This vehicle starts, runs and drives great. The transmission shifts and drives smooth. I've had this vehicle for two years now and drove it very few miles. I used it mainly for camping trips and to haul larger items. I recently moved and now we just don't have the driveway space and so I'm forced to part with it. There are a few minor things that need to be fixed but I just never had time to get around to it. It's a wonderful vehicle for being 20+ years old and with relatively low miles!
There are a few small dents and scratches and some minor body rust (see pictures). Otherwise it's in good shape. The tires are only 3 years old with very good tread left and only about 10,000 miles driven on them. The rear wiper does not work (it just might be a fuse). Also needs left front window regulator (I still have the windshield wiper arm which stripped right off the bolt). The rear hatch latch button is loose but still works. Probably a simple fix but, again, I never got around to it. All the exterior signals and lights work. The underbody has a fair amount of rust but everything functions properly. This van amazingly does NOT rattle even when you hit the larger potholes! I replaced the water pump, ball joints, and exhaust system last year. I recently replaced the oil pressure switch (leaked oil big time but now it stopped). Replaced front upper control arm bushings and right front upper arms (also had alignment done - it drives nice and straight). It needs a rear brake job (pads are down to less than 10%). Also needs a fuel tank seal (leaks slightly when full). The A/C compressor is disconnected (I'm not even sure if it works). The heat works great though! The electrical system has no serious problems. The power steering line leaks and needs to be replaced so the power steering does not work (a little muscle gets the job done). The cruise control also works great for those longer trips! The interior is clean and generally is in good shape. I had some minor modifications done to the interior lighting (now VERY bright). One of the instrument panel lights is not working so its tough to see tachometer, fuel and temp gauges at night. Front right window does not roll down which can easily be modified and fixed (once again, I never got around to it). The power locks and power windows have been disconnected so it's back to the basics in this department (you might be able to get them to work with a little electrical know-how). The passenger seat back does not 'lock in' so it rocks back and forth when passenger is sitting in it (a minor inconvenience and simple fix). All the seat belts function properly. I have the original snap-on privacy curtains which are in great shape. There is also a very nice Panasonic CD player deck installed with great sound! (needs an antenna though). Winning offer must pay $500 deposit to my PayPal within 24 hours of close. The balance must be paid in full by certified bank check within 3 days. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I have past maintenance receipts available upon request. The title is free and clear. Please contact me with any questions and I will try to promptly answer them. This vehicle is for sale as-is and I'm not 'parting it out'. Please make an honest offer only if you are serious about buying it. Thank you! |

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The 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 Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives
Tue, Dec 23 2014Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli
