Ebay does not recognize European VIN #, but actual VIN is : WV2ZZZ24ZDH064622 - I just turned in all paperwork for Georgia plates and title, should be with me before the end of the auction. I still possess European title/ registration, and title is guaranteed to buyer (but may take 30 days to arrive) If you are looking for even more power, I have VW 1Z and AHU engines here, complete, which would be an easy/ perfect swap for this truck (not that it needs it) - If you are interested in the more powerful engine, call me to discuss options.

And be sure to email me before bidding with your contact information (phone number) - otherwise, I will have to cancel your bid and block you from bidding again. Sorry, but vehicle ads are expensive an time consuming, and people with less than 10 feedback rarely follow through with a vehicle sale. In fact, they have not read this far into my ad yet, so I do not know why I am even typing this. THANK YOU FOR READING ALL THAT, NOW ONTO THE VW FOR SALE! I recently imported this VW Transporter truck, to sell, I guess. I wanted it for myself, but I think a Doka may be a better fit for me. This Volkswagen shows 82,100 KM on the odometer, I was told it is original, but more likely 182,100 , which is still only 112,800 miles! Has a much newer AAZ 1.9L turbo diesel engine, which starts on the button, immediately, with no smoke or trouble. Transmission shifts nicely, there are no leaks/ etc. Feels tight while driving, not all loose and wandering on the road. Undercarriage looks great, with no rust anywhere. The only place I can detect there has ever been rust are the little steps you step over when getting into the truck, they have been replaced with little steel panels. Drop-side truck bed is an original Westfalia-made item, and it is HUGE. All 3 sides can drop down independently of each other. Bed floor and sides are made of plywood panels, and it looks like it would be easy to cut new panels from the pattern using the old panels, paint them up, and re-fit and this truck would then look great. Bed measures 76" x 112". I drove this truck yesterday about 70 miles in 100 degree + weather, without much trouble at all - Truck is fast to 90-100 KM/H or so (50-62 - ish) and would likely go faster, but I did not want to push it. IT did not overheat at all, but did get hot when I had to sit in very heavy traffic, at a standstill, for about 15 minutes waiting to get through a busy intersection. In short, I think it runs great, shifts great, but will never be super-fast for extended freeway travel.. Would be a great around-town truck and a great hauler, gets a lot of attention and thumbs-up from people! COSMETICALLY, truck is very straight, and exceptionally solid. Tracks straight. Treasure chest under truck bed is spotless, zero rust. Truck chassis has no rust. suspension tight. Blue paint very nice - But as you can see, paint is very faded/ falling off Westfalia made drop-side truck bed. Truck bed floor and sides are made out of plywood, and could benefit from being replaced and repainted, would make a world of difference to this truck. Brake pedal goes further to the floor before brakes grab/ lock, which was concerning for a few miles to me, but then I got used to it and now I think it may be normal for a Vanagon T3 of this vintage? I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere, right now, the way it is, but if I was traveling cross-country I would want to give myself a little extra time, figure on averaging 55-60MPH. This truck is for sale locally for $9000 --- If you want to buy it, call me at 912-414-8993. If you want to wait until the end of the auction to see where things go, be my guest, but I am not selling this truck for less than 9000, and I doubt it will make it to the and of the auction as I usually end auction early for buyer who calls to discuss/ offer/ deal 'live' with me. If you see ad end early, and you email me to ask if truck is still for sale, you will likely not get a reply. Sorry. If you are serious about buying this truck, call me. Remember , by bidding or calling to buy, you agree to $500 Paypal deposit, and balance to be paid by any other certified method (cash, wire transfer, bank deposit) within 5 days, maximum time. I can help you arrange transport, if necessary. If you want to come and inspect in person, great!, but you need to do this BEFORE BIDDING. If you bid and win, thank you! But you are bidding to pay me, not to think about if you want truck or not later. I can store for free for up to 30 days for you, but again, truck must be paid for within 5 days of auctions end. Thank you again if you suffered my entire ad…. I hope to hear from you, thanks again, and check my other auction for Tdi engine conversion kits, Land Rover Defender 90/110s, as well as my VW Doka Tdi 5-speed. Over and Out ----
