FOR SALE: VW Transporter (T4) in Peru / Ecuador June - August 2014
 

After having traveled almost 7 month, we (German Couple) are about to finishing our trip through South America and are looking to sell our beloved and well maintained "Wall-e" Volkswagen EuroVan (Transporter Version 4). We call him Wall-e after the Disney Movie, because he looks a bit beat with a few dents and blunt paint but is a reliable and strong companion.

Built 1992
Registered in Canada (Canadian plates = Title easy to transfer).
This car only seats two people and does not come with a bench or seat in the back!
Current kilometer reading: ~ 285.000 KM (in Lima)
Machine: 2.5 liters, five cylinder (very durable and strong even at 4.800 Meter altitude and temperatures below freezing) running on gas (Benzin, Nafta, Fuel) and is manual shift. The consumption is between 9 (highway) and 11 (mountains and off road) litres per 100 km.
With 16" Rims and high tires, you have a good clearance allowing access to almost all areas in South America. For 99% of South America, you do not really need 4x4 if you ask any forum member to answer honestly.
