Welcome to the forum- Perhaps if you posted which particular model you are after it would help.
Many splittie owners on here Smile

How handy are you?  I suspect you will have difficulties finding one on-the-road for that price, although if they can be found anywhere it would probably be WA...  If you can weld and are good at mechanical work then you might be lucky - otherwise, you might be better off looking for a lowlight or later bay (you could potentially get a great one for that price).

Good luck! And welcome to the Kombi Konnection! Smile

Hi, you may need to find bout another $10.000 on top of what you wana pay for a splitty in fairly good nik (licienced) .......In the past few years, the price has gone radio rental Shocked

Anyway, if there is one that comes up for sale, then KK is a good place to look...ebay of course and the Quokka Very Happy

You could get a quality bay for that price, kitted out wiv some nice interior...I want a bay, the walk through is priceless....

All the best with your search, and Welcome to KK Razz

HI good luck with your search, I am afraid to say the same as VLKSWGN bargains are a thing of the past.  There are many people on the hunt and especially for Splits.....even bays are being brought and exported now.

Don't let us put you off, as there are some folk out there that will only sell their beloved VW to someone they "like" ie a good home (not to someone in it for the money or a hoarder).

Good luck, try carsales.com, and the West Aust on sundays (get it saturday night) Wink

A Bay might make a better 'first' kombi anyway... cost less to run, easier to work on and drive a bit better.... a bit more forgiving all in all

good luck!

Hi Katattack, ( sound good) of the female variety,
Get to know the Quokka, each week there are several listing and they are all over the place.
My mate at work hunts through and shows them to me each week.
I am surprised how many surface all the time.
One this week only had a week of license left, advertised at $1000.00 or near offer.
Once the rego runs out it is only a donor vehicle or a heck of a lot of work.

suggestion, grab a highlighter and scissors and search for a few weeks and start a scrap book, you will then get a feel for "what is going".

regards
KKombii
