I bought this car new and took delivery 12/28/2003. It has been a wonderful car and now I want to buy a new VW diesel. This car has shiny Black paint with Black leatherette interior. It has a great Turbo Diesel engine with a 5 speed stick shift. It has great acceleration and is fun to drive, yet it is a quiet diesel. I have driven this car 157,500 miles (approximately) at an average of 43 mpg which equals 9 cents/mile at $3.90 per gallon. On longer trips it has gotten near 50 mpg! This car is so good that I replaced the front emblem with a Mercedes emblem many years ago. It also is lowered 2" with a H&R lowering kit that was professionally installed. In dash Navigation was also installed using VDO Dayton Navigation that works off CDs (see photos). This was available in Germany and I bought a USA version from the German supplier VDO Dayton and had it installed. The professional installer did not connect the steering wheel controls to this radio but I am told that if I take it back in, they can make them work. Disc Brakes all around, Michelin Tires with plenty of tread left, Moonroof, 200 watt stereo/CD player are also standard in this GLS model and are working good. It has heated seats and mirrors but the drivers bottom quit working some time ago and VW wanted $500 to fix it so I get along without it. Drivers back and passenger bottom and back still work as do the mirrors. Mobile 1 or an equal synthetic oil have been used since new allowing 10,000 miles between oil changes. Currently the car runs great and uses no extra oil. This car has never been smoked in, has never had a collision, and has had only one driver the majority of the time (I am now 75 years). Once in awhile my wife drove it. $300.00 must be paid by winning bidder within 24 hours of the auction ending via PayPal. The balance must be paid in cash, or other cash type payment method. The title is clear with no liens. Two sets of 17" ASA aluminum wheels are available for $700 for Winter set with Bridgestone Blizzacks with years of tread left and $500 for Summer set with Bridgestone Summer Tires that have little tread left. These will be sold in separate auctions. I ran these wheels most of the time on this car and just replaced them with the original 15" Michelin tires and stock VW aluminum wheels. Look at our other auctions for slide rules, books, car parts, Coca Cola trays and other things that a retired Mechanical Engineer is parting with. I have 2 MG Midgets and lots of parts for them. Tell me what you need and if I have it, I will run an ebay auction with the part. Added 7/17/2014 This car is For Sale locally and if it sells here for more than the auction price, then the auction will be cancelled. So bid and lets get it sold on eBay! Timing belt has been changed twice, once at about 80,000 miles but more recently 4/12/2011 134,405 miles when the water pump quit. During that service at Maple Hill VW in Kalamazoo, MI they also installed new tensioner, idler, water pump, glow plugs, and a new battery. 6/17/2011 136,969 miles a local garage replaced the rear brake caliper pads with ceramic and installed new rear rotors. 12/3/2012 150,031 miles Maple Hill VW replaced the rear hatch emblem and switch because it would not work off the key fob. 8/3/2013 150,969 miles local brake shop replaced the front brake pads and a cliper frame bracket plus lube, oil, filter with synthetic oil. Car was lowered with H&R kit 12/7/2007 90,195 miles. All 4 wheels were realigned. Tires seem to wear normally. New clutch and flywheel was installed at this time. Within last 2 months, I had a local body shop remove rust bubbles from lip of left front fender and rear hatch, they could find nothing anywhere else. Not bad for a 10+ year old car but it is a VW! Oil, filter and lube were done again about 1 week ago even though the 10,000 miles had not passed. You might notice above that, if the miles on the invoices are all correct, there are times when I haven't driven this car much. I have 7 cars, 3 are diesels and these are my drivers, one is a Mercedes with AWD and I use it more in the Winter. I have 4 older collector cars 1929 Ford, 1957 Cadillac, 1970 MG Midget and 1975 MG Midget. |

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
