Camper interior Has table for candle light dinners, fridge that runs on propane gas, 12volt and plug it 110v, Sink with a clear water tank, lots of storage for all you needs, Bottom seat can be a couch and it turns in to a bed. Roof pops up so u can stand up with no problem. I will do my best to Describe this bus- Just changed oil, battery, fuel, fuel pump etc and drove it camping to San Francisco. Bus motor does not overheat and it drove like a dream. See Pics from 1-19-2014 trip photos. We did over 400 miles in the bus and got great gas millage compare to a rv. The bus does need tlc and a full tune up just to have it service before I would take across the country since it sat for over a year. This is a 34+yeard old Vw bus that will need tlc just like any other one and it is Sold as-is and the buyer is responsible for transport and smog etc..The Bus is 34+ years is a clean bus to what is out their unless you pay over 25k. Once you work all the little kinks out of it, I honestly thinks it will be a dreams bus. If u want a fully restored bus and want to pay 40k this one is not for you. If you want a nice bus that you will fall in love and use it everyday then this one is for you. It is part of my seniors dad collection and he loved the bus but has not driven it for a year. Clear Ca title and reg is on non-opp starting 2-2014. Please feel free to come by and drive the bus or call me at 916-969-0334 Paul. It is in Loomis, Ca by Sacramento. Feel free to ask any questions?? Buyer must pay 500 dollar deposit within 24 hours of end of Auction via Paypal. The Rest must be paid in full with in 5 days via Cash, Bank transfer. I have sold many cars to Europe and had always happy customers. These buses are only going to go higher in value bcs u can take them on a trip and is a whole different trip then a gas drinking rv. Tom Hanks the actor bought one recently, a camper too.No Reserve auction-I see these online for 10,000 plus all the time.

GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE BUS-

1-Westfalia camper-Frig,sink,cabinets,beds-etc Nice and usable see pics, top bunk is white and like new.

4-Manual-4 speed-Easy to drive and very realiable. Great Trans.

5-Good glass and interior. Passanger seat swivels for more seating space.

6-New fuel pump, battery, new hoses, Many new parts.

7-Starts every time and it has new fuel and pump etc.

The Bad-

1- Tent is torn but I found one for as little as 149-new or fix this one.or fix this one.

2-1980 Nice Cond but not perfect has some dings in and out etc.. Rear cushion works but it is thiner then original but very usable.

3-Speedo just broke at 189k. Missing Cd radio face cover.

4-Paint looks great from distance but upclose you can see that at sometime it was painted cheaply, It does has some minor surface rurs  and dings old owner prior to us had it painted, but the little rust is surface only.

5-Bus should have a full tune up so it can travel anywhere, tires have some cracks and Brakes should have new pads.

6-Key-opens front doors but rear and side door is missing, but doors all doors close and open with no problems

7-Camper Kitchen Stove works etc but everything needs to be cleaned due to it sitting a year. Water tank needs to be cleaned too. Propane tank needs a new knob because it does leek propane from the tank, easy fix for a part from a rv/camping store. Common gasket goes bad. Quated it is a $ 10 part and look easy to install.

Well I did my best but please realize that a vehicle can have any problem or they can run for ever. Please don't bid on this item unless you plan to buy it. It takes lots of time and money to list a item. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION????

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map

Thu, May 31 2018

BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
