New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

1989 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper Van!  
A perfect vehicle to take for a road trip, camp anywhere you pull over, and yet still be able to park in any major city.  

Air Condition!, Power Steering, Automatic Windows, CD, 2 beds (Can sleep 4), Refrigerator, 2 burner stove, Sink, Outside Awning, Rear Hatch Bug Screen, Front Full Dash Privacy Cover,  Electric & Water hookups, Hidey Hole Shift Knob.  It has a "Refurbished" title as I was in an accident (you can see the damage on the driver's side of the vehicle) and the insurance company marked it as a salvaged vehicle.  A full inspection by State Police Inspector was completed on 5/29 and the title was changed to Rebuilt / Reconstructed and is fully licensed for road use.  The functionality of the vehicle has been in no way affected and it always gets me where I want to go with no issue.  It has been my super fun daily driver but I'm heading out of the country so it's time to let someone else have the fun.  I'm the 3rd owner, was told that the engine was rebuilt by previous owner but there is no documentation on this.  Clutch, Radiator Pump, Starter, Sink Faucet recently replaced.  Tires replaced in November 2011 and still have good tread.  Air condition was just charged and blowing cold.  Undercarriage is looking good.  New Water pump for the sink comes with the van, I never found time to install it.  The odometer stopped working about 2 years ago so I can only guess at the mileage being in the early 200,000 area, there is a tear in the driver's seat upholstery, a couple rust spots around the window seals and at the driver's side damage area, a tear in the canvas at the rear, front fan blower needs replaced, and you'll need to purchase a new handle for the inside of the sliding door.  Take a look at the video below to get a good idea.
 
It is 25 years old and there is some maintenance and upkeep that will need to be invested in, but all in all this a a great vehicle that runs wonderfully and has many more years of fun to offer a new owner.  The vehicle is being offered AS-IS with NO RESERVE!! I purchased the vehicle through Ebay in 2008 and got a great deal and I feel it should be offered up the same way. Please be committed to purchasing when placing your bid.  
Terms: $500 deposit due by paypal within 24hours after the auction has ended and full payment by bank transfer or cashiers check within 72hours after the auction has ended.   The vehicle must be picked up in New Orleans, LA by July 27 at the very latest    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good Luck &Happy Bidding!!!

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery

Tue, Apr 1 2014

When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.
