Kombi wanted
Hi all, new to VeeDubbers.
I'm going to sell my daily driver because it's just too thirsty:
I've always wanted a Kombi, and would really appreciate anyone pointing me in the direction of a fairly complete (i.e. no major repairs/faults) Kombi
for around $3000-$6000.
I'm in Melbourne at the moment and will put my car up for sale in about two weeks, and will start looking then.
All help much appreciated.
//Marty

I wouldn't expect a kombi to use much less fuel than your current vehicle.

Sorry what I mean is, if that is your main reason for getting a kombi, it is not a significant one. The fact a kombi is sooooooo cool is a very good
reason. Cheers
