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.

Fully Charged rolls into season 3 with VW XL1 and electric Land Rover

Sat, Jan 18 2014

It's been some time since last we visited with British actor and electric car proponent Robert Llewellyn and his web-based video series, Fully Charged. The show, now sponsored by Ecotricity, has started rolling out its third season and now has available two episodes featuring a pair of truly unique – and diametrically opposed – vehicles. The first installment starts with some interesting numbers involving the host's Nissan Leaf and its energy consumption over the past 36,000 miles, but soon moves on to the ultra-aero, ultra-expensive Volkswagen XL1. Now, if you've already seen the footage from our own XL1 first drive review, there's not a lot new here except, perhaps, more enthusiasm and a better listen of the two-cylinder diesel kicking in. Still, it's a great reminder of a truly unique vehicle and we enjoyed the segment. The second episode features an electrified Land Rover Defender 110. This is a vehicle you'd more likely see on an African safari than at the local mall. It's not a home-built conversion either, but rather, something the company has put together "for the boffins to create the ideas and see if they work." Boasting a 50-mile range, it's certainly something we like to take on an off-road adventure. Llewellyn is given the chance to do just that, and though the course is somewhat milder than what we might attempt, it does feature a stretch of river and some rough, rutted tracks. You can watch both episodes by scrolling below let us know which vehicle you'd prefer in the comments. This writer is going with the four-wheel-drive. This content is hosted by a third party.

VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV

Tue, Oct 7 2014

Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag. You can see the new ad and a number of related behind-the-scenes videos (in English) below. Our Quick Spin of the E-up! are available here. This content is hosted by a third party.
