Hey everyone, i was wondering how hard it would be to open up a buggy shop persay to build and sell buggys. Is it a good time in the economy for them?

Hard to build them and sell them and make any profit for the time spent from what I hear.

Heck Ya.... I would love to have a Buggy Shop in GA.... If you check Craigslist, you will see there are a lot of buggies for sale and they do not seem to be selling.

Hey,can you hand me those zip ties and that roll of duct tape?!

do a little of it all build buggies sale parts and restore bugs and other vw vehicles from the time and you should do well but just building and selling buggies i dont see much money in it if any cause you will have to sell them for alot to make any money with what you would have in one

The guy that b uilds all the KY SS buggies does it on the side I believe. Might be a good extra income second job but we just dont spend the money for a full time job. But being able to buy turnkey with a warrenty is a big reason guys are buying RZR's and such, so who knows. The sand guys do it with the big V8 buggies @ $100,000

Even in a good economy it's not the best business to be in on the east cost. Out west now thats a different story.

I agree I would much rather have a buggy. But if you could make a buggy that can be financed at the same price range of the SxS's you might have a shot. The warrenty issue will be the hardest part. I know I will be hated but I would us WC in anything but a SS for this reason.

No thats understandable i agree, if i was to make a financable one id get a popular 2 seater and a popular one seater to start make it a base model for both then give people the option to "build your own"

I think a turn key Ecotec or Subi setup would sell. Adapter, harness, ECU, fuel pump and maybe a radiator and fan option all ready to go. Or maybe even all that stuff and you provide your own engine? Just brain-storming.

It happens, ussually when they have a bad swap to WC. Havnt heard of any wanting to do it once they went WC and it worked right. But sometimes you buy a bad motor from the junkyard you know.
