First, please realize you are taking on a lifestyle, not just a nostalgic old car. If so, happy camping!
Second, becareful about getting a cheap one. Often times, the cheap ones are the ones that turn out to be rust buckets or have bad engines or electrical challenges. If you really want cheap, you may have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and give it some elbow grease!

I bought my "hippie"van (1970 Westfalia pop top camper -- I love it!!) from www.thesamba.com
It's a great website- search the classifieds -- you can narrow it down by type of vehicle or state, or both.

Also, try craigslist, but be willing to look in many different areas. There are several great places back east to find good buses.

Another great place to look is on ebay. Just ask a lot of questions.

If you're up for a road trip, go to Arkansas. They have one of the largest VW salvage yards there you'll ever see. But they also do project and restoration to get up and sold. You can check out their website at wayoutsalvage.com

Once you get your bus, try Go Westy for parts and what not to keep the camper parts of your new house on wheels functioning well.

www.thesamba.com

but you will pay a premium for cars there, the owners know what they have.

if you want a deal, keep your eyes open while driving around where you live, or try www.craigslist.org
