This is a re-list of my beloved VW, Bus, "V DOOB". The original listing ran in June 2013. Bidding was brisk, but the high bidder reneged within hours of winning the auction. This is a classic, collectible vehicle and you will NOT get financed through eBay Auto Financing. Please don't bid if you can't afford it.
**This VW Bus is only being auctioned through this eBay listing -nowhere else on the internet or in print. If you see pictures or any other listings for this vehicle outside of this eBay listing, it is a scam!** Up for sale is my 1972 Volkswagen Bus, "V DOOB". Used exclusively as an occasional weekend-jaunter and summer concert-wagon since I purchased her in 2011. There is an electric choke, but she still likes warm weather more than cold. Engine rebuilt (both top & bottom end) in 2007. Approx. 2200 miles driven since rebuild. New Weber progressive carb setup with electric choke, new SVDA distributor, all heater tubes & flaps work (she'll defrost the front window & give you solid front heat!!) all engine tin intact, nice non-rusty heater boxes, H4 headlamp upgrade (bright lights!), professionally powder-coated rims with Hankook RA08 tires (plus a fifth brand-new powdercoated rim with matching brand-new Hankook RA08 tire mounted), professional alignment, new Koni rear shocks, new drive axles, new brake lines all around, new brakes, new master cylinder, rebuilt brake booster, working original horn, new side windows & seals, all wiring is solid with soldered connections, all relays intact & functioning, all lights & blinkers work, new fuse box & fuses, gas tank removed cleaned & reinstalled, very tight shifting and stays solid in ALL gears, 'Stinger' exhaust is sealed & flowing smoothly, new OEM gas cap. Needs a new engine temperature sending unit - not a big deal, but engine temperature gauge under-dash bounces a little. Frame is perfectly straight and not rusty. This bus does NOT leak oil, nor burn oil WHATSOEVER! Underside of engine is clean, clean, clean. I've been using K&N racing filters and AmSoil synthetic oil (or sometimes RedLine synthetic) since purchasing the bus. Manual trans gear oil was refreshed & refilled in 2011 - NOT synthetic because synthetic detergents may damage old internal trans parts. This bus is built for long road-trips and weekend festival fun. I have no worries taking her 1000+miles for a trip. Compression-tested and approved!! The interior was NOT my doing, but a mid-90's 'party bus' job. The 1200Watt amp works, but is disconnected. Polk Audio speakers are fully functioning, but disconnected. Yes, that's a party bar with shotglass-holding inserts in the rear. Yes, those are white Pleather bench seats (ouch!). Yes, that's GREEN SHAG CARPET. There is a non-working flatscreen TV mounted to the back of the passenger seat - kinda ghetto, in my opinion. The stereo head unit in the dash is disconnected. Yes, that's a hardwood floor and door panels, but it needs to go eventually. There is a little bondo work on the passenger rear corner. The only major rust is the picture you see of the passenger-side floor pan - yes, it's a hole in the passenger floor. What about the VW emblem for the front? There was no emblem on the bus when I purchased it, but as noted below, the winning bidder will receive an OEM, chrome-plated VW emblem, which I secured from an eBay auction (and matching mounting clips/inserts). Unfortunately, whoever removed the original emblem drilled out the four mounting holes and they are now too large for the mounting clips to slide tightly in. To properly attach & align your OEM VW emblem, those four holes must be spot-welded, then re-measured and re-drilled. Receipts will be provided for all work and every piece listed above. In addition, winning bidder will receive all parts shown in last two photos from this listing, listed henceforth: Parts Picture 1: Clockwise from top-center: Old 009 distributor, front air vent piece, dash air vent, extra engine compartment blower fan, extra hardware for powder-coated front & rear license plate holders, NEW accelerator cable for '68 bus (211 721 555D, received in error), NEW clutch pedal linkage, TWO NEW clutch cables (211 721 335J), NEW accelerator cable for '72 bus (211 721 555J), NEW rear inner wheel bearings (211 501 287, set of two), right-side 'warm air pipe' (runs from engine blower hose through engine tin & down into heater box, then forward through heat flaps toward front of bus), Haynes Manual #226 (VW Transporter 1700/1800/2000 1972-1979), extra linkage parts for new Weber Progressive carb. In the Middle: VW Emblem Clips (211 853 614, set of four clips), Original VW front emblem with pins intact, one extra ORIGINAL VW key blank. Parts Picture 2: K&N Racing oil filter, oil screen gasket set & drain plug washer, extra distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, one gallon AmSoil 15W50 racing oil. Buyer is solely responsible for arranging pickup/transport of vehicle to desired location, and paying for said transport and all associated fees, taxes, duties, etc. I may be able to assist buyer in securing professional transport, if such assistance is requested. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions, or requests for further pictures or whatnot. |

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
Least satisfying vehicle rankings seek to highlight the worst cars of the year
Sun, Feb 5 2023Consumer Reports polls its members on all sorts of topics related to how they buy and use products ranging from mobile phones to humidifiers for indoor plants. Cars are regularly one of CR’s most interesting topics, and its recent study on the least satisfying vehicles to own offers insights into the cars people wish they hadnÂ’t purchased. CR polled thousands of members with questions about what they liked and disliked about the vehicle theyÂ’d owned for a few years. When asked if they would definitely repurchase the same car, the following vehicles came back as the least likely to be purchased a second time: Kia Forte: 51% would buy again Nissan Altima: 51% would buy again Nissan Kicks: 49% would buy again Volkswagen Taos: 48% would buy again Kia Seltos: 48% would buy again Jeep Compass: 46% would buy again Mercedes-Benz GLA: 45% would buy again Infiniti QX50: 40% would buy again Mercedes-Benz GLB: 39% would buy again Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport: 38% would buy again When Autoblog tested the VW Atlas Cross Sport in March 2022, we liked the styling and the price was right, but it lagged rivals in driving excitement and interior quality. A number of recalls donÂ’t help the Cross SportÂ’s cause much, either, as some models have more than a dozen actions by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Even the 2023 model already has four recalls. The annoyance of recalls and the hassle of just-average reliability ratings could have played into the Cross SportÂ’s place as the least satisfying vehicle. On the other end of the spectrum, the Chevrolet Corvette earned the top spot as CR's most satisfying car. The Porsche 911, Rivian R1T, Ford Maverick Hybrid, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 round out the top-five most satisfying vehicles to own. Given the rabid following the 911 has built over the years and the insane performance Chevy derived from the latest Corvette, itÂ’s not surprising to see them in the top spots.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
