Tyrolean cheated – crooks destroyed big life dream with VW Bulli

Date:

A nurse from Rietz in Tyrol wanted to get away from it all after the extremely challenging pandemic years and take a ride in a VW Bulli. However, buying the dream vehicle and restoring it turned into a nightmare.

Drive through Europe once in your life with the VW cult bus Bulli T1. After extremely challenging Corona years in a retirement home, Marion Jüngel (49) from Rietz (Imst district) wanted to realize this dream together with her partner – including a three-month break.

On the Internet, she came across an Upper Austrian dealer and went there. “There were at least 20 T1s. The owner seemed friendly and serious. I selected a body and signed a purchase contract including restoration,” says the Tyrolean choice from Frankfurt. A total price of 40,000 euros was agreed, for the down payment, the 49-year-old took out a loan of 20,000 euros.

In reality, no restoration took place
The restoration should take three months. “But it went on and on and the dealer said on the phone that he was missing loose parts.” The Tyrolean nurse then asked friends to visit the entrepreneur. Conclusion: “The bus was still there as it was when the deposit was paid!”

Now the mood turned, but Marion Jüngel accepted, “for the sake of peace”, a T1 as an alternative, to be delivered by ship from Brazil. “But the man didn’t answer the phone for weeks after that.” The 49-year-old demanded the 20,000 euros back through a lawyer.

Business premises suddenly abandoned
Then the bitter news: the business premises were suddenly empty and all T1 gone – bankruptcy! Through research, the Tyrolean found out that there were about 35 victims with about 700,000 euros in damage. She received a warrant and the entrepreneur was sentenced in a district court.

Meanwhile, victims joined a WhatsApp group. It says that the entrepreneur transferred his houses to his girlfriend and that she even bought a restaurant. Nothing seems to get out of him anymore. “Even my bus hasn’t shown up since.”
