check the wiring. If it looks terrible then ask yourself if you are capable of rewiring it.
5. Can you register it in your state with no title?
6. Check the tires/brakes/steering/shifting
7. Check the engine for smoke, noises, oil leaks.
8. Check if the headlights operate correctly. The original design SUCKS and it takes some mechanical skills to correct them.
9. What is your mechanical ability? These need lots of work, often significant fabrication, and constant attention
10. You don;t plan on this as a daily driver do you?

It's basically a lightened VW Bug, why not daily drive it?
I just made a trip into enemy territory (Kalifornia) to pick up my Bradley.
Saw three older beetles being daily driven.
Two were clearly restored cars, the third had "Patina".
