Ok - What's a resonable price for a reliable, unrusted twin cab kombi ute. Split or Bay, Nothing special - base price for moving up and down from.

How often do they come up and any particular failings I should look for?

Thanks in advance for bothering.

there was another one on here as well or sale not long back

gotta love them

Not so sure on splitties. They will have a high price due to rarity.
Bay dual cab's will be slightly above the price of a Bay camper or bus, just because they are not as common.
You can start ~$1500 for a registered one I guess if your lucky, and cheaper again if your patient and happy with unregistered.
Rust free???? I don't think they exist!!!
Be prepared to pay well over $4000 for a good example though.
All bay's are good from 1600-2000 motors. Type 4 motors (1700-2000) will have a bit more power/torque if you plan to carry weight, but cost more to re-build if needed.
As with any old car check it out properly so you know what your in for.
Best of all enjoy coming over to the type 2 world

Oh, just so you know, depending on what you want to carry, a bus is very quickly converted from anything up to a 9 seater to an empty van with loads of room in the back making them very versatile also.

There is a restored dualcab splitty in Unique Cars for $25k

I have a pretty rust free 71 duall cab if ur interested?... has later front(high indicators) early (splitty style) taillights..rebuilt G/box,,,flipper?blu in color still needs work but not a bad truck.. I was going to finish but have jingle(single)cab now..was stored under old fellas house..& b4 that in a chook shed for 15 ?years or so... I ve had it for @least8 years now.. u do the sums! its been off the road for a while but I've had it going with a 1835cc motor..Like I said needs work but not heaps..(I forgot to mention,has been made into "walk thru"..) Thanxs G...open to offers?..) 0738811774 or 0416283636..Brizvegas.

Good - So there getting around then.
I'm in really no great hurry. Patience is the key. Yes I would like one now but I'd also like to win the lotto and neither is going to happen soon Unforunately. Yours sounds about right George, depending of course on the price. I've written your number down and will talk with the minister of finances and see what my equity total is at present. Slim probably since I'm rebuilding the Dog-O-War.

I am looking around the 1500 - 2500 mark for unregistered and running pref. Wouldn't say im in the market yet though. Just wanted to know if I had a chance. Type 2's do interest me and I may need one to run a business out of.
