Once again, the differences of the U.S. and the european market get clear...

I hope you get what you want, here in Germany only one T3 for 25k$ is offered over half a year now: complete Porsche conversion: Brakes, engine, trans (and fully equipped with T3 stock accessoires like A/C etc.). But still no buyer... >>

Raimund,

IMHO this is an optimistic price for today's US market. Three years ago it would have been gone in two seconds. Nowadays, there may still be a buyer for it but it will take along time to sell.

When I first landed my 16" Double Cab in California, I was offered $23K for it even though it was only in fair condition. Now I can't even get anyone to look at it at 25% below that.

I know of at least two 2wd dokas for sale here at under $9K. Three years ago, they would have sold for that in a flash. This pair has been sitting for over a year. One has a 1.9TD conversion. The other one was traded in to a local VW dealer (I missed it). Converted to automatic with a Digifant 2.1, modified Carat bumpers, modified Carat upholstery and overhead AC. I'm sick about it. I was told it traded for $2500.
