Hello

 

We are new to eBay so I apologize for the low rating etc but if you have any questions please message me and I will get back to you. We have just done a 4000 mile road trip across Mexico with the vehicle and now we have to sell it fast as we are flying to europe soon.

 

This is a 1984 VW Transporter / Vanagon / Caravelle van. It has automatic transmission with the original VW/Audi transaxle sytem which is one of the best and most simplest transmission systems ever built. The van has the 2.1liter engine which gives it extra power and reliability and you will not need to do a Waterboxer or Subaru conversion as this little van just flies up any hill with no trouble at all.

 

It is in good running condition for the age of the vehicle and loads of new parts have only just been fitted by a company In Belize called VW-Belize. (check em out if you want) Brakes, tires, steering, ignition, fuel pump, fuel hoses, and filter, sensors, cooling system, suspension parts, starter motor are all brand new + more. The vehicle drives well and is in good overall functioning order. The van is located in Austin Texas and you can come and see and drive the vehicle any time. Just message me and we can meet up. .

 

NEW PARTS 2 upper Ball joints, 2 lower Ball joints, 1 Tie rod end, 1 Steering Rack Boot, 2 rear wheel brake cylinders + rebuild kit / hardware kit for drum brakes , 1 seal  for brake booster, 1 spark plug wire set, 1 fuel pump , 1 fuel filter, 1 high-pressure fuel hose, 1 master cylinder , 1 Ignition Switch , 1 water temp sensor , 1 brake caliper, 1 set of front brake pads, rear brake pads,  1 set of front brake hoses, 1 fan switch, 1 thermostat housing, 1 thermostat, 1 thermostat gasket set, 1 crankcase breather hose, new starter motor, Ball joints, 2 caliper rebuild kit, break hardware-kit, 2 hatch struts . The brakes have been bled and flushed the cooling system and radiator has been flushed and the thermostat works, the fan comes on automatically as it is supposed to, welding work has been done on wheel arches, column, fender and front panel. The fuel tank has been dropped and washed out and the rubber seals replaced. All work carried out by VW-Belize and receipts for parts and labor available.

 

When I bought the vehicle it was a non runner. We have now travelled with the van over 4000 miles from Belize to Austin Texas and it runs really well. We have a video of the whole trip so you can see the van in action.

 

The interior is a bit rough. The back seats are in pretty good shape, the head lining is in very good shape, but the carpet is covered in stains ( I managed to spill my coffee 4 times during the trip. Yes. 4 times) and the front passenger seat is in pretty poor shape and the drivers side is worse. They are all very comfortable though an I had no problem during the 4000 mile trip even after 6 -7 hours of driving.

 

The body work over all is not bad. There are a few minor dings and dents in it and the paint job is not a professional one and close up you can see some runs in the paint and the old VW stickers show though the blue paint. The bumpers have had a knock or two and one of the tail lights is a little broken as is one of the front indicator lights. Still road legal though.

 

Known problems. The brakes squeal. They are brand spanking new and work very well and are very strong but they squeal, When we set of on the trip I thought they would stop squealing after a few hundred miles but they are still making noise. I have had the wheels off but I can not find any thing wrong. I am sure your local VW repair place can fix this in two shakes of a lambs tail. The fuel gauge does not work. The speedometer works fine as does the temp gauge but the odometer stopped ticking over about 11000miles ago and I have not been able to fix it. The engine will tend to stall when still cold and the idle is a little rough. I think it needs a new oxygen sensor. (around $80.00 I think) Nothing much but you will need to get this fixed. It always starts first time. Please bear in mind that this van is 30 years old and has lots of little things wrong with it but it is a good solid van that can be driven all day every day, on the highway and in the city, paved and un paved roads. All the essential electrics work fine ( wipers lights etc) but none of the interior lights work.

 

We may be able to deliver the vehicle to you. We have carried out all checks with the DMV and I can sell you this van and you can get a title in your name no problem.

 

Any questions please message me.

 

Cheers

 

Will

2015 VW e-Golf coming to ZEV states for $35,445* this November

Mon, Aug 25 2014

Is $6,465 too much to get someone thinking about buying a Nissan Leaf to opt for the Volkswagen e-Golf instead? That's the price difference between the current EV sales champion, which now starts at $28,980, and the just-announced price for the e-Golf, which will sell for $35,445 in the US when it arrives in about ten states (basically, the ZEV states that follow California's lead in zero-emission vehicle rules) this November and will qualify for the federal tax credit of up to $7,500. VW says that the extra money will get you "the most versatile electric vehicle in its class." There is only one trim line, the SEL Premium, which will be the first VW in the US with all-LED headlights. The car's powertrain numbers pretty much match the Nissan Leaf, though. The e-Golf has a 24.2-kWh lithium-ion battery (the Leaf has a 24-kWh pack) and a 115-hp, 199-pound foot electric motor (107 hp,187 lb-ft in the Leaf). The e-Golf's official EPA numbers are not yet available, but VW says it will have an "average range between 70 and 90 miles." The Leaf has an official EPA range of 84 miles. The e-Golf has a better onboard charger – 7.2 kW vs. 3.6 or 6.6, depending on your Leaf's options – and has SAE Combo fast charging capability as standard. VW is also working with 3Degrees to offset all of the emissions "created from production, distribution and charging of the e-Golf for up to approximately 36,000 miles of driving." VW also announced prices for its lightly facelifted 2015 Jetta today. The base model, the 2.0-liter S with a manual transmission, starts at $17,325 while the top-of-the-line model, the Hybrid SEL Premium, will set you back at least $31,670. The lowest-cost TDI is the S manual, which starts at $21,640 and features VW's new 2.0-liter diesel four. A new limited-edition 1.8 Sport model with a firmer suspension, tinted taillamps and rear spoiler starts at $20,895. All VW prices listed exclude VW's *$820 destination charge and you can find all the details on trim lines in the press releases below.

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.
