This VM Transit T350 140 (2.4 TDCi, RWD, LWB, Mid-roof) was declared a Repairable Write-Off (Financial) after a front end collision. The damage was fairly minimal, the airbag was not deployed, and the vehicle still drove just as straight, and just as good as before the accident. The van has only traveled 182000 km's (mostly highway... delivering wine), is in great mechanical condition and has been serviced by Ford all of its life (next service due at 195000 kms). It drives and handles superbly! I recently drove the van through 150 km's of windy/hilly roads and was so impressed with the grunt of the engine and the handling of the chassis. It's actually quite fun to drive, with effortless pull, great steering, and good traction. A friend also recently borrowed the van, since having it repaired, and used it to move relocate to Corryong (530kms NE of Ballarat). He said it performed faultlessly, and couldn't praise it highly enough.

The van has been professionally repaired (receipts provided), and will come with a VIV certificate and RWC... nothing for the buyer to do but register. The only reason I'm selling the van unregistered is because it would otherwise mean stamp duty would need to be paid twice (once at registration and once at transfer).

The only other issues I've noticed with the van are:

*Drivers door doesn't always lock with the remote. Unlocks fine, and still locks with key -
*Small dent in bonnet
*A few small pin dents and a minor scrape on the sides
*Drivers seat arm rest damaged
*Vinyl sticker glue residue very slightly visible.... in the right lighting.

None of these problems I'd personally worry about... just trying to be honest.

You will struggle to find a LWB VM Transit in this condition, with under 200000 Km's, for effectively $15600 drive-away with 12 months reg. The van has an unregistered vehicle permit that is valid until 17/09/14, the RWC has been completed, and the VIV will be done on Wednesday (03/09/14)... it is ready to be sold immediately! I can arrange registration for interstate buyers (at buyers expense).

PLEASE IGNORE THE PRICE ON THE BACK WINDOW... OLD PRICE, BEFORE RECENT WORK!

Texts, calls, inspections and test drives are welcome! May consider swaps.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
