Locating a Espar or Webasto Heater Internationally?

[snowcruiser]

Anyone in Europe or elsewhere know of a source for used Webasto or Espar gas or diesel heaters? The brand new ones are priced very high and a unit out of a used car would save me a ton of cash. I may be willing to pay a finders fee for a perfectly operating unit with wiring harness!

A guy in our club bought a Webasto for about $700 Cdn from ebay in Germany;

He used Bablefish for translation, but also had a german friend helping him out.

In Germany, they are all over the place, in fact placing a search "webasto diesel" got me 77 results, and just plain webasto got me 546 hits. FYI in Europe, they make Webastos for gassers too.

Thanks Craig

Would you mind asking this fellow how he likes the heater? Did he get the gas or diesel version? What is it installed in. I'd love to talk to him. Maybe PM with his e-mail?

Up here in cold country, those who have the Webastos LOVE them. I've never known anyone who has actually used a gas webasto.

He's got his diesel one in a 83 BJ60.

I'll ask him if it's ok to give you his email.
