With much hesitation I am listing my Westy up for sale. I love this van, and it has done multiple trips and even DD it for a few months without any problems. I bought this van sight unseen, flew to NY and drove it back all the way to NC without a hickup. Just turn key and drive away. While getting great gas mileage.
Only reason I'm selling is b/c I am about to start back up with school full time, and don't think I'll have a chance to do any trips for a few years, and don't want it sitting the whole time. I know once I get in it and take a trip off to see family in Texas, or Central Florida I'll probably change my mind though.
Located in North Florida. Like I said, I love this van, and will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Call/text (609) 408.3916 -Josh
Have a book of receipts with over $15,000 worth of add-on, turning this thing into a lean, mean, gas-sipping, hippy panty dropping, touring machine.
Goodies:

etc.......

125w Solar panel, with Sunforce Charger, 30ft of cable with connectors (Will enable multiple days off grid while running fridge, radio, charging stuff, etc....)
GoWesty Sink kit
This isn't a project Westy that needs work to run. This van is fully functional and ready to go. I bought these items b/c I planned on traveling/living in this thing. Have decided to go back to school though, so instead of sitting, I'm offering it to another traveler.
I'll keep adding once I break out the receipt book, and remember everything done.
Bad:
1) Fill tube from gas tank has a small crack, (common problem), doesn't pose a problem unless you fill completely to the top, I usually stop 1/2 gal short of filling it up and it won't leak.
2) Appears it was in a minor accident at one point, and the back hatch has a couple spots where the filler has cracked.
3) Has a small amount of the typical seem rust. No cancer, just the small seem rust that any Vanagon owner has to deal with constantly. You can pick it away, rust convert it, and it will come back, just one of those things about a vanagon. No vanagon is truly rust free. When I had the fridge out, I checked the whole driver side wall and no rust issue was there.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
