I HAVE A FRIEND LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER VEHICLE TO BUY IF THIS WOULD HELP WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE
I AM AN HONEST EBAYER AND IN MY OPINION THIS VW BONITO IS A SOLID CANDIDATE FOR A DRIVING RESTORATION.
I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AS GENERALLY VERY SOLID WHICH HAS OBVIOUSLY HAD A LOT OF MONEY SPENT ON IT IN THE PAST AND IS NOW BEING SOLD AS A DRIVABLE PROJECT NEEDING WORK / RESTORING.
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE MAGNIFYING BRIGADE THEN THIS CAR AT THIS LOW PRICE IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU!
PLEASE NOTE: THE PAINT / BODY / INTERIOR / ELECTRICS / ETC ALL REQUIRE SOME FORM OF ATTENTION.
STARTS, MOVES AND STOPS BUT BEING SOLD AS A PROJECT NEEDING WORK / RESTORING

OBVIOUSLY DUE TO STORAGE OF MY TRADE VEHICLES AND THE VERY NATURE OF OLDER VEHICLES, I WOULD SUGGEST A GOOD SERVICE/OVERHAUL OF ALL FLUIDS, BRAKES, RUBBERS, RUNNING GEAR, CLUTCHES, PIPES, ENGINES AND ELECTRICS WOULD BE ADVISABLE AND MOST LIKELY NEEDED IN SOME CASES.
