 This 1982 Westfalia was bought by our folks in 1984 and we have owned it for the last fifteen years. It has been very well taken care of and has been a Colorado rust free vehicle its whole life. I have personally maintained this van and have kept it in tip top shape as the years have gone by. I may miss some details of things I have done over the years but several things are as follows, replaced all fuel lines and tank seals last summer, rebuilt engine roughly 5000 miles ago, new clutch 5000 miles ago, brakes last summer, tires last summer (weight appropriate I might add), all of the fuel injection parts were replaced 5000 miles ago except for the computer itself, I ever so often would remove the wax and touch up the paint chips and control/remove any tiny rust spots that come from gravel road outings, many van owners haven't taken steps to protect their metal and it shows our van speaks for itself rust free and good looking. Now as for the futures you are looking for in a camper the top pops up in seconds and comes down just as quick, the canvas is perfect, this rv sleeps four two up top two on bottom, it has a very convenient little closet, water tank and sink with running water, two burner stove with stainless steel pull down counter top that covers the burners and allows you two convert the stove top into a counter top, refrigerator that runs on gas battery and electric, this van has the very rare built in camping furnace which is located under the van and when operating blows air into the van just like a ready heater it works perfectly and I have taken care of its maintenance also, their are many neat little features to this camper that i would be happy to tell/teach you about but you may either already know these vehicles pretty well or just have to discover some of them when you own one.

The important part to know about our van is that it is in perfect working order and ready for years of enjoyment. It is not a fixer upper that will cost you a bunch of money. If you keep up on its maintenance like our family has always done it will last you just as many years and go and go.

The only things about this van that are bad is #1 the odometer stopped counting miles two years ago. We have only taken two 500 mile trips in it since this happened and I would estimate altogether we have driven under 1500 miles since it quit.
#2 I have always wanted to get a custom paint job done in a watery blue tie die color but the paint has held up so good that every time I detail it out its to good to spend the money. Take a close look in the pictures and you will see that if you keep this van waxed and washed it still looks great.

We are only letting this go because as a family we have outgrown it and it has not been used much in the last three to five years. We have enjoyed being Westfalia owners and would really like to see someone who would use this and enjoy it as we have get it.

I will add one last thing that is extremely important to know since this is a vehicle you will be living in on occasion, we are very clean people and this is a very clean van, we have always used free bedding and extra padding and when you use this vehicle as a home on wheels you will be glad to have one this clean. Oh and yes it has all of its curtains and even has the original ice cube trays that came with it brand new. Also has books jack and tools. I'll do my best to answer questions you may have but rest assured this is a good Westy with nothing to hide.

Volkswagen forced to sell stake in Suzuki

Mon, Aug 31 2015

The six-year-long failed marriage between Volkswagen and Suzuki has finally come to an end. Almost. An arbitration panel in London issued its final verdict which, according to a VW press release, cleared Suzuki in terminating the agreement, so VW now needs to get rid of its 19.9-percent share. However, the tribunal's decision said VW performed all of its obligations and Suzuki didn't – the Japanese carmaker should have given VW last-call rights for a delivery of diesel engines, but failed to. The breach opens Suzuki up to damage claim, but so far VW only says it reserves the right to sue. Now that Suzuki has an outside investor to provide funds it meant to get from VW, perhaps both can get back to their reasons for being. The press release is below. Ruling in arbitration proceedings: Cooperation between Volkswagen and Suzuki deemed terminated - Arbitral tribunal confirms Volkswagen met contractual obligations and finds that Suzuki has ordinary right to terminate agreement based on reasonable notice - Volkswagen to dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects positive effect on Company's earnings and liquidity from transaction - Arbitrators also find that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has right to claim damages Wolfsburg, 30 August 2015 - An arbitral tribunal in London has announced its ruling in the dispute between Suzuki Motor Corporation and Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. As a result, cooperation between the two parties is deemed terminated. The arbitrators confirmed that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement and found that Suzuki has terminated the agreement upon reasonable notice. Volkswagen will therefore now dispose of its 19.9 percent stake in Suzuki and expects a positive effect on the Company's earnings and liquidity from the transaction. The arbitral tribunal also confirmed that Suzuki breached its contractual obligations to Volkswagen under the agreement and that Volkswagen has the right to claim damages. "We welcome the clarity created by this ruling. The tribunal rejected Suzuki's claims of breach and found that Volkswagen met its contractual obligations under the cooperation agreement. Nevertheless, the arbitrators found that termination of the cooperation agreement by Suzuki on reasonable notice was valid, and that Volkswagen must dispose of the shares purchased.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.

VW makes $9.2B offer for rest of truckmaker Scania

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Volkswagen owns or has controlling interests in three commercial truck operations: besides its own, VW began buying shares in Sweden's Scania in 2000 and now controls 89.2 percent of its shares and 62.6 percent of its capital, then bought into Germany's Man in 2006 - in order to prevent Man from trying to take over Scania - and now owns 75 percent of it. The car company has managed to work out 200 million euros in savings, but believes it can unlock a total of 650 million euros in savings if it takes outright control of Scania and can spread more common parts among the three divisions.
It has proposed a 6.7-billion-euro ($9.2 billion) buyout, but according to a Bloomberg report, Scania's minority investors don't appear inclined to the deal. Although effectively controlled by VW, Scania is an independently-listed Swedish company, and a profitable one at that: in the January-September 2013 period its operating profit was 9.4 percent compared to Man's 0.4 percent. Some of the other shareholders believe that Scania is better off on its own and will not approve the deal, some have asked an auditor to look into the potential conflict of interest between VW and Man, while some are willing to examine the deal and "make an evaluation based on what a long-term owner finds is good," which might not be just "the stock market price plus a few percent." The buyout will only be official assuming VW can reach the 90-percent share threshold that Swedish law mandates for a squeeze-out.
Many of the arguments against boil down to investors believing that Scania's Swedishness and unique offerings are what keep it profitable, and ownership by the German car company will kill that. (Have we heard that somewhere before?) If Volkswagen can buy that additional 0.8-percent share in Scania, perhaps its buyout wrangling with Man will give it an idea of what it's in for: "dozens" of minority investors in the German truckmaker have filed cases against VW, seeking higher prices for their shares. It is likely only to delay the inevitable, though. If VW is really going to compete with Daimler and Volvo in the truck market, it has to get the size, clout and savings to do so.
