    You gotta be $hi77en me!

    I'm all about rare and unusual but $85,000? A friggin' pickup truck with no towing capacity whatsoever (worth mentioning) made by a company that excretes more cars in a month (or perhaps a week) than Porsche does all year.

    Geez, that's how much was offered to a neighbor's son's lovingly restored 23 window VW bus!
    as to this heap...no way, I dont see it no matter how feerique the tale that accompanies it says its worth.

    Fishing. It's rare alright, but even Doka devotees won't pay crack-pipe, fairy tale, 4X4, low mileage or not. $30K is more like it.

    Wow... went right past "48km" thinkin' 48,000km! Musta been the looong story below the headline that distracted me.
    Still, that's a pile of money for a Doka 4X4. Yes, I know they're rare and very cool, just not $85K cool (at least IMHO).

    Anyway, with only 48km on it, whattaya do? It's not pretty enough to buy for it's looks, and the idea of spending that much
    just for a display toy is only gonna appeal to a very small buying pool. Most want a truck they can USE. $30K gets a good one.
    That's diesel, 4X4, synchro. BaT featured a couple in the past year or two, and Samba always has a few. 2WD is much cheaper.
