PROS:
  • MINIMAL SURFACE RUST (SOME "WORSE" SPOTS, BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN).
  • SUPER STRAIGHT BODY (ONE SPOT AT ENGINE BAY DOOR BOTTOM HAS DAMAGE).
  • ENGINE, TRANNY AND CLUTCH ARE STRONG.
  • NEW TIRES.
  • BRAKES ARE STRONG, NO PULLING.
  • LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK.
  • WIPERS WORK ON BOTH SPEEDS, BUT SOMETHING DID START SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AFTER TWO HOURS OF USE.
  • GLASS AND SCREENS ARE ALL GOOD AND WINDOWS ALL WORK.
  • AFTERMARKET RADIO WITH REMOTE AND SPEAKERS.
  • SUPER CLEAN INTERIOR.
  • GREAT POP TOP CANVAS (MINIMAL SMALL HOLES) WITH OEM FOLDING SLEEPER.
  • SPEEDO AND ODOMETER WORK.
  • BONUS SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WITH 120V AND 12V CAPABILITY.
  • SINK WORKS, NICE ICE BOX.
  • DOORS ALL WORK WELL.  SOME OF THE LOCKS ARE QUITE TIGHT TO TURN, BUT THEY ALL WORK.
  • COMES WITH TWO KEYS.
  • ORIGINAL MANUALS INCLUDED.
CONS:
  • PAINT: MATTE BROWN ON THE BOTTOM WAS SPRAYED ON BY PREVIOUS OWNER.  NOT TERRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT.  A CLEAR COAT ON IT WOULD DO WONDERS, BUT A COMPLETE RE-SPRAY WOULD TAKE THIS BUS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
  • CHIP COATING APPLIED TO THE FRONT.
  • COUPLE SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH.
  • RUBBER LATCH HANDLE ON THE GLOVE BOX IS TEARING FROM ITS BASE, BUT STILL WORKS.
  • INTERIOR HANDLE FOR SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN.  NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  DOOR STILL OPENS WITH ATTACHED VISE GRIP PLIERS.
  • SMALL HOLES IN THE TOP CANVAS.
  • ENGINE STALLED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN COLD.  MAY NEED ATTENTION.  RUNS DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A CHAMP.
  • SOME FLUID LEAKS AT ENGINE.  NOT SURE FROM WHERE, BUT IS PRETTY MINOR.  OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD WHEN I CHECKED IT.
  • DENT AT REAR BOTTOM OF ENGINE BAY DOOR.

IF I MISSED ANYTHING (I'M SURE I HAVE), PLEASE ASK.  WATCH BOTH VIDEOS FIRST.  THANKS TO ALL FOR LOOKING!

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668

Fri, Mar 5 2021

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a review-packed episode this week, but it kicks off with a discussion of Volvo's plans to electrify by 2030 and move their EV sales online. From there, they get into Greg's time with VW's game-changing new ID.4 electric crossover. Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan. Finally, they tackle a fascinatingly complex twitter question: What is the best 'economy' muscle car?

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
