I can't believe the day has come that I am posting my van for sale. And if you are looking for one, I hope you have found this.

I am selling my 1987 volkswagen vanagon gl westfalia camper van! I don't know where to begin with this and hopefully you know a thing or two about these vans. This van is the ultimate adventure/camping/recreational vehicle. It is a 4 speed manual van. It has a sink, a stove, and a fridge. It has two beds (pop top), many different closets and compartments, and an incredible sound system. Etc Etc Etc. There is too much to write about. 

I am the second owner of this van. I bought it from the lady who used to sell me donuts as a kid. Her husband passed away and the van was never used, so my family and I offered to buy it. I bought it with 60,000 miles on it, and it now has 151,400. I have loved this van dearly for the last ten years, and I almost can't believe I'm putting it up for sale. 

I have traveled all over north america in my van. Many, many camping adventures, countless festivals, tailgates, and even provided me with a place to live on a few different occasions. This van is full of unlimited potential, and it really can change your life. Or at least add to it. 

I moved a few years ago and registered the van non-op and stored it for 2 years. Since then I have moved back re-registered it, currently registered until sept 2015, and with many hopes of doing more camps and adventures, I have not. With a change in jobs (location) the van has turned into my daily driver. I put the last 50k miles on it without any big trips. And that is not what this van is made for. And with not sight of adventures in the near future, I decided its time to sell it. I want to sell it to someone who will put it to it's proper use. A most importantly, a great loving home. 

I have cherished this van and treated it very well. The first thing you will notice is how well it drives. It is a very smooth car and it will put a smile on your (and others) face. You will also notice the sound system. I have a sony deck, and all new speakers, and an 8" powered subwoofer under the rear seat. Any type of music you listen to sounds incredible! You can also plug a dvd player into the deck and have full surround sound as you lay in bed. I would love for you to take a drive and see how great this van is. 

Over the last ten years I have obviously done some work to this van. And you should assume you will too. Last thing I did was replace the steering rack (3 weeks ago), the power steering is smooth as silk now. When registering after non-op I replaced the catalytic converter, new muffler, and had an overall tune up. All work has been done by the fantastic people at Tassi Inc here in Daly City. It also passes smog with no problems. 

The things you will look at replacing or fixing soon depends on your priorities and plans. As of April, the passenger side power window motor went out. (for the second time!) But this is not bad news. I would highly recommend changing to manual windows. For one, the motors go out, but most importantly, when you are camping or anything, it becomes a huge hassle to get keys, turn on van, then roll a window up/down. I can replace this if it is a big selling point. There has almost always been some type of oil or coolant leak, but nothing that ever raised any red flags. There is a small crack in the head that I've just been "gluing" the seals and consistently adding more coolant/oil. If you are planning on a big trip, or running the van pretty hot, I would replace the head. If you replace it, you might as well do the clutch at the same time to save on labor. The clutch is fine now, but I replaced it about 7 years ago, so it wouldn't hurt. There is normal wear and tear, scratches and what not, but no rust, straight body etc. 

If you have any questions, please email or call or text me. I would love to answer anything you want to know. I am in no hurry to sell this van, but if you are interested please let me know. I am looking for a decent price, and a good home, so if you think you want to make this incredible addition to you (or your families) life, please inquire. 

please call for more info and pictures!

Thank you for your time.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019

Thu, Jul 18 2019

PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault

Are more diesel scandals about to erupt?

Fri, Nov 20 2015

More automakers may soon be embroiled, like Volkswagen, in diesel emissions scandals. According to the Daily Kanban, either the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) or the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) will soon announce from 10 to 15 more cases of automakers cheating national diesel emissions rules. The outlet says three of the incidents are attributed to Opel. Studies conducted by the DUH, the University of Applied Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, and the UK's Leeds University found that Opel's diesel Zafira, Corsa, and Vectra models emit more NOx than European regulations allow when tested in ways that go beyond the European testing protocol, such as when done on a four-wheel rolling road instead of a two-wheel rolling road. Opel said the accusations had no merit. Specifically on the Zafira, the DUH asked Opel about the emissions findings, and Opel said that no General Motors software contains any measures to enable cheating. Opel then tested a Zafira of its own "both on a two- and a four-wheel roller dynamometer," finding that "The emission behavior determined in each case does not differ from one another." That makes this a case of he-said-she-said for the moment. The Daily Kanban's sources say the cheating methods "range from the crude to the highly sophisticated," with those at the latter end complex enough to render Volkswagen's methods "pedestrian." As for any automakers who might be named, the matter of real-world emissions exceeding a legal limit doesn't mean a carmaker has designed systems that cheat, it might mean the company designed the car to pass a test.

Weekly Recap: Diesel scandal continues to fuel VW's woes

Sat, Oct 3 2015

Volkswagen's woes continued this week when it was delisted from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and stripped of awards. Senators are also lining up to advocate for criminal and civil action against the automaker, and its consumer reputation is in tatters. Put simply, it's been another rough period for VW. Despite this, the company eked out a sales gain of less than one percent in September, though that was well behind the overall market's performance. Sister brand Audi, which sells a diesel A3, was less affected, posting a 16-percent gain in September. Revelations that Volkswagen rigged millions of diesel-powered cars around the world didn't surface until September 18, so the full sales impact of the ongoing scandal won't likely be felt until October. Meanwhile, VW's image continues to take a beating, and an AutoPacific survey found only one in 14 vehicle owners have a positive opinion of the company. Before the scandal broke, three-quarters of respondents had a positive view of VW. The survey also found 64 percent don't trust Volkswagen, though the same number believe other companies are or may also be using cheating devices to pass emissions tests. "The reputation of diesels has been severely damaged, at least for the short term," Ed Kim, AutoPacific's vice president of industry analysis, said in a statement. Despite the lingering malaise, experts believe VW will recover, just as Toyota and General Motors eventually emerged from their own high-profile controversies. "Consumers have proven through numerous recalls that they are resilient and quickly return to their buying habits," Kim said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Mazda to reveal sports car concept in Tokyo Mazda will bring a curvy sports car concept to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The automaker is being especially coy with the details, only releasing the dark teaser shot that you see to the right and a cryptic statement that suggests the concept "condense[s] Mazda's entire history of sports-car development into a single model." Immediately, speculation abounded this is an RX-7 and RX-8 successor, though Mazda didn't specify what engine the concept will have. Reportedly, the company is still working on rotary engines. Mazda will have a Cosmo Sport 110S on its stand in Tokyo, which pioneered rotary technology in 1967. Read into that what you will.
