Although we don't see eye to eye on many things, that bus is sweeet!

It was a sweeter deal a few weeks, but the seller probably realized he can get more cash/serious inquiries listing it on the samba than locally.

People compare what known information they have. This bus was listed locally for $30K Cad and that is a 'good deal' IMO because compared to any other 15 listed (including the samba), it's in better original condition.

There's people asking $20K for rusty, non-running 15's so $30K is a 'good deal'. Someone local didn't buy it/ad was pulled.

Now it's on the samba for $38K USD (~ +12% Cad) and it's probably still a good deal for someone compared to what else is available.

The Bus above will sell no problem.

The price is good and I would not be surprised if money or a deposit is already on its way.

IDK, maybe I'm missing something? I liked this bus when it was originally listed, but I forget if the price has come down over the last eleven months. Sure seems worthy of a 'good deal' in comparison to the asking prices of a lot of the panels in the classifieds. Frankly, I'm really surprised it hasn't sold...a touch-up on the logos and some finish work in the interior and I'd roll this thing to hell and back...

Pretty sure that bus has come down a couple thousand bucks since first being listed. Cool bus for sure. I'd say it hasn't sold because pics show it needs lots of work. Work =$$$$. Rust repair, overall paint or blending or whatever, plus logo refresh...it all adds up quick. I see it as a tricky project.

That Vitacrete bus is well worth it, plus it's for sale by a verified good dude, instead of some unknown.

That said, it is a very tricky project. It for sure needs the right person to own it, either to leave it alone, or to freshen it while maintaining it's awesomeness.

$8900 for a running/driving bus on the east coat with what appears to be a nice respray?

Sure the front floors weren't done perfectly but given today's pricing seems more than fair

This looks like a good deal if:

- custom interior is not too custom
- it's a real westy and the old interior is still available.

Sucks to hear his situation.

What do you guys think?

What is a good deal on a Brazilian? It's still a 15w.... Factory made. This looks clean. Opinions?

for somebody in the UK, who can look at it in person to make sure it is what it presents to be, this might work if they like it the way it sits. negotiate a little on the price.

if you can't look at it, and need to have it shipped to the US, and you don't like the interior, seems like you should be able to find one local, maybe not cheaper, but at least you can see what you buy

If this is real, it is a good deal for someone in Europe. The seller is a brand new user. It is a 21 window slider.
