May is Bus Month?

I usually post about the venerable VW Thing, my current dream car (ok, I've been pining for quite a while)...

Today, I used my go-to searchtempest to see what's for sale on craigslist and found some good ones. If you are looking for a VW Bus, let me say that as a former owner and longtime lurker on The Samba.com and elsewhere, these are very reasonable deals!

First, a local bus for $7000 that's slightly overpriced with the clear holes in the driver's floor, but generally appears to be worth it:



Another Ohio candidate for comparison in a little better shape inside asking $9500, about where the market is right now (especially with a complete interior).



On the lower end of things is a very affordable but rougher than I would want (even though it's running) 71 bus for $3000 down south. If I was 20, I'd buy this today.


For comparison, $3000 can get you this.


In the $2000 range, you get a mystery wrapped in an enigma:


Yuck.

Now, this is nice and at $6400 it's a great deal. If you are looking for a bus, buy this one, even though it's brown! LOL.

This doesn't show the interior, but if it's there at all, this $6300 running van is the best deal on a camper you're likely to see:


Other than maybe this deal on thesamba for $5900. If I had the cash, I'd already be headed to Virginia.




Another contender at $6500 is this blue bus in New Jersey, but the lack of interior photos or closeups scares me a little.



Lastly, this is so cool. $24,000, and that's reasonable for a single cab in this condition!
