Title: Where to search for Bay's for sale other than Samba?
Post by: Acs on August 02, 2012, 06:07:14 AM

Hey guys, haven't been posting much.. or at all really since I sold my 65 Beetle.
Anyway I've been checking out Samba and they seem to really jack up the prices there.. I'm looking for a (preferably) early Bay bus for something play with and take camping as well as make daily-reliable.

So where other than The Samba is a good place to look?

The best deals I've found are on Kijiji and craigslist. Search near by states and provinces, many will turn up and the ones from even Washington state
are in much better shape than BC (they don't salt the roads like we do)

Great, thanks Geoff! I'll be keeping in eyes peeled then.
For now it's homework time.. is there a "what to look for/avoid" type thread? Like common rust areas and when to say no to one, etc.
