Title: WANTED: Melbourne ~ a Black affordable Bedford I can sleep in!
Post by: Gypsy on September 02, 2011, 01:07:00 AM
Hi y'all!

I'm looking to buy an affordable Black Automatic Bedford - preferably  :-* ~ obviously, I am open to Infinite Possibilities.

I've never had one before, but have always wanted one! We used to cruise around in an Indigo one with crushed blue velvet interior...  ;)
Looking for no rust, no drafts, so I can sleep securely in her womb. One that cruises happily would be awesome. I can get my own roadworthy.

I'm moving house as they're selling, and I don't have a new house yet. Thought I might go gypsy for a while...

Please email me at mardiwolf@hotmail if you have any leads.

Thanks so much!
Great to be here!

*~♥~*

You'd be insane to buy that one. Just the rust work alone would run into the thousands to repair to a roadworthy standard.
To say nothing of the mechanical problems.

I would strongly advise waiting for a more rust free example. They are out there.

ok, well, keep the leads coming!

I did get outbid; which I guess was a good thing...

As of the end of September, I'll have no where to live, so would Love a van, asap.

I've got about 2K atm, and I keep calling Joe, in Dandenong (97925000), who has told me 4 times that he'd send me MMS of the vans he has for sale, but he never does.
I don't think I believe him anymore...
He says about 3-31/2 K, which might be doable.

Would appreciate some more leads  :)

Thanks, team xXx

Joe is OK for parts. But I wouldn't rely on him to buy a complete van.

It'll be pretty hard to buy anything in roadworthy condition for 2 grand. 4 - 5 is a more realistic amount.

That's pretty great, hey...

Not sure how I'd be able to get it from Canberra, and the price is a bit beyond me, but I'll certainly look into it.

Apart from wanting a black one, I always wanted a red one with a bull bar...  :)

Thanks so much, Zee

ah, I see...

thanks for the links; the last one looked classy ;)

well... if it owes you 4k, you probably won't want to let it go for any less than that; does yours have any rust, or does it have plates? How long since it's been registered? Runs ok?



Maybe we could... share it...? ;D

That 4th link to the white van : minor rust, easily boggable, are you kidding  lol  ;D ;D ;D ;D Let me tell you, when i got my van i had rust above the wjndscreen just like that van, and it had been bogged, man to fix it and to stop the water fall inside we had to cut all the rust out and replate it with solid metal. I guess some people will say anything to sell a van. The person that buys it is going to have some rust work to do on it, forget the bog, quicker to weld some new steel into it.
