This is my personal van that I've poured tons of money and time into in the last few years.  It's a very reliable machine and has been modified fairly tastefully as far as these go.  I've driven this all over my state and rehabbed most of the things that break over their years of owner neglect.  I will not sell to anyone outside of the continental United States.  I will not assist with any form of shipping at all.  The winning bidder must deposit 500.00 via PayPal with the remainder due in person upon pick-up of the vehicle.

1991 vanagon carat in pastel white interior excellent shape with no staining on the upholstery.  The rear mattress has a small cigarette burn and the slider door card is missing -all else is in great shape.  The interior was removed before pergo was laid down to give a finished "wall to wall" look.  Dash is perfect with no cracking, all gauges work as intended.  Oil temp and pressure gauges are added to the lower dash to aid in engine monitoring.

Stereo-Sony iPod ready head unit with custom door enclosures housing 5-1/4 and 4" speakers along with relocating the window switches.  Everything now works as intended.  Door window switches roll the windows up as intended without having to do the gowesty mod (I disliked it).  New 4" speakers are located in the rear factory locations and Sony 6x9" are located in the hatch.  The stereo now has eight total speakers and everything stays with the van.

Brakes-fronts are Mercedes sl500 2 piston calipers with vented rotors.  This involves a stud conversion kit so no more wheel bolts up front.  Rotors are @60mm oversized 16"wheels are necessary for this van. Stopping power is excellent.
Rears are eurovan discs.  This solid disc uses a caliper actuated parking brake that holds great. All brake parts have @. 4000miles on them and are still practically new.  

Wheels/tires-wheels are audi a4 16" alloys these have been properly machined to fit.  Proper length press fit rear studs and threaded front studs were bought to make these a safe fitment.  Tires are cooper rst 60,000 mile tires 98t load just purchase from sears in June.  These are also nearly new.

Suspension steering-new shocks, upper a-arm bushings, ball joints, used Westy springs to lift 2", new inner tie rods, new outer tie rods, rebuilt rack and pinion, aligned 6/30/2013, new power steering lines, new rear wheel bearings (zerked), new cv boots packed.

Transmission-gasket kit this trans is a cleaned and inspected unit that has been resealed from a donor with 151,000miles on it.  It was very clean inside no metal.  A 1990 trans that does not hack e the defective 3/4 slider issues.  Used trans installed with new clutch, synthetic fluid, machined flywheel. 

Engine-new gowesty billet thermostat housing, stainless water pump pipe, stainless oil cooler pipes, coolant hose kit,  new injectors, new belts, new tune up kit, new oil sensors, new o2sensor.  Runs very well oil pressure and temps are kept within range . Just a strong running stock water boxer.  This has vw heads on it (not amc) but there are obvious signs of a reseal being done on it.  I've run it for 2000 miles and bee impressed,the previous engine owner stated it was rebuilt within the last 80k.

Hvac-new rear heater core, front blower motor, a/c drier and expansion valve.

Things that don't work-
Rear hatch and slider central lock motors do not activate.  Both fronts do.  I never looked into anything else further to pick it apart.  Extra central locking parts come with it.  Cruise control is sketchy.  Sometimes it kicks out on you. Those are the knowns. 

I have been all over this van.   I just can't put any more money into it.  Bottom line is I have too many projects and I have to cut my losses. Winning bidder gets my receipts for over 4000.00 that I can account for along with two previous owners worth of documentation.

 Please only bid if you have the money and means to come get this.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
