1987 Westfalia GL. 4 cylinder, 2.1 liter water cooled engine. 142,584 miles on the body, with the motor rebuilt approx 35,000 miles ago. I purchased this VW in Sept '07 off ebay and have personally put 23,465 miles on it. The VW was never used as my daily driver but used for short road trips; camping and sporting tailgate activities. This is a wonderful, "ready to ride" Westfalia with the complete original camping package. I have added a few major items since I purchased it including new heavy duty bumpers, a "Shady Boy" awning, hardwood floors, an inverter, new carpet and many other items which I will describe below. All general maintenance has been performed and the overall vehicle is solid for its age. I am not an expert in the mechanics of automobiles but will try to answer any questions one may have which isn't addressed below or shown in the images. I am available night/day for anyone wishing to view in person or test drive "Rose". ** I have included a scanned image of the autocheck on the vehicle which the previous owner included when he listed it on ebay. ** EXTERIOR: Body and paint is in good shape. There are a few minor dings here and there. There is a noticable dent below the rear window, causing the wiper to not work. There is also a significant, foot long crimp on the trim above the back left tire where the only noticable rust appears. The front white paint is slightly different than the balance of the vehicle. The windows are dent/crack free. One headlight lense is cracked. The beefy bumpers are metal tubed with diamond plate accent, including a rear trailer hitch. The high power headlight kit has been added as have fog lamps. The outside connections for water (hose included), electricity (x-long cord and adapters included), and the propane connections are in working order. The windows have been deep tinted, giving excellent privacy and a sharp visual appearance. The Hankook 8 ply tires are very good with less than 25,000 miles. I have replaced all trim moldings, installed new poptop seals and added wind/rain window deflectors. I have recently installed new rear hatch struts so the hatch stays up great. The radio antenna works great but probably should be replaced as it is hanging on (I have the replacement). The roof, including luggage department are excellent shape. The sunroof works but does leak in extreme rain but is an inexpensive replacement. Overall for an almost 30 year old vehicle I would say the exterior to be very good. Note: I have a never used custom fitted vehicle cover and a new set of wheel rims if you wish to replace to the pained red ones on it now, I will include these. INTERIOR: New carpet kit has been installed. Laminate wood floor has been laid down in the rear floor. All upholstery is original and in really good shape. The dash is crack free and in great shape. The headliner is in great shape. The power locks work great however the power windows are hit or miss. The front door panels although in good shape do have some warping. The upper bunk pad is in excellent shape as is the lower seat/bed. I have installed custom curtains. Many of the bulbs, the dash bulbs and the rear light are all LED. The water storage tank, pump and sink are excellent. The refrigerator does work on electricity and propane however I only used the fridge for storage. The 2 burner stove works great. The VW has the 2nd deep cycle battery and charges as the motor is on. I have "dry camped" for as many as 8 days utilizing inverter off the deep cycle battery only for water pump, and phone charging, radio, etc. The popup tent is original and is in good shape with only the screen having rips (replacement kits are available). I had a new air conditioner system installed in 2007 and it keeps the rear passengers cool. I have the original front snap-in privacy curtain and also the rear snap-in screened curtain. There is a cd/radio player installed as well an amp located behind the driver seat. All cabinet doors, and the table are in perfect condition. The deep cycle marine battery indicator light works perfectly. A console in front has been installed. The rear swing out table is in great shape. MECHANICALLY: The previous owner spent $3200.00 at 112,000 miles having the motor rebuilt (there is a scanned image of the invoice/work). I believe I have only replaced the water pump about 12,000 miles ago, possibly some belts on the motor. The motor runs great. The alignment is great with no pull. I average 18-20 MPG and even when fully loaded with a tank of water I can cruise comfortably at 70 mph on interstate. The transmission runs good but it does need the seals replaced. I haven't had the time to replace, but I do have the kit which is included. The transmission fluid does and will leak until replaced, otherwise it still runs smooth. I have what is to believed to be all maint. records from when the VW was purchased and will turn these over to the buyer. This has been a great vehicle for myself and my once lifestyle. I just don't have the time anymore to head out on long camping weekends. I have probably put less than 100 miles on it over the past 12 months. As I stated, this is ready to ride and enjoy now for the weekend enthusiast but some simple, inexpensive fixes would make it truly worry-free as a daily ride. For the VW lovers and ones who love to restore and "pimp their rides" this is a solid base Westfalia. The VW is sold as-is, with no warranty and no returns of deposits or partial payments. Please do not bid if you do not intend to purchase based on the terms stated within. I will try to answer all emails quickly and will include my telephone number if you would prefer to communicate via phone. I welcome all communication, and will accomodate anyone wishing to view or test drive in person.

2015 VW e-Golf gets cheaper Limited Editon, starts at $33,450*
Thu, Mar 5 2015Typically when an automaker announces a new limited edition of one of its models, it comes at a premium. Maybe the extra cost turns out to be worth it due to bundled options, but there's almost always a cost. But not with the new Volkswagen e-Golf Limited Edition. For this model, VW has gone the opposite direction by cutting equipment out of the electric hatchback and charging less for it. Compared to the SEL Premium model, the Limited Edition of the e-Golf drops the alloys in favor of 16-inch steel wheels, halogen headlights in place of LEDs, cloth upholstery instead of leatherette, and drops the heat-pump system. As a result, the e-Golf costs $2,000 less, priced at $33,450 (*before delivery) and available to lease for $229 per month. For that, you still get the electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque, 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and 7.2 kW onboard charger and class-leading energy consumption. VOLKSWAGEN ANNOUNCES A NEW TRIM LINE FOR THE FULLY-ELECTRIC 2015 e-GOLF - e-Golf Limited Edition model goes on sale with a starting price of $33,450 - Drivetrain consists of 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque; 7.2 kW onboard charger is standard - Standard fast charging capability allows up to 80 percent battery charge in 30 minutes - EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 116 combined MPGe puts e-Golf at top of the 2015 EPA Compact Size Class - A great value, with a host of features that include KESSY® Keyless access with push-button start, navigation system, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with C-shaped light signature, and more Herndon, VA – Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced that a lower-priced version of the fully-electric 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf will go on sale at participating dealerships. The 2015 e-Golf Limited Edition is priced nearly $2,000 less than its SEL counterpart at $33,450, without compromising performance, quality, or versatility. The e-Golf Limited Edition is also available at a monthly lease price of $229, plus applicable fees. The e-Golf Limited Edition is built on the same sporty Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform as the rest of the award-winning Golf family. It is powered by a compact electric motor and a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (built in-house at the Volkswagen facility in Braunschweig, Germany), and offers 115 horsepower and class-leading torque of 199 pound feet.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.
