I have decided to sell the all original 1991 Westfalia that my kids and I were going to camp in this summer. I bought it a few months ago in Washington and drove it home. I need to sell it to pay some debt off. I have a '79 Riviera in the home stretch of a preservation resto, so don't feel sorry for the kiddos, we will camp! I have replaced some little odds and ends, including skylight, skylight knob, skylight seal, all four small plastic hubcaps (2 were missing.) The front table was missing so I ordered one along with one knob. All parts were ordered from Gowesty. This Westy runs and drives great. The 2.1 with auto trans really pushes it down the road just fine, in my opinion it has plenty of power. In fact, in comparison to the automatic bay windows i have driven it really scoots. It shifts as it should and there are no funky noises. No leaks either, not counting a slight trans fluid leak that is coming from the fitting in the pan where the dipstick tube goes in, which should be an easy fix. It hasnt leaked enough since ive owned it to even register lower on the stick. The engine leaves zero oil on the ground and does not smoke at all. Runs quiet and smooth. Will need a catalytic converter/ muffler at some point. It isn't loud, but there is some noise coming from the catalytic converter, which means that some of the platinum inside has broken loose. Common and a bolt-on, but worth mentioning. Previous owner claimed the engine had a piston/cylinder rebuild at about 120k. It sure runs like new but I have no proof of this. As far as equipment goes, here is the rundown: Fridge works on propane, 110 and 12v. Stove works great, both burners Pump for sink does not work, either the switch is bad or the small inexpensive submersible pump needs replaced. Canvas on pop top is very good except a section in the rear that was "left outside" when top was put down. I chose not to replace as it could be repaired and kept original if new owner prefers. What this Westy has going for it is a super carfax, original paint, which means that what you see is what you get, unlike some of the "fully restored" vans that are sometimes offered. Meaning it hasn't been messed with, which is the way to buy a used vehicle. This is not perfect or restored, it is however well kept and all original which speaks volumes. I welcome and prefer phone calls from serious bidders. This van has a clean WA title and the carfax looks to show 4 owners, if I'm reading it right. Please call with any questions and personal inspection is welcome if prospective buyers are near or willing to come to Coos Bay, Oregon. Shipping is to be secured and financed by new owner. Thank you for taking the time to review my add, and good luck if you decide to bid! This van is ready to do some serious camping this summer! Matt 541-294-6911

Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises

Fri, Dec 29 2017

It's that time of year again. The calendar is about to reach its end, Star Trek Cats 2018 is about to take its place, and I'm reflecting about all the cars that graced my driveway this year or summoned me to exotic places. You know, like Stuttgart or Phoenix. In 2017, I drove at least 57, and as I perused the list of them, I started to notice a common refrain: "This car surprised me." Most were pleasant surprises, but there were a few head scratchers and facepalms for good measure. In both cases, it was generally the result of car companies seemingly trying to break out of an existing mold. Nowhere was that more apparent than the pair of Lexuses slathered in Infrared paint: The LS 500 that left me this week and the LC 500 that was my favorite car of 2017. Though Lexus has been trying to shake its crusty, gold-packaged reputation for some time now, its efforts always seemed like an old man choosing Hollister to redo his wardrobe after realizing it hasn't been updated since 1987. I fell in love with the LC, genuinely floored by its near-perfect take on the GT. It's characterful in sound, appearance and tactility. It was at home in the city, in the mountain and on the open road. It was both comfortable and thrilling, and after driving the mechanically related LS 500, I can report that the LC's talents aren't an outlier. The LS 500's turbo V6 may make different noises than the LC's naturally aspirated V8, but it nevertheless invigorates the cabin when the car is placed in Sport+ mode. The steering is truly communicative, body motions are kept in miraculous check, and I absolutely forgot I was in an enormous luxury limo ... and a Lexus one at that. It was everything that the BMW 530e was not. I drove that on the exact same roads and was utterly bored the entire time. Generally doughy, lifeless steering, more distant than Planet 9. And no, the plug-in hybrid powertrain had nothing to do with that. At least it shouldn't. The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid I also drove this year proves that, as do the Hyundai Ioniqs, which are surprisingly adept and fun little cars regardless of what powers their wheels (Hyundai + hybrid = fun really blew me away). I would drive that Lexus LS F Sport over the BMW 5 Series any day of the week, which seems like a shocking thing to say in relation to either car. While Lexus is seemingly breaking out of its old crusty mold, BMW seems to be climbing into one.

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
