There are a few small dings/scratches, a little oxidization on the paint but no rust. Interior is in fair condition. Some staining on front floorboard carpet, Power Window switches need repair and a small hole on driver's seat, upholstery on cushions in both sleeper berths are in great shape. On April12,2013 I had this vehicle inspected by my local shop and they compiled a list of mechanical issues that need attention. It needs a complete tune-up. Belts (including AC belt) need to be replaced. Brake master and front brake hoses are leaking. Power Steering pressure switch is leaking and Power Steering hoses are leaking at crimps. Shocks need to be replaced. Engine mounts are broken. Transmission output shaft is leaking. I recognize that there is a significant amount of work required to upgrade this vehicle's condition, and that is reflected in the deep discount of the sale price."

An Excellent Platform for Restoration! 

Thank you for your interest in this 1990 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia.  We purchased this vehicle from Pop Top Heaven (Yucaipa, CA location) in March 2005.  It features two sleeper berths, a stove, sink, and refrigerator. Of course, there is ample cabinet space for everything you'll want to have close at hand.  As you may know by now, this vehicle was specifically designed and built in Germany to be the ultimate road-trip machine.  I'm happy to place this example of that achievement on auction for your consideration.  I will make every effort to disclose any issues that I am aware of with the vehicle, and I am willing to answer questions or to provide additional photos for serious buyers.  However, if you are not interested making the investment to restore this Westy, it may not be the vehicle for you.  

Although it will start, run, and drive, I cannot honestly recommend using this vehicle for any road-trip (or as a daily driver) upon delivery.  It has a number of mechanical issues that should be addressed prior to prolonged use.  Some of these repairs can be made by any auto shop, or by a competent driveway mechanic, but some issues may require the expertise of an auto shop that specializes in European imports.  If you are not able to make the repairs yourself, I would suggest asking around to line up a shop to do it for you before bidding. If you are up to the challenge of reconditioning this vehicle, you will have more than just a car to take you places... 

You will have a car to experience places.   

Please consider the following before bidding.      

This vehicle starts and runs but needs a lot of TLC.  The body is in good condition. There are a few small dings/scratches, some oxidization on the paint but no rust.  Interior is in fair condition.  There is some staining on front floorboard carpet. The Power Window switches need repair and there is a small hole on driver's seat.  The upholstery on cushions in both sleeper berths are in great shape.  The tenting of the pop top has a tear in it.

If you believe that you are the right person, I invite you to place a bid now.  You just might be surprised by the LOW RESERVE price!   

I will provide the original factory manuals, and can provide all vehicle maintenance and repair documentation since 2005 if requested.

Delivery arrangements are the sole responsibility of the buyer.  I will make every effort to facilitate the transfer of the vehicle to the buyer or an auto courier service acting on behalf of the buyer.

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map

Thu, May 31 2018

BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.
