1978 Volkswagen Thing M181 Eurojeep

If you purchase this vehicle I will need $500.00 deposit within 48 hours via Phone call commitment, check or MO. Balance will be due within 4 business days. I will arrange for shipment from Athens, Georgia via the Estes Trucking loading dock to your location per your instructions. You may also visit for test drive and do a local pickup. If a trucking company is used, I estimate the cost for shipping to the west cost at $900.00. Delivery east of Mississippi will be much less. Estes trucking is a trusted carrier to Athens, Georgia. This vehicle weighs about 1800lbs.
