With much hesitation I am listing my Westy up for sale. I love this van, and it has done multiple trips and even DD it for a few months without any problems. I bought this van sight unseen, flew to NY and drove it back all the way to NC without a hickup. Just turn key and drive away. While getting great gas mileage.
Only reason I'm selling is b/c I am about to start back up with school full time, and don't think I'll have a chance to do any trips for a few years, and don't want it sitting the whole time. I know once I get in it and take a trip off to see family in Texas, or Central Florida I'll probably change my mind though.
Located in North Florida. Like I said, I love this van, and will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Call/text (609) 408.3916 -Josh
Have a book of receipts with over $15,000 worth of add-on, turning this thing into a lean, mean, gas-sipping, hippy panty dropping, touring machine.

This isn't a project Westy that needs work to run. This van is fully functional and ready to go. I bought these items b/c I planned on traveling/living in this thing. Have decided to go back to school though, so instead of sitting, I'm offering it to another traveler.
I'll keep adding once I break out the receipt book, and remember everything done.
Bad:
1) Fill tube from gas tank has a small crack, (common problem), doesn't pose a problem unless you fill completely to the top, I usually stop 1/2 gal short of filling it up and it won't leak.
2) Appears it was in a minor accident at one point, and the back hatch has a couple spots where the filler has cracked.
3) Has a small amount of the typical seem rust. No cancer, just the small seem rust that any Vanagon owner has to deal with constantly. You can pick it away, rust convert it, and it will come back, just one of those things about a vanagon. No vanagon is truly rust free. When I had the fridge out, I checked the whole driver side wall and no rust issue was there.

VW still set on Phaeton redux despite cost-cutting drive and losing $32k per car
Wed, Jan 28 2015While critically well regarded, the Volkswagen Phaeton has proven to be a vehicle largely unloved by luxury buyers around the world. Despite this, it refuses to die. While VW's luxury sedan hasn't been sold in the US since 2006 due to low sales here, it has soldiered on in Europe with occasional updates. As the model's long lifespan has been winding down, VW has decided to keep pushing the Phaeton into a new generation, despite in-house alternatives like the Audi A8 and Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The move might not make much business sense, but Volkswagen executives are determined to make the Phaeton work. According to market analysts speaking to Reuters, developing the next-gen luxury sedan on the MLB platform could cost as much as 650 million euros ($737 million), despite relying on the same underpinnings in the A8. It's not like the Phaeton is leading the luxury sedan sales ranks, either. Reuters notes VW produced just 5,812 of them in 2013 (the most current year with data), and from 2002 to 2012, the automaker reportedly lost 28,000 euros ($32,000) on each example sold. Conversely, Mercedes-Benz sold 103,737 units of its new S-Class in 2014, an astonishing 82.2 percent jump over the previous year. The decision to keep the Phaeton going doesn't seem to square with the VW brand's cost-cutting strategy. Boss Martin Winterkorn announced last year a plan to save 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) annually in the coming years. That plan reportedly also includes killing off less profitable models. Apparently, VW can't just rip off the band-aid and get rid of the Phaeton. Even some VW bosses seem somewhat perplexed at the sedan's business case. When Reuters asked the company's US boss Michael Horn about selling the Phaeton here, he said. "That's a dangerous question. It's an image bearer with no relevance for volume." The next-gen Phaeton is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2017 or 2018, according to Reuters, which is about a year later than previous rumors. A US launch will reportedly follow in 2018 or 2019 with the plug-in hybrid and potentially even diesel versions on offer. A starting price around $70,000 is estimated.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
