Not mine.

Safari windows and the roof lifts off.

What is it worth?

twoguns · 25 May 2005, 10:38 pm

a lot more than the 3k it is at, at the present. looks like a 1960 model.

57 Chook Shed · 25 May 2005, 11:10 pm

That 23 (27!!) gotta be worth $15K+ as it stands.
Be keeping my eye on this one.

VWENVY · 26 May 2005, 11:52 am

As this thread is so unusually quiet - id hazard a guess this bus will surface here or dsk at some stage!

okrasa power · 26 May 2005, 11:55 am

He only wanted $2000 and someone else was brokering the deal on Ebay, When he saw how much it went to he got upset and told the guy he was not selling it anymore

Oh well:o

VolksFolks · 26 May 2005, 12:02 pm

haha, why would he do that...

it was sold to a guy in NSW for 10k cash, only to stop the deal on ebay, sad day when it surfaces, will have a few enemies!

VWENVY · 26 May 2005, 12:11 pm

All is fair in love and war!!
😉

handycam · 26 May 2005, 12:31 pm

thay are still out there :P

okrasa power · 26 May 2005, 12:38 pm

For $10,000 that's cheap

I would have bid passed that.

We can't win them all, Well done to the person who bought it

Mikki

Calcool · 26 May 2005, 2:55 pm

Well it may be upsetting on the way it was purchased but it gives us all hope that we dream of the ultimate find one day.

By the looks of the photos on ebay it was in Suburia too, so you don't have to travel to the back of nowhere to find them.

Can't wait to see it finished!

Keep the dream alive!

Cheers Calcool

Calcool · 26 May 2005, 2:59 pm

Sorry for the Typo I meant Suburbia.

Samblers · 26 May 2005, 10:09 pm

kombi_mad · 27 May 2005, 10:57 am

VolksFolks · 27 May 2005, 12:23 pm

a guy who was on here last year or so, upset a few ppl..

byronbus · 27 May 2005, 1:37 pm

U2u me please andy...

preacherman · 27 May 2005, 3:22 pm

OK guys
I thought i would put this right before it gets any worse re accusations etc.

I bought the 23 window. You guys will know from my previous post when I actually put in a wanted ad for a 23 window. I got to alot of dead ends and the trail got really cold ...again!!

I rang George yesterday morning AFTER he decided to take it off ebay. I told him the truth as to how I had been searching for one of these for years and made him an off which was certainly way over what he was expecting. George was on his way to get it taken off ebay as he had wanted to sell the vehicles separately in the first place. The guy that put it on ebay got abusive and that got george upset.

1. I did not get George to take it off ebay.

2. This splitty will not leave these shores during my life but will remain a loved and valued vehicle by me and my family.

3. I am sorry if any of you guys are upset at mising out but I was not underhanded but was there at the right time. Surely many of you have been in this situation before.

I will post pics of the 23 when it gets here early next week. Thanks you to those of you that have said nice things about this. I appreciate the help some of you ave me on my search.

Andy I am pleased to say that i am "not the guy that exports splitties to the UK"!!!

Thanks again

VWENVY · 27 May 2005, 3:25 pm

Good job!!! Great to hear!!

i dont think you'll get many disagree!!

ClassicVW(pacific) · 27 May 2005, 4:50 pm

Good work, you did nothing that anyone else wouldn't have done in your shoes.
Fully deserved, I know you rang me a few times on your search, I am pleased you have finally found one.
Good luck with it, everything comes to he who waits !!

Cheers
Roy

Dyno · 27 May 2005, 5:25 pm

The guy's name is ROBERT WALLIS- exports cars to UK, Englishman, mainly interested in buses.

65busser · 27 May 2005, 5:34 pm

You are blessed Preacherman. Congrats.

greenbus · 27 May 2005, 5:35 pm

Well done Preacherman, shows that determination does work.
Wish you the best the your new love.:thumb

p.s. In the latest Volksworld there is a new guy advertising as Aussie Pete's
vw imports - "quality outback buses at sensible prices....tell us what you're
looking for - we'll find it!"
Maybe he knows something we don't? I don't think so....

57kombi · 27 May 2005, 5:41 pm

Dyno, WTF

Who cares, he didnt buy it, if you read above we already know who bought it so why post that????

Cheers
Dave

greenbus · 27 May 2005, 5:58 pm

Just as a point of interest - no need to get nasty!:duh If you read the first part of my post I am acknowledging the person who bought it.
Apology accepted.

preacherman · 27 May 2005, 8:00 pm

Hi Guys

Just want to thank you guys for your well wishes...32 years is a long time to wait but it is worth it. I hope all you guys realise your dream vehicle...even tho it may need a complete resto.

I just spoke to George and normally I would not repeat things someone tells me but I have to say something here. Someone from Melbourne is ringing George and is trying to get him to break the deal that was struck with me and is offering to come and collect it etc. I have given George a substantial deposit already and George is a man of integrity. This guy from melbourne is throwing money George's way.

All I an say is that this is really nasty and i will name the person if he does not stop this action as well as take it up with solicitors. I just can't believe they guy is doing this and I have no doubt YOU are reading these words.

I will have no hesitation is taking this matter further as well as naming you so that the Forum members can deal with YOU and let YOU know what they think of you!!

This is really a nasty effort on this guys part. I can believe that until a vehicle is sold then you haggle but once it is sold then you do not try to undermine another enthusiasts deal.

I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL BE AS OUTRAGED ABOUT THIS AS I AM. Please please don't do this and let it go.

Thanks again to all of you for your well wishes....if I drank I would buy you a beer...how about a cold coke!!

This should be a really happy time for me but I am really upset at the actions of this person.

Lets see if I understand this!

These VW's were at auction, you just happen to mention to the seller, you had a spare 10k or whatever the price was.

Now, before anyone else could bid and maybe win the auction, it was cancelled and a deal was struck..

but your having a problem with ppl also trying to offer the seller cash money for these VW....

Welcome to the real world...mate. It must be bliss living in your mind.

ps: whats the bastards name in Melbourne? how dare he try and buy these vw's...

Kombi_Rescue · 27 May 2005, 9:38 pm

dont feel alone preacherman about a month i shook on a deal plus a deposit only to be told someone else has bought it for more! i felt quite pissed off..was on the way down with a trailer to pick it up...go figure..hope it works out for the best. cheers DSK steve

preacherman · 27 May 2005, 10:53 pm

Clearly Phat Rat you do not understand it. As I said the seller was going to take it off ebay because in the first place he had wanted to list the 3 vehicles separately and others were only interested in the beetles!

I spoke to him and offered to buy the vehicle. I did not ask him not to list it. He accepted my offer in principle. . He waited till it was off ebay before accepting the offer and only the did I send him a deposit.

I am sorry you cannot see the wrong in trying to stop someone to go ahead with a deal already agreed on. That may be OK with you but not with me

You make me laugh....once a deposit is paid it is the same a a contract. I know this as I've been to court due to the same thing happening to me. I paid a deposit for a car and it was sold from under me.I ended up with the car, the other person got their money back and the "seller" paid costs. I'd hate to live in your "mind" What would you think if the seller decided to pull it from auction and keep it? It's his car he can do what he wants with it. He decided to sell it,a deal was struck and a deposit paid.Good on him.:thumb

Mick, I know it's hard for you but, try and see the big picture.

Then and only then would your comments make sense.

I'm sure what ever preacherman is preaching, down there, it will help the spuds grow.

[Edited on 28/5/2005 by phat rat]

preacherman · 27 May 2005, 11:47 pm

Phat Rat these comments are just a product of your bitternes at me not wanting to sell you the Triple Cab after you sent me a rude sms. I have never met you nor have I had any dealings with you prior to your request to me asking if I should sell you the Triple.

I do not want to get into a slanging match with you. I feel that the majority of peoplethat have responded to my comments have been positive. If you choose not to be so...well so be it. But there is a reason I believe for your response.

What i preach is forgiveness and i have no hard feelings towards you...how about letting this go now mate.

frog · 28 May 2005, 12:15 am

If it has the dash missing,is this a lefthand drive with the doors on the wrong side but it has 2 sets of tail lights as aussie 60-61 did,or a previous owner was doing a major custom job?

karmannghia60 · 28 May 2005, 7:59 am

PM, if you know the guy who is doing this, why don't you take it up with him directly Mate? Its best for all. Also if I have been waiting 32 years, I would fly to Vic, pay and grab the vehicle. Don't leave it any longer.
Congrats and good luck
Raf

ClassicVW(pacific) · 28 May 2005, 9:54 am

In my book a verbal agreement should be the end of it.
Good luck

crewcabconnection · 28 May 2005, 10:00 am

called the guy about it - got quite upperty about it. But then it happens, I bought a 74 Camper off eBay, with BUY NOW price and they still sold it elsewhere!. Check the user rating is my advice, zeros and sub 10 eBayers tend to not do the right thing if they feel they didn't get what they wanted.....

Hope the bus stays in Oz,

63Splitty · 28 May 2005, 1:00 pm

I think it was a good fair buy, the seller was going to advertise it separately, he could of said no and continued with a relist on ebay, but an agreement was reached just at the right time. Top buy preacherman!

Rather than seeking gratification of wishes, impulses and desires, there has to be at least some degree of letting go to create the space to see.....
