We bought our Volkswagen Eurovan in July 2018 in Alaska and since then we have been traveling with it thorugh the United States and Canada. In November we will enter Mexico and then drive down through Central America. Since we are from Germany and won’t go back to the USA, we plan to sell our campervan in Central America. We are flexible in which country: Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Belize or Mexico. It depends where we find a nice buyer who loves the van as much as we do! 🙂
- Price: 7500 USD (negotionable) including all equipmend mentioned below. Paying in Euro would be prefered.
- The earliest time to sell would be January 2019 as we are still traveling, but later is ok too!
- The US registration is good until 11/2020, which gives you plenty of time to travel through central or south america!
General Data for our Volkswagen Eurovan
- Volkswagen Eurovan (Bulli / T4 / Transporter)
- Built 2001 in Germany
- Colour: Blue, tinted windows in the back
- We have a clean title & plate from Alaska on hand which is good until November 2020 (!). Transfering the title is very easy and we can assist you with the registration process from outside of the US and/or we will help you with all needed documentation (Poder) to travel through central america with the van.
