Its back. Ok so help me here, Its not a desired model, deluxe, DC, Westy. It has hacked wheel wells, likely a hacked suspension to make it all hillbilly V8-ified. It no longer can carry 9-8-5 passengers. And for all this you get to pay $75k. I mean seriously, how does that work? Look, post for $15k and beg the one guy who calls to take it for $10k.

And the kayaks add some aerodynamics to overcome the tug of the huge side scoop.

Bus aside, I really don't know what possesses a guy (or gal) to wake up and say to themselves, "You know, today I'm gonna list my turd boiler on the largest VW forums site in the world and although the largest collection of bus experts in the world will see it, I'll use all kinds of fancy lingo and shenanigans to pull the wool over the schmucks."

I would expect it with someone who joined yesterday. I would think that a 4 year member would be a bit more savvy.

The person might as well have joined yesterday. No posts since joining, and this is the only ad posted. I don't even know who this would appeal to - someone who wants a single cab without the convenience of the load bed?

They don't care what we say or think, they are just trying to find someone with a equally questionable taste coupled with loads of extra money to spend on said turd. You got to admire their optimism.

Well, as we always say, "there's an ass for every seat." But evidently harder to come by at that absurd price point. |
