This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION!! Up for sale is my 1979 Volkswagen Van with 125,000 miles, and only 11,000 on a totally rebuilt motor. This van comes equipped with the following options. -2L motor (rebuilt less then 11,000 miles ago) - Manual transmission -CD player - Newer tires (90% tread life) - Lots of new items (listed below) The van drives great! It fires right up and purrs like a kitten even on a cold start after sitting for weeks. The clutch actuates in the middle of the peddle throw with plenty of life left and shifts through all the gears with ease. The shift lever is a little sloppy (very common with old vans) and might need shift bushings at some point down the road, but its not an urgent issue. The electrical items appear to all be working and wiring is trouble free. The body is in pretty good shape, it was painted a few years back and could use a few touch up’s here and there. The majority of the issues are small bubbles on the paint near the rear engine hatch and on the underside aft edge of the sliding door. The underside and frame are in great shape with the factory undercoating still covering most areas. For the majority of you out there you have probably experienced yourself or know someone who has had to rebuild one of these motors. It can be a total pain in the butt!! Luckily this one has already been done with only 11,000 miles on the rebuild. The motor was completely disassembled and serviced by a local shop that specializes in old VDubs. When it was all said and done the work cost just over $3100!! A huge savings for the next owner and guaranteed reliability! The tires and brakes are quite new and the shocks have just been replaced. The van just had a $713.00 service on 8/1/13, Its ready for an adventure! If you have any questions or would like to take it for a ride please do not hesitate to contact me @ 440-487-1762. |

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
VW announces reworked 6.0 W12 TSI engine
Mon, May 11 2015Nobody makes more engines with a dozen cylinders than the Volkswagen Group. They're W12s, of course, owing to the novel shape of their cylinder banks. Now the German industrial giant has announced a comprehensively reworked version of that engine at the same Vienna Motor Symposium where it presented its new 2.0-liter turbo four. The new W12 retains the same arrangement and the same 6.0-liter displacement, but updates it all with the latest powertrain tech. In place of Audi's FSI direct injection and Bentley's TMPI multi-point injection, the engine has adopted a new TSI system. It's also got a pair of new twin-scroll turbochargers, APS-coated cylinders, a new cooling system, active engine mounts, cylinder deactivation, and a stop/start system. And – crucially for application in the upcoming Bentayga – it has an oil circuit designed for off-road use. The revised package now produces 600 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Considerably more than the 567 hp and 516 lb-ft offered in the Bentley Continental GT W12, but less than the GT Speed, which we suspect will get an even more powerful version of this new engine. It's also more powerful than even the top version of Audi and Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, to make the W12 a more compelling option. Of course that's just as far as the Continental GT is concerned. The W12 has also found use in the Continental GTC and Flying Spur, as well as the Volkswagen Phaeton and Audi A8, and could find further applications under the Flying B emblem and elsewhere in the future. VW says that in the right application (say, in the production version of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept, for example), the new twelve-pot could deliver 0-62 times of under four seconds and a top speed in excess of 186 miles per hour. Volkswagen at the 36th International Vienna Motor Symposium Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser: "The car of the future will continue to fascinate people" - CO2 reduction, electromobility and digitalisation are the greatest challenges facing the automotive industry - The future of the internal combustion engine will be characterised by high rpm diesel and high-performance three-cylinder TSI engines - Laser roughening – innovative coating process in large-scale production - New 6.0 W12 TSI with 447 kW (608 PS) – performance and refinement - New generation of EU6 TDI engines for light-duty vehicles Dr.
