Planning To Buy Your Dream Volkswagen Bay Window Bus!
Posted by admin on 30th November 2011
So you are planning to buy your dream Volkswagen Bay Window Camper but you don’t know where to start! Well, hopefully I can point you in the right direction with our guide to buying a bus.
First of all you must ask yourself why you want one, are you buying from the head or the heart! Put simply if you want something to go on trips with, that is reliable and cheap to run then you are probably reading the wrong article. Although a well maintained VW Camper or bus can be reliable they are not cheap to run. What you must understand is that these vehicles are between 25 and 50 years old (or thereabouts), and have lived long and interesting lives. They require care and attention and for that reason they will not suit someone who wants the perfect ride.
Volkswagon Campers and the author suggested that you shouldn’t consider buying one if your reason was because you thought they where cool. Well I have to say, why else would you buy one? It’s certainly not for their reliability or fuel efficiency. The reasons why I love Volkswagen Campers so much are the fact that they are cool looking, classic shape, practical to a certain degree and I love the whole culture of owning one.
Anyway back to the matter at hand! Buying a Volkswagen Bus needn’t be a nightmare as long as your head does the buying instead of your heart. I must admit that’s easier said than done. It’s all too easy to turn up see what could be your new bus, rust and all and decide there and then, even before you have looked around it that you want it and you are going to buy it. When you look around a VW bus, try to add up in your head how much all those little repairs are going to cost. Bottoms of the doors are gone! 100 quid each, one rear corner gone! 250 quid. It all adds up and you will quickly reach thousands of pounds. OK, it’s difficult to find a perfect one and most will require some work and of course you might be looking for a project to work on your spare time, but nevertheless it’s not worth paying 4-6 grand on something that is going to require another 2 or 3 spent on it. Only buy a project if it’s a good deal and you can see that it will be worth considerably more once it’s done. There is no point in throwing money away after all.
Bottoms of the cab doors, this is not a reason not to buy a bus but factor in at least

I am planning on buying the BMW for $6900, but the tail lights are broken. Is that a good price? It has 160,000 mileage. Should the price be lowered because of the broken tail lights?
