Hold on... Firing up my TI-241 calculator.. Result: $10K overpriced.
What caught my eye:
The driver's front door panel looks super nice. |
the door handle on the driver's door being oriented properly easily adds $10K to the value. |
Adjustments will be made to the TI-241 formula |
since you won't always know if the door handles are oriented correctly you would need to come up with some sort of variable that takes in consideration the probability of door handles ever being put on correctly

I think he already wines about that one when it was on here a few months ago for 12.5k with a different seller. IDK why one would think that if it couldn't sell for that and you added seat covers, the wrong middle seat and disk front brakes the pice would go up 10k  |

I guess the hawaii state laws governing reconstructed vehicles hit his million dollar retirement idea of running an airport shuttle with a vintage vw in the ass.

Well, apparently they add over $6000 to the worth of a '60 panel....
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1669440
The sad thing is that most people seem to look at a split bus these days as a way to make a quick buck rather than something they could get running, drive the crap out of, and enjoy.

This is one of the big problems with the internet. Anybody can google 1960 vw bus and then they see a bunch of ads for overpriced busses and think their stuff is worth more then it is..Result: $3,000 doller busses for $9,000 that sit on the samba forever.  |

Priced too high? Yes
Will it sell? Yes
Semaphores are pretty cool. It's anyone's market these days.
Dick move pricing it higher here though. |

It has been for sale for at least 6 weeks now here and on CL.
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1664501
The current price is $14,000 on TS and $13,500/best on CL. Per the seller it starts, stops, runs well and is currently registered. It has cut wheel wells, the wrong tail lights and a groovy 1990s paint job. Per the seller it has rust pinholes in the bed and treasure chest and there are a couple of patched areas on the front floor. There is "some" rust on the lower nose and around at least one gate hinge. The paint is "OK" and "not a show car".
I am looking for a SC to use primarily as a truck. At 61 (and having just had heart surgery) I am not up to a big restoration project. The cut wells and big rear tires actually take me back to an earlier era when these things were the norm. Vehicle wise this will probably be my last fling. I go up to see it next week.
Considering that the SC is in SoCal and it has not sold in all this time the price is clearly over the market. And as everyone knows the split market has clearly gone nuts lately. I am thinking $10,500 with just a bit of room to bend on the upside.
Opinions?

I would wait a couple weeks and see if a better looking truck comes up. For $10k I would expect something a little more stock, a little less ugly. The paint, the wheel wells, the wheels... I would have to fix all that before I let my friends see me drive it. And that would cost $k more. Now if I could get it for $3k I could laugh it all off,but for 10k (or god forbid 14k) no way.

seems like a pretty straight truck.... some people like the jersey looker wheel wells. If you can enjoy it as is, get it for under 10
if you need it original, you will need to spend some money, do the math, subtract what it will cost to make it right from the 10k you are ready to spend, and get it for that.
wipers seem to not be working
tail lights
interior panels
wheel well repair
wheels that fit stock wheel wells
some paint

i intend and plan to sell The Metal Surgeon LLC when i retire.I would definitely hope its doing 'Great' and 'Making' lots of money with healthy client list so its actually an attractive business to sell.
Im sure your next question is why i wouldn't keep it and put someone in to run the daily grind.My answer is ill be ready by then to step back and maybe do something for myself. |
There was a fantastic write up some time ago from a guy who owned one of these and why they will never be profitable

I know that the $8500 shorty single cab was posted in here, but I can't find a listing. I have a 65 micro I am selling/trading, it's not good deal worthy, but I think it's fairly priced....anywho, single cab owner texts me offering his hackjob for my bus plus $4500 from me, pointing out that his truck had just been on My Classic Car, which I guess is a TV show? Dunno, I don't watch TV...
I had a really hard time not being an asshole and politely declined.

It's an often silly (IMO) car show that 'shows' a LOT of cars of all types, so being on it isn't necessarily a big deal. Obviously, he'd rather have a NON-shorty.
That goofy, deluxed-out DC was on Chasing Classic Cars, AND it sold high on the show...didn't make it less dumb (again, IMO  ). |

I heard that this disaster bus ended up selling for $65k. Apparently to someone who doesn't know very much about busses...

| Agreed. I personally think that it is just the weird look of big rims and the taller hight. |
