Shouldn't last long. Why anyone would want to make this bus a 23 is beyond me.

Looks like a pretty solid pressed bumper DD for $12K...More pics would be nice.

looks better than average and it is a running bus, as in a complete bus.

I think this is the same so23 that was for sale on here about a year ago. it was advertised for 15k and it was in tollhouse a small mountain community above fresno. the ad was up for along time and nobody was biting. My guess is this seller bought it and is flipping it now. A friend of mine called him a day ago and he stated he had an offer of 23k |

As I towed this bus home for my friend I cannot imagine it sitting for 15k last year. 90 plus percent OG Westy factory paint mango with the complete interior, tent, sloped rack, bread box with no cranks, toilet seat etc for $15k? Plus very little rust, just seems odd. Oh well, it is a nice bus, has some issue but I am not sure the new owner will post anything here. Good thing I did not buy it, I would restore it!!! Ha ha |

Looks like the same one.. mango so 23 with one door replaced and it was only about 20 miles from where it was advertised this time. I could be mistaken but it seems like it. I remember the pictures in the ad were not that good and it really didnt show all the extras. I would have gone and checked it out myself but I already have 3 subhatch westys...61 mango, 59 light grey and 58 palm green sand green.. didn't need the temptation to add to the hoard |

When that ad first popped up yesterday I think the asking price was $11k and then it was increased to $15k and today I see it jumped up to $25k.
