First, understand that these are not "real" cars. While you may be spending $30,000 plus, it doesn't buy you the same turn-the-key-and-forget-about-it experience as you get with a modern car of the same cost. As with any low-volume produced item there will be some minor (hopefully) problems in the beginning. And beyond.
With this in mind, find a local mechanic who specializes in vintage Volkswagens--which is, in a sense, what you own. Become his friend. You'll need him.

Gosh, I guess I shouldn't be spending real money on it.

Just kidding.

They are "real" cars. They are however not what they appear to be if they are wrapped in all the Porsche badging etc.

They are a different ownership experience though.
