Fossil - January 14th, 2005 at 03:24 PM

Just been on http://www.carsales.com.au  and seen that fatso the Kombi is still listed but the price is now $4,000 - lol :-)
If the write up is so good then why the massive reduction in $$

Ive seen it and 4000 is gettig close to what it is worth

i recall a forum member travelling interstate to have a look at it and was quite disapointed with the description given in the add and what reality was....

i have paid to much for a bus before then spent all of my savings fixing it up a week later on new engine box prob etc only to sell it for $200 less than what i originally paid. that was a learning experiencenn[ Edited on 18-9-2005 by t2 ]

in the add it says motor and gearbox damaged,,thats y the drop...make your own mind up....


Fossil - January 17th, 2005 at 05:02 PM

if the motor and box are damaged then I expect a bit of thrashing has gone on.
Greedy51 used to own it so he should know what the $$ was before this and the other add ons.


ColumBUS - January 17th, 2005 at 08:07 PM

it was posted for a lot because it was worth a lot. the kid that owns it now is much like me, a mechanical retard. only he tried to do stupid things like play with the supercharger.
thats why the engines damaged.
other than that the car would be a brilliant project. paint, interior, rust all done well. pity it was sold to a dingus with a toolshed :blush


Fossil - January 19th, 2005 at 03:19 PM

right Kikko - tools in the hand of a tool and the supercharger is a bitch to play with and best left to some one can paly with it


VWFREAK - January 19th, 2005 at 03:22 PM

I'll give him 6 pack of cascade light and maybe half a pack of whinnie blues.lol.

Some kids have no respect for cars, thats a real shame. I remeber seeing this car a while back and it wasn't too bad. Sound like she had a real hard life since the first sale.


ColumBUS - January 19th, 2005 at 05:03 PM

yeah the first bloke greedy sold it to thrashed it... i saw him drive it and he didnt deserve that car.

to think it was once worth 10 000, now only 4.


wacked1 - January 19th, 2005 at 05:03 PM

i spoke to the guy, he says motor and box is rooted, hardly starts.
cheers


ColumBUS - January 19th, 2005 at 07:01 PM

yeah, hardly starts n doesnt drive

seriously the fatso shell is still a pearler, besides gearbox and engine, the car is brilliant.

that was me. It was rooted. Nothing like what was described. Can't trust people.

i spoke to greedy today and he said the motor was sweet and reiable ,drove to the great ocean road towing and all and was perfect? so im confused


ColumBUS - September 21st, 2005 at 05:18 PM

greedy owned it two owners ago, then it was good. since then two teenagers have owned it, played with it, and basically stuffed it.

it is now being rebuilt by a new owner.


76camper - September 21st, 2005 at 05:57 PM
