[WTB - WA] Looking for a Kombi - preferably in the Perth Area
yellow box of doom - June 23rd, 2007 at 01:12 AM

I'm moving to Perth in August and looking for a Kombi!!

Would summarize what looking for as:

Must have:
Sound bodywork and shassy - as rust free as could reasonably be expected - but dents etc don't matter
mechanically sound - weekend runs and maybe a couple of times a week to work
Ideal fit out would be just the double bed in the back - although if completely open could throw a swag down
1600 engine or larger

Nice to have:
Camper or minibus - don't mind which but not Ute
Space to walk between seats in front to the back
Tidy paint job
Pop-top - but not a major factor

Not Important:
Flashy pimped up paint jobs or dropped suspension
Not too fussed that much about cooker, sink etc - would rather have the space for other stuff
Fancy stereos etc

I am pretty much looking for a simple understated little runner with her own character, has the space to carry a couple of mountain bikes or dive gear, a bed to sleep in overnight for weekend away trips and reliable enough to be able to drive to work if the mood took me. Also, as I know very little about car mechanic-ary restoring an old one myself wouldn't really be an option - I just don't have the skills.

Price Range - 5k ideal, 10k considered for something really good.
Preferably in the Perth Area, or at least within drivable distance from Perth.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking at?

I've been looking thru the local classifieds (Sunday Times Readers Mart) recently, just out of interest. Kombi ads (FS) have become quite a rarity I've noticed. You could try a Kombi WTB in the Readers Mart or Quokka.
