WARNING
If you are going to buy this kombi and plan to drive big ks she will do it. Everthing works, she is no show pony but has been set up to drive and drive well. I have maintained her to a very high standard to alow me and my wife to travel safely. DO NOT expect to buy any Kombi at any price to give you fault free driving. I had no experience in mechanics or Kombis and have leart the hard way. Buy with the head not the heart (as we did). We have had the time of our lives and loved it all. Choose with care. They all need regualr service as you go unless you know what you are doing. You must have some road side assistance. RACQ cost us under $200 and has saved us thousands. No joke. Drive them slow and you will go anywhere in almost any temp. We were in 45oc+ and still were moving, lots of breaks tho.
We are asking $7000
e-mail me at (CONTACT DETAILS REMOVED : MESSAGE ARCHIVED) and I will send photos etc. All receipts available. Come see here when you want. Though not available till mid july.

This sounds like an awesome Kombi. I already have a Kombi and love it to bits but your right about maintaining it and buying a good one to start with. If I didn't already have one I would be sure to buy yours it sounds amazing. Shouldn't be hard to sell.

I am currently looking for a Kombi, preferbly in reasonable mechanical condition. Paint work is not a concern as I intend to repaint the outside.
