Very difficult to find a nice camper this year in this condition, it is a very solid example of a VW Westfalia camper

Although not perfect, it is very presentable and a joy to drive.

It has a newer more powerful engine, that was rebuilt a few years ago, and now has about 25,000 miles on it.  I have receipts for about 5,000 in mechanical work that go with the camper.  The engine runs strong and starts up every time.  The manual transmission shifts as it should.

The outside body of the camper is in very good shape, not a show vehicle, but it is in very good condition.  The undercarriage is solid.

The interior has been redone with new material very recently.  There are new hard wood floating floors installed.  The interior is in very good shape. 

The camper comes with the factory sink and ice box, then a buddy seat with a heater underneath(the heater is not connected).  The camper also runs off of a gas heater with separate exhaust.  The top folds up and there is a bed that extends out.  There is also a bed that can be used over the front driver and passenger seat.  When the bench seat in the back folds out, you can sleep up to two people.  There is a ripe in the canvass when the top is up.  There are no leaks inside the camper.  The windshield will have to be replaced as there is a crack. 

Aside from the engine being rebuilt, the front has new calipers, rotors, and brake pads.  The power booster is acting up, and may have to be replaced, but it stops fine.

There is an awning, not shown, that goes with the camper.

 

The camper is located in Surrey, British Columbia.  Arrangements can be made to have it taken to Bellingham, WA, at an additional cost of 200.00, or the unit can be picked up in BC. 

 

Please bid only if you are serious about purchasing the camper.  Once you have committed to the puchase, this is not an opportunity to check out the camper afterwards, after the auction ends. Ask all questions prior to auction close. 

 

thank you

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013


Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
