I bought this van with 85K miles from a kindly gentleman and his wife out of Kalamzaoo, MI in Feb 2012. It has served me very well for music festivals, beach trips and also as a utility vehicle for my occasional need to move tools and equipment. It has a Reese hitch also which I only used for my 4x6 trailer. I paid $17K for the van then.
It has a nice Pioneer head unit and CD player with auxiliary input with JBL 6-speaker system. Sounds great! I added a Memphis Audio amp and subwoofer and also got the van tinted down nicely to the South Carolina and Virginia limit which helps keep her cooler in the Summer ($900). Right after I bought it, I had it looked over by the Auto Haus of Myrtle Beach to the tune of $2600 to replace high pressure power steering hose, AC control module, tune up, one coil pack, and AC service. This year had to replace the AC pump and belt later for around $750. I put new shocks on the front myself. This van is a joy to own and drive. It's the VW van that can get out of its own way ;) It's a festival hit, and a very practical camper (sleep 2 up, 2 down). It gets 20+ MPG highway, which is unheard of for an RV. While the van has a clean Virginia title, I did learn when I tried to list it that the title is salvage from an accident back in 2003. Apparently the van was repainted at that time. I had no idea from the performance of the vehicle that it ever had an accident. The only indication I had was when I had it aligned, the tech let me know that the caster and camber were fine, but that one of the front wheels is a fraction of an inch in front of the other...he said that could cause a pull but would not wear tires. I never noticed a pull so I call it 'good' :) This was not disclosed to me (bad karma) and I didn't Carfax it (trusting as I am) but I will disclose this to you. Be not afraid. This is a fine vehicle with mostly complete service record, low miles, and high fun factor! Selling for financial reasons for below market (just what I paid) in respect for the tradition this increasingly rare van represents and to account for the status of the title. |

VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
