TERMS AND CONDITIONS I can arrange shipping or you can arrange yourself or drive it home. Buyer pays all shipping charges. Please e-mail for shipping rates. Auction may be canceled at any time as car is also advertised locally. Terms are as follows: $500 down within 3 days after auction by Paypal or wire transfer. Balance due 10 days after auction end. Balance can be paid with Paypal, Bank Certified Cashiers Check, or wire transfer. Please note: Cashier's Checks can take over 30 days to clear and neither car or title will be transferred until the check clears. No personal checks. Please DO NOT bid unless you are serious about buying. I have tried to be thorough, but there is only so much you can write here so please ask any and all questions before bidding. Please understand it is a used car, over 30 years old, and as such will have various flaws and imperfections such as minor chips, scratches, etc. in the paint, body, trim, interior, etc. There are a couple of small scratches and chips that have been touched up, but very minor. The car runs well, but obviously I can't guarantee or warranty the condition of running gear, electrical, or other items. Expect the usual drips, etc. of an older car. Statements are that of the previous owner and we try to verify as much as possible, but obviously cannot guarantee the accuracy of statements made to us. I encourage inspections, but they must be done prior to the auction ending. The odometer reads 51K and the previous owner has stated it is original, however in Washington State all cars over 10 years old must be sold as 'Mileage Exempt' and that's how the title will read. If you have questions or concerns please E-mail or call 509-991-8360. You may have to leave a message as I'm not always by the phone. IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR ARE NEW TO EBAY PLEASE CALL ME BEFORE BIDDING OR BID WILL BE CANCELED. Vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty implied or intended. Thank you for looking. Washington State residents must pay sales tax on purchase price and title transfer and registration (usually about $75) also. WaDlr2162 It's a nice VW Microbus, very stock, not cut up or modified like so many, so you can feel confident in your bidding. Thank you for looking and best of luck with bidding. ...
