Rebuilt Eng/clutch/brakes, Southern Cal No Rust, Very Well Kept Family Surf Bus on 2040-cars
Aliso Viejo, California, United States
|
I am the second owner, very well kept VW Vanagon GL with clean straight body, no rust, good clean interior, and seats/headliner/carpet are in good condition. This Vanagon has the much more reliable and better touring water boxer engine, a 1.9L professionally rebuilt with all the better 2.1L upgrades. New engine has about 200 miles on it, runs and drives excellent, purrs down the road, fast and powerful even on long hills in this area. Stays cool even in bad freeway bumper to bumper traffic. Rebuild and restoration details below. Has been in Southern California its entire life (no snow, almost no rain). We will miss this Vanagon, recent job loss forces sale, unfortunately after we began restoration.
Recently rebuilt engine, new clutch, new radiator, new power steering pump, new pwr steering rack, brakes, and front window (old one had crack). Work was done by reputable shop in southern California, and engine has 12 month warranty through 10/2014. Paint looks good but very close up you can see age in some places, has a few scratches here and there, is not perfect, but when waxed looks good. Surf rack is included, as well as a very nice A&E awning (Trans awn 2000) with good screens. Engine: 1.9L Rebuilt by JCS Volks in Los Angeles, a quality rebuilder of VW engines. I had the 2.1L upgrades installed as recommended by leading VW shops, as well as GoWesty.com. My vanagon is much faster now and purrs, faster than standard 1.9L's now, mainly because the 2.1L crankshaft was used which increases horsepower. I cannot place the link on this page per ebay but see the gowesty website and search for article named "Engine Block Story: 1.9 vs. 2.1 Waterboxer Designs". Has about 200 miles on rebuilt engine, warranty good until 10/2014, will need a 300 mile oil change and because engine is new the mechanic should check the valve adjustment per rebuilder instructions. After that it should be good to go another 170,000 miles. Interior: Very well kept and in good condition. Front and rear seats all solid and look nice, no tears, and sit well, all seat belts there and in good condition. Rear seat has a few light stains in back corner, not very noticeable. Rear seat folds into double/full bed, rear cushion in great condition. Privacy curtains all around except back window (does have curtain bar though, just needs new curtains on back window). The instrument dash lights went out recently, havent looked but likely a bulb, will fix it before sale. Also the odometer stopped working shortly after the rebuild, likely needs a new cable. The interior door lights and slider lights work well. Headliner is in good condition, just installed new rear hatch struts, hatch opens, stays up and closes perfectly. A/C: Was upgraded with overhead AC/fan system when Vanagon was new at dealer. All works well, controls and air all good, however I had the A/C compressor removed when engine rebuilt. If I had known i was selling it I would have kept it in tact. A/C compressor works and the lines are ready in engine bay, just needs to be installed. Sale includes the compressor and the bracket if new owner wants to enable A/C. After installed it will need to have lines cleared and system recharged, which usually runs under $100. Stereo: Has a stereo/CD however I have lost the face plate so it cannot be operated. The new owner could install new stereo or find a faceplate that fits the current system. Has stock speakers in door and in back. Recent work/ New parts Installed by VW shop: - engine, clutch, radiator, pwr steering pump and steering rack - GoWesty rear hatch struts - brakes were bled and cleaned, shop installed new front pads and turned rotors. Included with Vanagon: - receipts for all work - Vanagon orig. owners guide - surf racks - AC Compressor and bracket - Very nice A&E Trans Awn 2000 awning with room screens, fits on well with surf rack removed. Please don't hesitate to email any questions or call. If you leave a message I will return your call usually in evening, around 6PM PST. (949) 362-0068. Phone does not accept text. Thank you. |

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.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R
Wed, Dec 10 2014Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV
Tue, Oct 7 2014Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag.
