Is my van dead? How do I sell the Westfalia parts? URGENTish

Post by **ols** » 03 Dec 2007, 09:54

I've blown a head gasket and I think it is going to cost too much to fix, especially when you consider that the van has rust in all the usual places, so today I'll probably tell the garage not to bother.

But what do I do with the interior? Is it worth money? Anybody want an original fully working Club Joker high-top interior? Not to mention all sorts of other spares, new tires, cycle rack, 3-way fridge, etc...

Sorry, should have said: 1.6TD 1985 Club Joker Hi-Top, brown.

It could be that your van is worth more intact - especially with all the 'new' bits you mention - than flogging it bit by bit - with all the upheaval that will entail.

The cycle rack, 3 way fridge, new tyres etc, etc, are items that would attract the buyers in my opinion.

If you are certain you don't want to repair it yourself then put it on ebay (with a reserve if you like) as 'spares or repair' that way you will get shot of it in one fell swoop, and the onus will be on the purchaser for any removal expenses.

I've just prepared a Transit for MOT.
On reflection, I should have sold it as 'spares or repair' as I have spent a lot of money and more importantly, a lot of un-recoverable labour in bringing it to A1 standard.

Do the head gaket yourself and get her running again, those westy jokers are still fetching good money even if a little battered

If you do decide to cut your losses please can I buy the hightop?

Sorry if that sounds a bit cheeky
