1990 Volkswagen Westfalia Very Nice Condition. This Westfalia was sold new here in the San Diego area so there is No Rust or corrosion. This is a beautiful Westfalia thats been in storeage for quite a few years and I finally got it out and ready for sale. I've had over 70 Westfalias and have restored many VW bugs, vans and more, so I do have alot of experience with Westfalias. I've camped coast to coast and from Mexico to Alaska. I really enjoy working with VWs and especially the Westfalia. If you have had a Westfalia, you know what I'm talking about, the love. Many nights I go out and just sit in my Westfalia, have a beer, relax, listen to music, and just fool around with it. This is the multivan version of the Westfalia so it does not have the stove or refrigerator. I actually prefer this version because most people find they never use the stove or refrigerator, and they are really outdated as well. In about 90% of the full campers I get, the stove, refrigerator and sink look like New. You know why they always look like new, nobody ever uses that stuff. What you Will use is the bed, and it is much larger in this version because it extends into where the stove and frig would be. There are much better refrigerator options such as Frigfreeze and Norco that can be removed when you are not using it - which is most of the time. Check with GO-Westy, they sell a pretty cool frig too, no pun intended. Now for the stove, the first time I cooked in a Westfalia was on a fishing trip 22 years ago, never again ! it smelled like hell for weeks from the smoke and splattered food. You want to cook outside !.. Get a little folding picnic table and a portable propane stove. Anyway.. I just put over 300 hours and thousands of dollars into this Westfalia to make it dependable, and give it a little bit of a custom look. I just installed a new poptop canvas with the three window option, much nicer and heavier duty than the original and much better air flow. I had the top painted to match the body color because I never liked the color the factory used on the poptops, looked odd to me, almost kind of pink. I put on new Westfalia decals front and rear and that sure makes the top look nice. I also installed a new sunroof vent in the top with a new seal and a new mechanism to raise and lower the vent - sunroof. I installed new carpet from "Sewfine Interior Products" very nice carpet. I took the covers off all the bed cushions, and took all the curtains and washed them twice, so they are very nice and clean. I've really detailed the interior as you can see in the pictures. The storeage areas are very clean, all the ashtrays cleaned, I replaced all the cupholders with new ones, rescreened the screens, threshold has been redone, restuffed the front seats, cleaned the headliner, and so much more, even the glove box looks like new inside. Now on the outside, the paint looks very good but does have normal wear - minor scratches and door dings, but very nice for a 23 year old vehicle. Take a look at the paint, you want to know why it looks so good ? I wet sanded the entire body with 2000 grit and then buffed it with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 95. Then I touched up all the chips and waxed it all out with Zymol, that really gives it the car show shine. All that work took over 50 hours, but how do you like the results. I painted all of the door handles and replaced the seals too. I restored the front grilles and even put a new VW emblem in. I also removed the headlights and cleaned out the lenses, see how bright and shiny they look, much better for seeing at night. I replaced the windshield rubber, painted the wiper arms and replaced all the the wiper blades. This Westfalia has a nice AM/FM CD player, and I installed a new antenna too. I've really done alot of work on this Westfalia, from buffing the paint to installing new shocks on the deck lid to putting on new tires. I also had the stock alloy wheels polished out and then painted the center wheel windows silver. I've done this to many sets of wheels and I really like the look. When I got this Westfalia years ago the motor was shot. I just installed a factory rebuilt engine from another van that had about 40,000 miles on it, and this engine does not leak A Drop of oil ! I have to say this Westfalia runs Great !.. This thing starts right up when cold and idles down in about one minute like it should. It just runs and drives great !.. It's so funny, everywhere I go people love this van, it really makes people smile. You just don't see many of these on the road anymore. These Westfalias are a good investment compared to other cars for sale. There is not another vehicle produced after 1981 that has held its value as well as a Westfalia, and these will continue to do so. Looking for a extra nice Westfalia, here you go. If you are interested in this Westfalia please don't email me, give me a call at 619 925-3174 so we can talk, I'm sure we can work out a deal on this Westfalia. 10 emails can be reduced to 1 conversation. Thanks, Jim..

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
VW readying CC Shooting Brake?
Mon, 11 Feb 2013This was bound to happen. Volkswagen's relentless drive for big volume has the brand mining seemingly every niche it can find for additional sales worldwide. And with its CLS Shooting Brake, fellow countryman Mercedes-Benz has already shown that a wagon based off of a "four-door coupe" can look dead sexy and command extra dollars. So it follows that the Volkswagen CC (whose existence is all but directly attributable to the success of the original CLS sedan) will also get a load-lugging variant. That's according to the UK's Autocar, which notes that the five-door will come in the CC's next generation.
According to the report, the next CC will be available in front and all-wheel drive variants with the usual assortment of gas and diesel four-cylinders found in the Wolfsburg empire, with the possibility of a gas plug-in hybrid model, too. The rakish estate will ride atop VW's MQB architecture, a shorter variant of which is also found underneath the new Golf. The scalable chassis is set to spread like kudzu throughout the company's lineup, but the CC probably won't happen until after the launch of the next European-market Passat in 2015.
Will we get it in North America? Hard to say. Volkswagen sells the standard CC saloon here, but not in particularly large numbers, and when the company moved to a North American-specific Passat, it dumped the wagon variant. The traditional VW estate apparently continues to pick up sales momentum abroad, however, making the CC Shooting Brake a seemingly natural fit for buyers who still want the utility of a two-box form but can afford to sacrifice a bit of cargo room in the name of style.
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
