Hi friends,

Aside from the year/model, rego status and photos, what other info woulld be helpful for someone looking to buy, please?
Thanks for your help!

Hi there
Sad to hear you need to sell your kombi, but need to look after family.
Pics are definitely good, but need to show body conditions and not just “Insta worthy” pics
Underneath, any rust areas (or not), interior and engine.
Some info on service history is good, as well as any major works or upgrades.
Any recent motor, gearbox or suspension rebuilds.
To me, it’s all about the body.
Rust is a killer.
I can put up with bad original paint and mechanical bits can be replaced.
But rust costs big bucks to fix

And use the headings and have a summary for each one.

x2 for Barry's comments.....
Be honest with your ad. and realistic with your price.
For what it's worth, do you have rear seating ?
With the use of an access step - as provided with most camper set-ups - I was able to drive my 100 yo grandmother around quite easily.
No way she could hoik herself up into the passenger seat....but the seats in the back were much easier to access.
Just a thought if it was the primary reason for selling.....
Cheers,
Mark
