Up for bid is my 2002 VW Eurovan which is my current daily driver. I've had many VW vans including a '59 Panel, '71 Kombi, '82 Westfalia, '91 Vanagon, '99 Eurovan, and this one. I've loved the utility, camping, comfort, and comrodary of other owners. Alas, it is time to move on as I no longer need the 6 cylinders nor a 7-passenger vehicle. My wife's 6 passenger Mazda 5 suits us now just fine. Although, bringing the 12 Christmas tree home in the Euro with the rear door shut will be missed! As you can see from the pictures, this is a very clean Euro. I believe there was some minor paint touch-ups but no accidents nor rust; other than a couple scratches and road specs from stones.

I believe I'm pricing my Euro very competitively based on Kelly Blue Book ($9,300-$10,800), what I see other Euros selling for on ebay, and the overall condition. I realize new buyer will need to put a little effort into the TLC items below so I expect my pricing respects that.

Please don't bid on my van unless you plan to buy it. As you know, this takes a lot of time and energy. The pictures and my description of the vehicle are accurate. Winning the auction is not winning the right of first refusal. Please come and see the van, drive it, call me, or ask for more specific pictures before the auction ends. I realize this may be a major investment for someone so I'll respect the needs of the buyer to be fully satisfied. I just ask that you be a responsible buyer and do your homework up front.

THE GOOD STUFF:

Mileage works out to less than 10,000/yr which is nice as these engines will last awhile if you take care of them.
Tires and brakes are in good condition; I would drive this van anywhere.
Heat and A/C work fine.
Cooling system was flushed Aug '12; last oil change done Nov '13.
Automatic tranny is in fine condition; unlike my '99 that used to slip! Many folks say they were either good or bad and if you get beyond 60K or so, you're probably fine for awhile.
I have inspection/service records (not sure if complete) back to 2005 and the original owners manual.
Front wheel drive is excellent in the snow.
New battery June '13.
Body and interior condition is above average.
I installed tow package last spring but only pulled a small 14' boat 4 times for an average distance of 10 miles.
Middle bucket seats are in nice shape and are easily removed/installed for multiple configurations.
I made an indoor/outdoor carpet flooring for the winter when seats are removed or for moving stuff.

Things needing TLC:

The most annoying thing is the power locks started working inconsistently in August. I still can't open the passenger door and I usually need the key fob button to open the side and rear doors. Maybe something simple but I've spent no time trying to figure out nor bring to someone for repair.
The radiator auxilary fan needs replacing. I unhooked it when a couple of the fins broke (they're plastic) back in Sept. No long drives nor high temps since so general driving is fine. I researched and after-market one is ~$150 + labor unless you do it yourself.
Front and middle carpets have 'normal' wear stains. Rear carpet still have original plastic covering :-).
Rear wiper intermittent motor stays on for a couple days after using and then decides to stop and work properly. I don't use it.
I get some instrument lights intermittenly coming on. Most prevelant is check brakes but I know pads are good for awhile. My mechanic says the sensor is too senstive. Other one is ABS but it goes away??
I repaired a small exhaust leak a couple weeks ago which is fine but I don't have records for when exhaust was done last so assume that will be a future service item.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
