73 kombi for sale (poptop campmobile) 1600cc. NSW registration XBS516, rego until Jan 2005.
it`s my baby and i love it so, but it`s no good for commuting in the big city (Brisbane) so it`s got to go.
full history from when i first got it 3 years ago, and remembers everywhere it`s been round australia in it`s 2 years of travelling, comes with camping/cooking gear, some spares, tools, hand winch, light truck tyres, 2 spares, fuel containers etc etc. just had new battery and muffler, very tidy inside and out.
$3500 or reasonable offer.

hello again

presumably most people here already own dubs of some sort, so maybe not the best place to sell the kombi ?

so could anyone point me in the right direction ?
any help would really be appreciated as i`m about to move into the city and really need to sell the beastie.

ta.

What is the history of the motor? Does it have a fridge and stove?

Thanks

hey

i bought the kombi 3 years ago from a dealer in sydney with no history, had loads of work done on the engine, brakes, steering etc, then the main bearing had a fit near adelaide, so i had a complete rebuild done. it`s been regularly serviced and maintained while i travelled, and apart from a dead coil and one dead fuel pump, i never had any trouble in the 60,000km i drove it. i`ve done about 40,000 since the rebuild, and have kept every receipt and report for anything i had done to the engine and everything else. the engine has an oil leak like most veedubs, has never had a problem starting and has never let me down.
there is a 12v/240v/gas fridge which is old but works, although i`ve never tried it on 12v. there is also a gas double burner and a small sink.
hope this is useful.

hi
no i havent sold it yet, and have run into problems.
ive moved to brisbane, and the bloody thing failed the roadworthy when i tried to change the rego.
bloody oil leak, can u believe it lol.

anyway, i have another car and only 1 garage space, so im selling the kombi unregistered for the first reasonable offer i get. annoying thing is it passed safety inspections twice in nsw and once in nt, always with the same oil leak, ah well.

if anyones interested, please offer something, i wont be offended lol, hopefully theres someone out there who can repair/change the engine or whatever to get it registered, or just clean it up and blag through the inspection, whatever.

Here's a trick.. go to the car wash, wash down and degrease the bottom of the motor, and then drive it directly to a roadworthy tester..

"What oil leak?"

THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!

I've checked this this bus out before

at $750 it's the bargain of the decade! heaps of features, engine started first go,nice and solid! $750 is cheaper than a decent mountain bike

too bad I dont have space for a bus 🙁
somebody get it!
speeding is bad!
relax - god's in charge
