No problem with flipping in general, but is that bus worth anywhere near the ask?

Interesting...
1/2 a refrigerator bus |
Interesting indeed, it appears to work on house current, maybe it was plugged in overnight at the warehouse and stayed cool enough once unplugged to last for the morning's deliveries?
Could be a neat thing for events with modern mobile refrigeration adapted into it. But weren't most of those insulated with spray foam?, I'll bet the rust is epic in places.

I was going to post this in the good deals but then I read the part about the being a 25 percent tax on all trucks imported into the USA. Wonder if this is a new trump tariff |

Could you at least back up and take the effin shipping container(s) out of your pictures...? I guess it's the transatlantic version of taking ad pictures of a trailered bus for sale hahaha.
The shipping container might be the dry storage (garage) when not in use that he mentions. |

It has a UK registration, so had a quick look on the DVLA website. It was registered here in 2006, so not straight off the trailer (or boat). With the carpet in the foreground of that container, I'd say that it is his 'driy storage'.
It's taxed as SORN, so it's probably not been used in a while.
£22K for a bullet indicator, pressed bumper bus is pretty good over here though.
I'm guessing it's an early '57 too, as it has a brake light engine lid.

Not quite the point I was making, though. I'm "whining" that these new-user ads are often impromptu pictures taken in these circumstances...try, please try sellers to make it look like you're advertising something to sell, not like it was newly discovered.
We have containers on our property for storage too, so I get that. I don't understand selling something half-assed rolled out of a storage unit. Again, a little effort could make the ad more marketable? I don't know. Enough time wasted on this one.

It would be so nice to ban "Offers" ads. It's like saying "I don't know how much I can milk out of someone, but certainly someone will overpay for this."
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2285438
Not sure how much is correct or not, but with only 3 pictures and no indication of how much is included, I'd have no idea how much to offer. I am sure that it wouldn't be as much as the seller is thinking. |
Do you think the seller found out that if you adjust the front door gaps to perfect, and THEN put the windows on, that the doors will settle and the gaps will be off?

Yea, something's rotten in the state of Denma...I mean Brazil. My family's owned at least three '62 DCs, and, with the exception of Euro '62 differences, there is certainly a red flag here. I say Brazilian special.
