1986 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper
You are looking at a 1986 VW Westfalia Camper. This is essentially the final version of the Westfalia Vanagons the way they were built until 1991. It has the stronger 2.1 liter
water cooled engine, the newer ducts and the cooling system like all the later models ('86 and up) have.
It is in nice condition and we have had it serviced at a local VW shop. Amongst other things, the following was done: Engine compression test check (Checked out very well),
Replaced overflow and extra coolant tank, Flushed old sulphate free coolant and replaced it with new sulphate free coolant (important if you do not want your engine walls to corrode), Replaced ingnition and had the central locking system repaired.
It is a very clean camper since it is a California car. It has original paint and it has virtually no rust with two exceptions, which are as classic for these Vans as the vans themselves: One quarter size rust spot under the front windshield and one also about quarter size rust spot on the bottom right hand side of the rear window. The rear window rust has a little hole. There are a couple of dents in the driver side door but nothing major. Everything works as it should and the AC blows ice cold since the previous owner had replaced all the ducts and the AC unit. The refrigerator works fine on both settings: electric and gas. The kitchen is very clean and everything works great including sink and stove. All the trim for the pop up top has been replaced which means no cracked rubber seals and no leaks. The pop up camper works like new and the Van still has the original "single window" fabric with no holes or tears. In case you are wondering: The Westfalia sleeps four people: Two on the lower level bed and two on the upper (pop up). The exhaust system is a stainless steel version and is also in great shape. The Vanagon just recently passed CA smog without issues. The engine is strong and the tires have a lot of tread left. This Vanagon comes with all original locks and also still has the original locked gas cap with one VW key opening every lock. The tires were upgraded to the 16" "Go Westy" wheels and the wheels have been custom chromed. All windows with exception to the front windshield have been tinted professionally. No bubbles or nasty wrinkles. If you didn't know they are tinted, you wouldn't notice. The car comes with the original curtains and additional curtains to cover the front windshield and the driver and passenger windows for privacy. We took the car for a 1000 mile road trip recently and everything is fine. The engine in this Vanagon is the second one and it has roughly 100k miles on it. It is an original non rebuilt engine which was taken from a donor Van. This should be good for at least another 150k miles before it needs a rebuild. The transmission shifts nicely but (for full disclosure) it does have a slight hesitation shifting into third. I think this is all that I could say about the car. This wil be a reliable and solid camper for years to come and when it eventually will need some attention, it will be worth it, since these are quite collectible vehicles at this point. One last thing: The '86 year model is the last year where they still used the more beautiful chrome bumpers instead of the plastic ones. These look beautiful and are in very nice shape. Please understand that this is a 27 year old car and while I have described everything I know about this car, I am not offering any kind of warranty or guarantees. The Van is sold as is.

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
