1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Long Beach, California, United States
1987 VW Vanagon Wolfsburg edition Manual transmission Approximately 150,000 miles Clean title. Registered until April 2015. Please read online about the Wolfsburg edition as it has many options that the more basic models don’t have- including most noticeably a folding table, rear facing jump seats, power front windows and power mirrors. The bed folds out in the back and will sleep three adults – it’s wider than the Westfalia’s I’m told since the Westy’s have the side portion with the sink, stove, storage etc taking up some width. I just bought it recently – several months ago. I had planned to get it in great shape but school loans and other financial challenges have led me to sell it. It runs excellent and the transmission shifts great. I bought it from a very nice older guy in Costa Mesa who owns a shop fixing older German cars. Things I’ve bought already: Bluetooth stereo head unit - $125 from Crutchfield – installed and works great – I use my iphone wirelessly with it. Front & Rear bumpers and kit - $270 from GoWesty – my friend who’s a mechanic swapped the old ones out as they were in bad shape. Brand New tires from Lucky Tires - $360 – these are the ones with the very strong side walls that are supposed to be used for vanagons. Four speakers – two installed in rear, two for doors (not installed yet/will include in sell). Things it needs to be in great shape: The left front power window is not working – needs to be fixed. The rear lights including brake light/s are not working – I didn’t realize this until recently as I rarely drove it at night. The turn signals in the front and rear DO work. The headlights work. The air conditioning and heat iare not currently working - my friend who’s a mechanic said it may just need a charge but he didn’t have time to check for sure. The knobs and levers for the AC and heat are not installed - needs new ones- see photo. Body work and paint job. There are some small rust spots – please see pictures. And there are some dents – most are minor and not very big – except the front left of the van – see pics for all of them. The paint is in bad shape and needs to be completely done over. My friend estimated that the body work and paint will likely cost $1500. There may be other minor things in the interior that need replacing or fixing. Please look at all the photos to see the condition inside and out. The interior lights work - see photos - the one behind the sliding door comes on when open. The longer horizontal one on the opposite side above the table works when turned on. I’m not a mechanic or expert on vanagons but email me with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer. This is a solid running Wolfsburg that can be driven as-is and can be amazing if you take care of the body and paint. My reserve is very low. If you're not local, you pay any shipping fees. I am out of town for the July 4th weekend and cannot show it to locals then. |

VW CEO talks up 20 new plug-in models in Frankfurt
Mon, Sep 14 2015For years now, Volkswagen has dreamed big, forming plans to become the world's largest automaker. That trajectory includes a big plug-in vehicle push, and the CEO of Volkswagen, Martin Winterkorn, said that his group of companies will bring out 20 more EVs and plug-in hybrids by 2020. The list includes the next Phaeton and the Audi A8. "No commitment to electro-mobility can be any clearer than that," Winterkorn said, according to a VW press release. "Our Group already has the largest connected vehicle fleet on the road. By 2020 we will have transformed all of our new cars into smartphones on wheels." Perhaps most illustrative, Winterkorn admitted that the auto industry has turned a corner. "Technological leadership is no longer solely defined in terms of horsepower and torque," he said. "We are taking the precision, enduring value and quality of our cars into the new, digital world." The VW group is also showing off new plug-in concepts in Frankfurt this week, like the Tiguan GTE and the Porsche Mission E. Winterkorn's prepared remarks do not give out the details of these vehicles, but we'll have all the info from the show floor in short order. Stay tuned. PROF. DR. MARTIN WINTERKORN: "THE REINVENTION OF VOLKSWAGEN" 14/09/15 from Volkswagen Group 20 more electric cars and plug-in hybrids by 2020 announced Group not only has broadest electric fleet, but also largest connected vehicle fleet on the road Customers should benefit from automated driving technologies as quickly as possible Volkswagen taking precision, enduring value and quality of its cars into the digital world Wolfsburg/Frankfurt am Main, September 14, 2015 – In the Volkswagen Group, there is a sense that a new era is dawning. On the eve of the 66th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main the CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, said on Monday evening: "We are in the process of reinventing Europe's largest automaker, laying the technological, economic and structural foundations." The Group Chairman announced there would be 20 more electric cars and plug-in hybrids by 2020 – from compact cars to the next Phaeton and Audi A8: "No commitment to electro-mobility can be any clearer than that." He said the Group already had the broadest electric fleet in the automobile world, and added that Volkswagen was also at the forefront when it came to the future-oriented field of digitisation: "Our Group already has the largest connected vehicle fleet on the road.
VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
