Yes, the PO told me it was an ambulance. I paid around that for the bus ($2K). It is indeed in South America, but well, I live here too!  |

| The shipping alone form the east coast to the west coast or vice versa will runs at least $900.00 bucks, let's not even get into overseas shipping and customs. If anyone finds a barndoor for 2K let me know, I will buy it sight unseen. |

Neither. For example, there is probably $2000 worth of parts on any complete Barndoor. Front end, rear end, brake parts, speedo, pedals, some body metal, ...
What was your actual question? |
The price just seems really really low to me. So I could buy a non-running but "complete" barndoor bus for 2K? I'll take one!  |
Having it be worth $2000 and buying it for $2000 are 2 different things.

There are always a few for sale here on the Samba. I passed one up for $200 a couple weeks ago in SF.
And when barns go for $2K complete I'll take 10 rusted to the moon!!

| That bus is in Argentina, I talk to the guy who sold it to the current owner, the buses down here in South America need a lot of work, they have been worked haaaaaaard, also remember the shipping costs((about $2,000) and customs brokering in the U.S. ($500.00), how much is a bus like this worth???it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. |
