That price, in today’s market and in the condition the bus is in, is really not out of line. Too bad he didn’t blow it apart and clean it before the flip. That poor baby is just screaming to be detailed to the max. Of course, the best thing that could happen is to sh!t-can the new safaris. Then build up an original set.
I can just imagine the Seller jumping to take his pride and joy for a spin the first time and exclaiming “Man, these safaris SUCK! I need to sell this POS!” I hope the new owner tosses all the Pep Boys jewelry (like that steering wheel!) and reinstalls the OG parts.
Next thing to get changed will be the radio ‘cuz he can’t hear his tunes over the wind noise. |

Agreed, and price doesn't seem too bad. I guess he's also pointing out that the speedo doesn't work as well.... |

How can this... https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2024896 ...by any stretch of the imagination be considered a condition "1 - excellent" bus?
Pffft!

Utterly insane, especially when it come with a crap cover and repop handles.
Isn't there some dude repopping the whole seat for less than half that price?

CA residents add 7.5% sales tax to total.
I wonder if any of that actually makes it to the Board of Equalization

Most, if not all of the sellers ads are well above market value.

Rather pay more money to Corey than pay some Random seller less money and never see the part or the money again...  but true |

The above statement is so true, it is IMO the 2 do think they have the Midus touch...all they have is stellar and worth a kings ransom....

It is such a rare seat, so rare that one pops up in build thread today... And I highly doubt he paid $8500 for it too.

And his gallery (badassratbus') is the perfect antidote to cite when someone says "there's no such thing as a Bus frame-off." |
