You won't find better for the price,
and I have a nice middle seat to make it an 8 seater:thumb


type82e - September 5th, 2006 at 01:28 PM

ive been eyeing that one, its great price too, I could catch a $99 flight to sydney?
I would prefer a bay window though will see what else comes up.
what sort of mileage does the auto get?

You get 6-ish km/L round the city and a 9ish km/L on a run

I live about 5 km out of city centre and she only does to soccer, parks, parents etc etc runs most of the time.

Then we go on holidays to Gold Coast / Vic / western NSW and she has a great run then

has a subaru 2 litre turbo.
does around 14l/100km city cycle.

Yep, Like chalk and cheese, and the T3 is much bigger, and don't rust like the Bay's do. But every one want a Bay cause they like what they loolk like!!:P

Alas yes, I have been seen through! :lol:


type82e - September 6th, 2006 at 08:31 PM

my wife really likes the look of the bays she s not too fussed on the square kombi's
value for money though because theyre not as popular as bays will have to work on that

i owned the bay first and loved it BUT there is no comparison in ride and breaks or comfort bthe t3 rules all the way


Iwish4aSynchro - September 8th, 2006 at 03:48 PM

Pics as needed yes i am trying to flood the site and convert any bay owners to the nexr generation. Do you think it will work?


kombi kountry - September 8th, 2006 at 08:05 PM

i was converted.

always thought my first would be a bay, still liked the T3's but always wanted a bay.

but when it came to make the purchase the T3's looks had grown on me plus all the other practical things as well like price, age, condition etc.

also i always wanted to do a subie conversion and knew it would be easier in a T3.

Have a look on the brickyard at all the nice T3's....it's hard not to like them.

vwtyp2 - September 18th, 2006 at 04:57 PM

Still for sale.
you don't get seats like these in a Bay


type82e - September 18th, 2006 at 08:32 PM

yeah t3's make more sense they're newer, cheaper, more comfortable etc but i'd still prefer a bay

byronbus - September 18th, 2006 at 10:58 PM

vwtype2 how much have you got on the t3?


byronbus - September 18th, 2006 at 11:04 PM

No worries found it...


jeremy - September 20th, 2006 at 01:34 PM

I am thinking of selling my 8 seater bay. Its a 1977 2L twin carby. Original paint and interior with mags and an overall very clean and original bus. It is my daily driver so is well sorted and runs well.

I was going to put it up for sale in about a months time as I have a trip planned to Coffs Harbour.

I was wanting to get around $5000.

Email jeremyandsarah@dodo.com.au for pictures or questions.

I also have (agian soon for sale) a 1974 kombi. 1800 Dirves well. I am wanting to sell it with RWC but have to fix some problems etc - $1600

I am in Toowoomba QLD
