1976 Volkswagon Westfalia Camper Bus / Transporter on 2040-cars
Oceanside, California, United States
My wife
and I are selling our 1976 VW Camper Bus after owning it for almost 4
years. We are not
the original owners and it has had at least two other owners before us
that we know of. We purchased it off a graduating college student who
was selling it after he graduated. The previous owner
took meticulous care of the bus and traveled all over Central and
South America. This bus has been to the tip of South America! I drive it daily,
mostly to the beach to surf or to the office. It has no current mechanical
issues and is running great. I do not have records as to the last time
the engine or transmission was rebuilt. I do have three crates
of new spare parts that the previous owner gave me. I also have extra
"original" interior fabric, an exterior "vintage" awning
and (3) boxes or misc. new and used parts that comes with it. In the four years
that I have owned it, I have changed the
alternator, regularly changed the oil and get tune ups before road
trips. We take it to a local VW mechanic. The interior is in really good shape
for the age, with most original fabric and features in tacked. The (2) front seat are custom and very comfortable,
they were design for long trips. The speedometer just stopped working. It
has an older cassette radio that I believe has a short because it
works on and off. I was planning on
replacing it with a simple $100 type CD player. It is all wired up with a nice
speaker system. I also has the secondary battery to run lights, interior
fans and the previous owner rigged up a transformer so you can get
210 power to plug in appliances and charge your cell phone. It has a
nearly new stove with the exterior hook ups and the stove gas system works
great. It is starting to get some exterior rust bubbles and spots that
should be dealt with eventually. The pop up camper canvas is in good
shape. Just a great daily driver - ready for trips - not a project but would
not take much to do a full restoration. Call or email with any questions. Chris (760)
990-3499. Buyer to pick up locally or cover all shipping cost. I do have
it also listed on our local San Diego Craigslist for $9.700.00 and so I used
the “buy it now” EBay option so the $9,700.00 price is a first come first serve
option. If it doesn’t sell for the
$9,700.oo first I will let the auction runs its course. |

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
