I always assumed 'not tested' meant 'tested but not working'.

Yeah, maybe, except for that pesky "...but look to be in great condition."

What the ad really says;

"I bought this van thinking I could do this, but once I had the van in my possession and started really looking into the job I realized what a monster project it is. But YOU can DO it, you've GOT this, just some weekends is all."

Wow, that's pretty crusty. Might be the first Vanagon to actually snap in two.

Good idea for a new thread: "What Vanagon For Sale Ads REALLY Mean."

It's nice but I feel like for that price I would need to see a few more better quality pictures.

I dunno, toss in some of that sweet TP collection and we might have a deal...

I was just going to post this Tristar myself. Is this the same or another that’s been up a few times in the last 10 years?

I’m not doubting uniqueness & collectibility of a brand new Doka, but for 188k, it would be helpful to have detailed photos, clean and not used as a storage rack!

If it’s a mistake and $18k, then that is a great deal and this is in the wrong thread!

I dunno why but this smells like a scam.... if not, the price is :roll:

There was the same one for sale a while back with similar low mileage ( 25 I recall)

I don't care if it is the only Tri-Star left, in my opinion it isn't worth that price...

ok, so really it's in "VERY good" condition???

I think they may have added an extra zero...
is that the California tax? just tack an extra 0 on the end.
