New T5 owner, nearly!

Hi,

I'm just about to purchase a VW T5 for conversion to a custom surfbus, this will be the second one I've done, the first was back in the UK...

Thanks
Alex

Welcome Alex.
what does the conversion entail?

Are you coming to the SE QLD Xmas meet?

Hi team_v,

I'm currently looking at a 2004 T5, 210,000km, 1.9TDI, Red, SWB advertised at $9550. Does this sound like a good price for Australia? Anything I should be concerned about with high mileage like that? Its been serviced regularly and had the second timing belt changed.

Below is a link to my previous conversion, i was gutted to sell it....

I may well come to the xmas meet, assuming a find a van soonish! Any advice for websites to look at for one?

Thanks
Alex

Interesting conversion.
best bet would be www.carsales.com.au and www.carpoint.com.au
www.discountusedcars.com.au also has some good deals on it.

I don't have a diesel so i can't comment on the one you are looking at.
Maybe post in teh diesel section to see if they have any input.
From memory everyone liked the 1.9TDI.

Hopefully you have a van in time for the meet.
