[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 469866, member: 14679"] As with anything else mate, avoid a fresh paintjob, avoid shiny crap on the engine or any other signs of being messed about with. Check under the rear seat for not only rot but also a fair indication of the quality of the heater channels (either if they're genuine VW, klokkencrap or decent repro) and whether the bakelite tubes connecting the heater channels to the heater tubes coming from the engine are there (they're actually a pain in the ass to replace, have to raise the body off). Water in the cab is a shitter as you'd expect, front wheel well can be suspect... TBH they're not as bad as buses for rot IMO. Chassis number is under the back seat too as a legal check. Anything else, really, is maintenance anyway... [/QUOTE]
