VOLKSWAGEN KOMBI Used Car Review

Pros

Cons

  • 1960s and 1970s models are truly iconic and loaded with character
  • Ride comfort of older models
  • Larger, multi-seat interiors of modern-day Kombis
  • 2006 Kombi Beach's clever storage, front swivel seats and bed system
  • Safety and reliability of earlier models not a patch on later versions
  • Early models not cheap - and split-screen versions will cost you a motza
  • 2006 Kombi Beach accommodated only four occupants
  • Next-generation Kombi not due till 2022 (and will be electric)

Percy is my name and camping is my game. I am a 1975 model and I have had 3 owners. I have never needed restoring. I have been regularly serviced and have the service book and receipts to prove it. I have an 1800cc motor and a 4 speed manual transmission. My paint is still bright and in excellent condition and I don't have any rust. I even have my original Campmobile tent with the VW logo on it. I'm not perfect - my fridge isn't working properly and i have a tear in the front panel of my poptop

Straight as all hell. Currently unregistered. Previously on club plates. Will get a blue slip no problem. There is so much about this bus to note. Serious buyers please reach out to discuss.

  • Common FAQs
  • Prices for the Volkswagen Kombi fluctuate wildly depending on age and condition of individual vans and paradoxically, the oldest are often the most expensive. Leaving heavily customised models aside, a 1973 split-windscreen option, for example, can demand a hefty $100,000 on Gumtree, but by comparison, you'll also find 1973 models going for as little as $32, 500.
  • No. Powered by a variety of rear-mounted engines, the Volkswagen Kombi is rear-wheel drive, although some later Type 2 models have all-wheel drive. Because of the levels of customisation of many models, each Gumtree listing should include drive train details.
  • Although Volkswagen Kombis are licensed to carry up to seven people, the variety of configurations available means this can vary. To check the details of the Kombi that catches your eye on Gumtree, click the relevant link for the full details.
  • Kombi is short for the German word, Kombinationskraftwagen, which translates to 'combination motor vehicle'. This abbreviation was adopted globally, so much so that it went from a form of a nickname for the brand to become an established brand name.
  • While the vintage Volkswagen Kombi shouldn't be harnessed with a tow bar, from the mid-1970s onwards, the Kombi was accredited with a braked towing capacity of 1,200 kg that increases to 2,500 kg for later models.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: VOLKSWAGEN KOMBI (2005-2008)

Everybody wants a VW Kombi. Or so it seems. But the really early cars are now the realm of the hard-core enthusiasts who need to be on their toes to keep these antiques running.

Which means, that if you must have a Kombi to actually use, then the later (T5) variants are the ones to go for.

A much more modern design, these vehicles were not without their faults, starting with everything electrical.

Make sure you include the keyless locking in your inspection as a new key can cost plenty by the time it has been cut and coded to the car.

Check for oil leaks from the engine and where it meets the transmission and take a close look at the condition of all the belts and hoses under the bonnet. The oil on the dipstick should be clean and clear and not black and thick.

Make sure you check the condition of the tyres, too, as plenty of Kombi owners over the years have confused the legend of VW reliability with the reality of modern motoring.
