1997 Volkswagen Eurovan Camper Van Camper 3-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Leadville, Colorado, United States
I have owned this VW
Eurovan Camper for over one year. I originally purchased the van from a
photographer in Boulder while I was living in Boulder, CO. I was a weekend
warrior in the van until this past summer. I lived in the van for over 4 months
while touring national parks of the west. I had always dreamed of visiting the
splendors of the west on my own schedule and this was the perfect vehicle for
my travels. I have a lifetime of photos and memories from my trip. Fellow VW
owners and other car campers made my trip unforgettable. If you have always dreamed
on traveling in comfort and simplicity, look no further than this reliable RV.
Be prepared you are about to join an elite group of Eurovan Camper owners and
adventurers. Long conversations will ensue about travels and the joy of owning
one of these unique vehicles. I have all the original paper work and
pamphlets neatly organized in a binder with page protectors. I have documented
and saved all receipts and maintenance records. First and foremost this van is
mechanically sound. All maintenance while I owned it and the previous owner
owned it was performed by Indian Peaks Auto (303-413-1163), located at 5757
Arapahoe Ave #D1 in Boulder, CO. These guys are the VW professionals in Boulder
and they can attest to the meticulous maintenance this van has undergone. New
front brake rotors were recently installed by Young’s Ole Volks Home in Bend,
OR. New rear muffler was also recently installed. The previous owner had the vehicle lifted 2
inches and also had 16inch tires installed from the factory 15inch. If you are
doing any kind of adventures in this vehicle or any VW Eurovan Camper, I highly
recommend having this essential upgrade done. I had previously test drove a non-lifted
VW Eurovan Camper and the handling difference is night and day. I encourage you
to do your own research and determine for yourself that the lifted vehicles are
superior. Also it should be noted that the lift provides additional clearance
for the low hanging LP tank and accessories. From the carfax reports I have run, I’m
told I am the 4th owner. During my time as owner I wanted to upgrade
and replace a few things to ensure I would have worry free and comfortable
travels. I designed and installed an adjustable plexi glass organizing system
in the rear wardrobe. I installed new Pioneer speakers throughout the cabin for
a clearer and crisp music experience. I installed a new battery operated Carbon
Monoxide Detector and a new Liquid Petroleum (LP) and Carbon Monoxide detector
that is hardwired into the auxiliary battery. I also installed new heavy duty
locking pop top struts. I also installed a Yakima Roof Rack System and Thule
Ascent 1100 Cargo box for additional gear storage. I had a custom made flannel
fitted sheet for the rear bed. I also purchased a GoWesty Memory foam mattress
topper. New struts on the top above the sink were also installed. There are
custom fitted heavy duty floor mats for the driver and passenger. I took the
time to also cut and install rubber shelving mats in all of the cabinets. I have also installed a K&N air filter. As a camper this vehicle has performed
flawlessly. The LP heater works amazing and can run on & off all night,
because it is supported by an upgraded heavy duty auxiliary battery. The fridge
works great and is normally run at 2 on the scale of 1-5 for cold because of
how efficient it is. Both stove burners work and can be lit at the same time, although
the owner’s manual does not recommend this. The tables work great for eating or
working and both seats swivel around for various seating configurations. Areas of the vehicle that should be
addressed are a crack on the lower portion of the driver side windshield. This
crack has not expanded or grown from the time I have purchased the vehicle,
even with the diverse climate here in Colorado. Since the crack did not spread,
I could not justify replacing the windshield. Minor screen damage on the pop
top camper, please see photos and video. I have done my best to stitch and
repair this screen. These campers in my experience are notorious for screen
damage. Dent from previous owner in the rear hatch on the driver side, please see
photos. Minor scratches on the front of the vehicle from normal road wear.
There was previously an awning installed on the passenger side of the vehicle
that I had removed and body filled back up. Each hole was not bigger than a
dime and was properly repaired. I have taken and uploaded over 100 pictures and a video to flicker, so potential buyers can see every aspect of the vehicle. I have no problem allowing test drives for potential buyers or answering any questions. This vehicle and the trips taken in it have been a highlight of my life. I have full confidence in selling this vehicle as a mechanically sound and clean van. Please note that the bike rack & bike pictured are not included with the sale of this vehicle. |

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Recharge Wrap Up: VW's Last Mile Surfer, Apple's BMW i3
Tue, Jul 28 2015Volkswagen has unveiled its Last Mile Surfer. This little electric scooter – it folds up small enough to fit in the trunk and weighs just 24 pounds – will go on sale next year for around 1,000 euros ($1,100 US), according to VW chairman Martin Winterkorn, as reported by Autocar. Of course, we're wondering why you'd need to pay that much money to avoid walking a mile, but maybe we just haven't walked that far in an interested buyer's shoes. See more at Autocar. Did Apple want to use the BMW i3 as the basis for its own electric car? That's the word from the German magazine Manager, which says that Apple and BMW were talking about using the i3 shell for the plug-in iCar (or whatever) started last fall but are no longer actively taking place, but the two organizations have not totally closed off communication. Read more at Manager or at Green Car Reports. BMW is continuing its efforts to connect your car to your phone in interesting ways with the new EnLighten app. The idea here is to let your phone act as a bridge between alerts about traffic signals and the car, so that notifications can be displayed in the dash instead of on your phone. That should keep more eyes on the road and let drivers minimize those races to the next red light, which will save fuel. At least, it will do so in cities that broadcast that sort of signal information. Read more in the press release below. Traffic City Info Makes Driving in Cities Easier than Ever Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – July 27, 2015... The BMW Group announced today that it is the first manufacturer to bring the EnLighten App, by Connected Signals, into the car. Drivers of BMW Vehicles with iOS Devices will be able to see traffic signal data on the vehicle's display in real time. The EnLighten app makes driving in cities easier by helping the driver anticipate traffic signal changes, which can increase safety and help save fuel by avoiding unnecessary acceleration. The EnLighten app shows the current status of the traffic light in front of the car in real time as well as a countdown to when the signal will change. Based on the current vehicle position, as well as its speed, the EnLighten app offers a recommendation about whether or not to stop for the traffic light or proceed through. An audio alert notifies the driver about a pending change in the signal they are approaching.
Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises
Fri, Dec 29 2017It'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.
