Hi all I'm new to this site so apologies if I make any mistakes but I'm after a T2 to take wife and kids on a few local camping trip but only have a budget of 8/10k although I obviously want a good chassis I'm a mechanic so can take on some smallish jobs so if any body has a honest bus feel free to message me.already viewed a couple of apparently solid buses but I done my checks to find that was untrue.thanks in advance
Wives? In others words a pop top would be suitable but if you have something for sale and I'm interested in I will come view and can increase budget for right van.cheers
Rickyrooo1 I'm in no rush so would you say they slightly drop price obviously coming into winter ect as if I have to look till then that's fine.have missed out on a couple of nice lhd vans although would prefer a rhd.
As said, you won't get a good one for such a low budget and this time of year there aren't many for sale as we are out camping in them. One or two others have joined here recently hoping to get a good one for a similar budget. Have you thought of hiring a T2 for a weekend and see if its what you really want. These vans are expensive and need constant attention, time and money to keep them going. Hiring for a few outings a year would be much cheaper than buying one and have it sit on the drive way for long periods not being used.
Thanks for the advice but like I say I'm looking to buy 1 and if the right 1 comes along for 15k+ I will pay that but just want to see what's out there.I own other classic cars as I'm a mechanic and restore classic cars so maintenance and the way they drive ect dosnt matter as I have owned and drove plenty of old stuff and now how they feel and need attention hence looking for 1 at the price I've mentioned so I can work on it and make my own.appreciate all the advice ect but just looking to see what's for sale and if I have to wait I will as in no rush.
maybe try looking a bit over the water ,I know they are lhd but better value imo and less rust... https://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/987865804.htm?ca=20_s it's early early...
Job lot here, if you get these for the right money and do some work you could end up with a bus for nowt! RHD too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Baywin...206069?hash=item25bf799475:g:ReIAAOSwbYZXeov3 Good luck with your search
