1968 Vw Bus With Sundial Conversion on 2040-cars
Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States
|
A Factory Original Sundial! Almost everything on this vehicle is from the factory or Sundial. All of the interior, paint, windows, trim, engine, transmission and even the spare tire is original. This bus has only had two owners and stored in a garage for its entirety. This beauty has been meticulously maintained over its lifetime and now it is time to pass it on to someone who can continue to do the same. I have most maintenance records from the first oil change to the original owner's manual and dealership brochures.
EXTERIOR: There is some body damage that was done years ago. The sliding door was backed into in New Mexico in 1978, I believe. There is a "kink" in the door but it still slides, latches and seals. The left rear quarter panel hit a trash can in Washington in the late 80's. The repair that was done is fine but they had a hard time matching the paint. The brakes, shocks and bearings will need to be done soon but are still in drivable condition. I just installed brand new tires, spark plugs and performed an oil change. The body is rust free. All of the door locks work and are keyed the same as the ignition. The lights, seals and windshield wipers are in excellent condition. And the glass is in great shape and, I believe, factory original. INTERIOR: There are a few flaws in the interior. There is a small 1/2" tear in the headliner and the "vinyl" on the firewall is starting to de-lam. Other than that, the interior is perfect. The dash is rot free with fully working controls, the wood in the camper is in good shape and the floor has been covered since the early 70's. The pump for the sink works. I even have the factory jack! All of the decals that came from the factory are still in place. This 46 year old VW that has less than 100,000 miles on it and has been to every state in the continental U.S. except two! On Apr-29-14 at 08:54:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Addendum 4/29/14 - Upon closer inspection, there is a slight gap in the upper left corner of the sliding door when closed. It does fully close and latch, but is not completely sealed. There is also an oil drip, but no major leaks. The carburetor was just rebuilt and the bus has its original oil-bath aircleaner. |

2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
Thu, Jan 29 2015Volkswagen calls its 2015 Jetta "refined, redesigned," and countless man-hours have gone into its re-engineering, but you'd need to crawl all over the car, unbolt most of the body, drive it or spend some time on VW's website to fathom the changes. That's why we wrote, "2015 Volkswagen Jetta is new, we promise," when we first saw the car in New York last April. While we wait for a sweeping next-generation overhaul to come, the marquee elements for now are the new structure underneath designed to win an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, fuel economy increases and a heavily reworked 2.0 TDI diesel engine. Plus, there's ornamental detailing around the body and updated interior, and the revamped trim package and accessories matrix promises to provide more value. That makes it a better buy than the 2014 model, assuming it can find buyers ready to appreciate the subtleties. Outside, improved aerodynamic prowess is the primary goal, and almost all of the visual refresh works to further that aim. A new grille with three cross fins sits atop a slipperier bumper and air intakes. On models with the 1.8T gas engine and new 2.0 TDI diesel, the grille is fitted with a shutter to decrease drag and, on the diesel, speed up the engine warming. There are sleeker rain gutters inside the A-pillars and paneling under the body by the rear axles. Attending to airflow in back is an altered decklid reshaped with an integrated spoiler. Among the other changes are optional adaptive bi-Xenon headlights lined with 15 LED running lights and a chrome strip of brightwork. New fog lights are set in the flanks of the lower lip, and LED taillights can be had on the GLI and Hybrid models, with a tweaked VW logo sitting in between. The illuminating upgrades continue inside with ambient lighting and a crisper dash cluster display. Those cabin changes are joined by an optional "tunnel" theme for the gauges, a new steering wheel design with piano black accents and chrome, redesigned vent controls and new fabric options. Changes to the front substructure from the bumper to the front doors, and strengthened A-pillars combined to win the 2015 sedan a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We're here to focus on the diesel model, and the updated EA288 2.0 TDI engine and its modular packaging is the most visceral highlight for 2015, inserting new numbers on every line of the spec sheet compared to its predecessor, save for cylinder bore spacing.
10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future
Mon, Apr 27 2015Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
