72 Westy

[Dal]

Well Im going to be selling Holly
After Vanfest she has now low compression on no1 and a knackered starter motor. Sadly I cant afford to get her repaired due to recently having our first baby and buying a bigger house and just havnt got any money left in the pot to get her fixed

Need a bit of advice on price with the engine in mind I'm not greedy it just needs to be an easy sale price
Shes a 72 Xover 5 birth with bunk, fly net and stool, Never been welded and like new underneath
Type 4 engine with twin dell 40's, filter king regulator, elctric pump and pertronix ignit II ignition, coil and 8 mm leads

Wow, what a lovely bus..... 8) 8)

don't sell her, you WILL regret it. A new starter motor is only about £80 and there must be someone on here that can help you out with the engine... :?: :?:

find some stuff in the house to sell on ebay, raise some funds!!

come on guys and girls, who out there has the know how to help a fellow early bayer in need?

:idea: :idea: :idea: inspiration needed......

I agree with Carole, but without knowing your situation I wouldn't want to criticise - are you really sure you want to lose your van?

If that's the way you go then I wish you luck with the sale... but you'll deffo get more for it if you fix it first!

 

[slammedkustom]

sell the baby! :shock:

no seriously if you need to sell it then beg steal or borrow the cash to get it done, thats a 10k+ bus up n running but more like 6k, 6.5k as is
good luck whatever you do, but remember a westy is about the best vehicle for a family, cheap holidays, room for sprogs n toys etc :wink:

Hi, Nice bus. Do you have a contact number as i could be interested in buying her.

Cheers for the replies guys.
I'm gutted but that's Life
I know very very worse case scenario its just a new engine £1000-£1500 (I'd would have gone for the £1500 Heritage) but all my money wrapped up in the house and needs finishing before the winter sets in as I have to think of the little one.
I will get one back hopefully next year or the next but the way prices are going I'd have to remortgage the house :roll:

Why can't the engine it has be repaired, what is wrong with it?

It more then likely can I was just saying that would be worse case scenario on cost, but the (hole in the wall) computer said no

 

[Dal]

Thanks for the texts and suggestions guys on the price and cost.

I agree and think £7500 sounds fair to me and the future buyer

 

[Dal]

Should have said if per chance you have a starter motor she will start and drive :wink:

 

[bayview]

Take ya pick from this lot of starter motors on ebay ...bound to be a good one or two amongst them.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/volkswagen-vw...ryZ27385QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Real nice van! Good luck with the sale.

Hi Craig

Who me?

 

[Dal]

Must be a shy one then cause you didn't ring us :lol:

 

[crags]

Thats because you posted your price before i called. TBH i thought that £7500 was a bit rich for a non runner 72 bay but thats just MY opinion.

Good luck with your sale

 

[Dal]

No worries Dude I guessed it wasnt for you when I saw your Need the cash thread.
As for the price I was just going on the average suggested price via messages and texts.
Anyway the good news is she will be running on a strong 2ltr with all the goodies off the 1700 fitted (fingers crossed) as from Tuesday

Will renew the Ad once engine in

 

[crags]

Ive got a loan all ready for the bus dude :wink:

It was the unexpected beetle purchase for the wife that has got me scrambling for a bit of extra cash.

Will the bus be the same price with the motor sorted and is the paint as good as it appears in the pics?

 

[Dal]

Yep the paint is perfect 8) as for the price I will be adding the cost of the engine, but wont be loads as it is a second hand engine.
