ABOUT US & HISTORY
Hi there, I am putting my loved bright PINK KOMBI for sale here on eBay.
I bought this car about 2.5 years ago from a Righteous Kombis in Central Coast. The vehicle used to belong to Central Coast VW specialist who did it up for his daughter (that’s where the pink paint comes from)
We bought it with my girlfriend as a promotion vehicle for our business. We own a local cleaning company in Bondi and our colors are white/pink so this kombi was perfect match for us.
It was my first old veedub and I loved every day of having it.
Since than I been using it about 3 days a week as a daily driver around Eastern Suburbs – If you live around here you would possibly see me driving around.
It never let us down, and it helped to promote our business – we got heaps of work from this powerful marketing tool!
When we bought the kombi we had to take a loan from a bank. Now I am studying full time, business is operating without me – we have employees, we are planning to sell it in the end of the year and move to Melbourne.
So we have decided that since we use the car only once a week at the moment, it would be the best to sell it and pay off the loan and save up some $$ in monthly repayments.
It surely will be missed! ☹ ☹ ☹

Of course it will come without the stickers (we put them on the glass only to ensure it doesn’t ruin the paint)
