The wheels must be $6300. Get out the wallet, John.

That's just a 2 tone bus just like VDubTech's crusty bus Sly not a Champagne Edition. Champagne Editions were only made in '77&'78.

Yeah, I saw that one yesterday as well. Looks really nice on the outside, too bad it didn't show pics of the inside. Pretty bus.

This bus has factory air,Duell carbs, new tires and has been garaged all the time.Seats seven and the rear seat folds down for storage or sleeping. The paint job is like no other one anywhere.Please don't waste my time if you don't have intentions to buy a classic NOW.

If I had to guess, english is not this individual's native tongue. I think we'd all admit we want a "clean piece".

Marketing isn't his strong suit either.

Quoting yourself is the first sign of insanity.

That said, do you mean to suggest Yoda is selling this bus?

Here's a transcript of the emails I've been exchanging with the $7300 bus guy... Glad he knows it...

I think you put an extra zero in your ad....

Kidding aside, that bus is worth no more that $2k in the Oregon VW market. I know there is always wiggle room with a vehicle price, but start lower if you want it to ever be sold.

But who knows, they say there is a sucker born every minute, maybe one will see your ad.

---

Oh I know. I'm just frustrated and am casting far and wide for those suckers... uh, I mean investors.

Knew I'd get a note from someone, thankfully it wasn't from an asshole as I'd expected.

Cheers.

---

And here I was expecting an "FU" if I got a reply. Looks like we were both wrong :)

Good luck with the sale. Is the price a "I hate to part with it but I gotta" thing?

---
The price is a "This is another mess I've gotten myself into, but I can't be the only idiot on the planet and maybe I can recoup some of my losses..." thing...

Cheers.

He has done a lot to it, but he needs to advertise beyond that area, say the rust hungry East. I think Evilbay is his friend.
