Aircooled VW South Africa

So this guy who bought my fasty is now selling it for double what he paid and magically restored it in two weeks, while overlooking the gear syncros
and it has become a variant

Have a look at his previous ads, certainly no stranger to wheeling and dealing on Gumtree ...............

He could at least know what he's selling....

Everybody go to his AD and offer anytning between R10k and R14k.

I'm gonna offer him R12k

I made an offer of 10k

This the reply I received
Quote Lmao...
Okay I sell u the all the bolts from the car at that price
U have a deal
Eft asap... Unquote

I'm sure he's attracting a lot of potential buyers with that ad, bit of a yahoo. Was he like that in person ? Must be very successful.......

Here is my mail to him with an offer of R14k

Looking at the pictures, I see the following.

Front suspension very low, steering wheel / hooter is upside down and the dashboard is cracked. Also does'nt look to have a motor. Plus you say gearbox is faulty. Not seen many of these around so one would have to import parts. I'll offer you R14k.

Thanks

And his answer

Haha:) You have a funny sense of humour...
When u serious u and know your cars better esp from pics,u can get back to me

Thats why I call it SkelmTree.... that place has many crooks !

The guy seemed really into the car and the whole idea of the AC's
I showed him a few pics of what I wanted it to look like and he asked me to send it to him.

He had a quick look at the car and gave me the money. He was driving the bmw that's on one of his
other adds(one with the mags). So I thought this guy will probably get everything redone.

The biggest problem for most on this car when viewing was the amount of oil it dripped.
The other thing was the body not lining up below the doors

The upside down hooter doesn't even work. Good thing I didn't give him the bentley manual with it,
also kept the spots,jack and wheel spanner.

Splitz, first dibs on the manual and spots when you decide to part with them.

From his replies he seems a real right pearler of a chap.

So this guy tells me about his love for classic cars and how he will give me whatever to feel at ease then pay the car off.
Good l say, will do a lay-buy. Me will keep both money and car. It's safe parked here by my house. Has been parking here for 2 yrs

On its way to somewhere...

Who took that pic?????
