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.

This one may be what you are after?...looks tidy from the conservative pics

Cheers!

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

hah! you saw through me :P
I was really just looking for an excuse to swap my current car for one I've always wanted
- A Kombi of course!

you can have this for $1,500 as is it has a reco 1600 in it though only good for cruisin at 80 -90 kph or i can finish it off

Rat it!

By davids Kombi for 1500 bucks and spend the other 4 and a half grand on dropping it in the weeds and buying phat rims!

hmm... tempting.. although i'm not sure how much time I'll have to work on it until a little later, so I think I'd prefer a pretty complete one

you pay and i will have it registered in a week

hmm.. I have to wait till my exams are done before I can sell my current car
i'll talk to my dad about it, and if you've still got it in two weeks time I might come up.

thanks heaps for the offer, but don't hang out for me because I still have to wait a few weeks before I can start inspecting any. sorry about all this

it was staff accommodation at my backpackers
it has seen a lot of action in the last few years with out even being on the road

ergh... make sure you wipe down the back seats then :P

heh.. i'm sure it's a part of most kombi's lives at one point or other:P

make it a part of yours for $1200
