This van has been my baby for years, and now it is with a heavy heart that I must find her a great new home! Volkswagen only made the diesel version of this very popular camper for one year, so they are quite rare! The original stock engine was only 1.6 liters, and was woefully underpowered to run the vehicle. I have had a brand new 1.9 liter engine installed, and it has less than 2000 miles on it!!! It goes somewhat without saying that the attraction of the diesel engine is its ability to run on biodiesel, and the ease with which it could be converted to run on straight grease. The upgrade in power has really helped with speed on the highway and up steep grades. The engine has never smoked, it has no leaks, runs at just the right temp, and starts easily in the cold. Nearly all of the important mechanical components of the van have been replaced and upgraded. I have a pile of receipts from both myself and the previous owner, and the van has been recently serviced by the fine folks at Asheville Vee Dub here in North Carolina. They work exclusively on the repair and restoration of old Volkswagens, and really know their stuff. In all, it runs beautifully. In terms of the camping equipment, the stove and the sink work great, while the fridge has never functioned. All of the electrical stuff in the van has been fixed-sockets, lights, etc. There is an auxiliary battery installed under the front seat which allows you to run the electrical equipment while parked without draining the battery in the engine. This makes camping extremely comfortable and easy!! The pop-top is in decent shape-it is original, and has a few repaired tears. The mattresses are also original-they have some wear and tear but they’re completely comfortable and functional. The van is missing the front table that sits behind the driver’s seat, but the table that swings over the backseat is in great condition. The two front seats have a lot of wear in the upholstery, so I’ve covered the chairs with soft covers and I’ve always found it comfortable that way. If you’re interested in getting it back into mint condition, it would need a paint job, though the great news is that there is really no rust to speak of on the whole body of the vehicle. Rust is generally the kiss of death in these cars, so to have one with no rust is quite valuable. I have had some of the best times of my life in this van, with my boyfriend and his young son, on road trips, at festivals, camping, and just generally traveling together. It is very special to me, and I’ve made sure over the years that it’s gotten all of the attention it deserved. It is truly a rare find, and I hope that whomever drives away with it will feel the same way! So, without further ado, here’s the total rundown: -Brand new 1.9 liter Diesel Engine, less than 2000 miles!! -Brand new clutch, installed at the same time as the engine -4 Brand new tires, also less than 2000 miles -Radiator less than 3 years old -Alternator 1 year old -Brand new Starter -Stove and Sink run perfectly -Original stock radio with two old and two new speakers -GoWesty Auxiliary Battery Kit installed -Fully functional electrical equipment -Fully functional sink and stove -Pop-top in great working shape **I am willing to consider delivery on a case by case basis, with travel cost reimbursement!!** |

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Ready for Rent, MOIA comes to US in 2018
Mon, Dec 12 2016Daimler is launching its "Smart Ready to Rent" service in Europe. Beginning this month in German and French cities, the rental scheme bridges the gap between short-term Car2go rentals and longer leases. Customers book the Smart model of their choice – including the emissions-free Electric Drive and the hotter Brabus versions – for a period of one day up to three months. As such, Smart Ready to Rent is useful to those who live outside of an urban center. Users can book a car online or through a dealer, and vehicles are collected and returned at the dealership. Read more at Green Car Congress. Volkswagen will launch its MOIA mobility arm in the US in 2018. The recently announced brand will take on public transportation as a competitor with services such as ride hailing and car sharing. VW is looking into forging partnerships with the likes of technology and ride sharing companies. The automaker also expects to show an electric shuttle-type concept in 2017 for pooling services, but will use the three-row VW Atlas crossover in the meantime until that concept reaches production. Look to see MOIA emerging in major cities along the US coasts. Read more at Automotive News. A new report from Lux Research suggests that most EV batteries are better off being recycled than reused. Once lithium-ion batteries have outlived their usefulness for automotive duty, some automakers (BMW, Nissan, and Toyota included) are looking at ways to use their remaining capacity, such as for stationary energy storage. The new report, though, says that reusing batteries offers "questionable returns on account of reduced performance." Better to be like Tesla, and just recycle them. Read more at Hybrid Cars.
