We are selling our 2000 Eurovan as we have moved on to a bigger vehicle capable of heavy towing. We have owned the van for about 4 years in which time it has never been smoked in, although there is a small cigarette burn in the driver side seat cushion from a previous owner. The car has no smoke odor. There is some rust starting on the driver’s side rocker and van side (worst of it) and some other minor spots. There are stone chips on the hood, and a crack in the windshield (not line of sight). The rear tires have adequate tread, but are a few years old.

Some of the more recent work performed:
-Fresh oil change
-New rotors and pads on all four corners
-new radiator just installed last week
-Injectors cleaned and flow matched last year
-Plastic serpentine belt tensioner pulley replaced with an aluminum one (belt replaced too)
-Front tires recently replaced. While front tires do not match rear tires, they are all proper Eurovan tires.
-Transmission fluid and filter changed annually (just done this spring)
-New lower ball joints in the front suspension.
-Shocks are 3 years old

The A/C blows colder than any vehicle we own. The vehicle starts reliably and the transmission has NO slipping. Remote keyless entry has not worked since we've owned it, but central locking does. This has been a great vehicle for us. It seats up to 7 full size adults very comfortably. The check engine light and associated code do not affect vehicle performance, and I can offer input as to what would most likely fix it. In its current mechanical state, I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere. Mileage is subject to change since vehicle is currently being driven. Reserve is very reasonably set considering the vehicle condition. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
