I purchased the Eurovan last year in hopes of taking the family camping. Unfortunately, due to our busy schedule we have yet to actually use this vehicle and therefore have decided to sell to someone who has the time to enjoy this great camper.

The Eurovan is in very good condition. The body is in excellent condition with no rust. The rear bumper does have some damage but is still in generally good condition. The pop top is also in good condition but the previous owner did tear the mesh screen which he had repaired. The interior is also in exceptional condition. The original carpet has always been covered by a mat and is still in excellent condition. Likewise the dash, seats show very little wear. This is a used vehicle so there are minor imperfections from regular wear and tear but overall it is in very good condition for its age. My family is very sensitive to smoke and as far we can tell it has never been smoked in. We have never camped in the vehicle so we have never tested the sink, stove etc. but when I purchased it I was assured everything was in working condition. The cushions etc. are all also in very good condition. The camper will need a good cleaning as it has not been used for some time.

The van has not been used since I purchased it last year, I may have driven it 100kms max. The current mileage is 194,914 kms /121,113 miles. In preparation to sell it I had it just gone over by a mechanic, a new safety inspection completed and the oil changed. I replaced the timing belt last year after I purchased it. It starts right up and idles great. I took it for spin on the highway and it works fine. Everything seems to work as it should but keep in mind I have yet to drive the camper a long distance.

The camper was maintained through its life. I have the warranty book which show regular oil changes. I am aware the cylinder head was replaced in the past as result of a broken timing belt that is why I installed a new timing belt last year.

I have posted a you tube video so you can hear the motor running and I will post additional pictures upon request. I have absolutely no objection to having the vehicle checked out by a mechanic at the purchasers cost as long as the mechanic is local to me. Search YOUTUBE for "1995 Volkswagen Eurovan Camper Walk Around Saint John NB" for the youtube video.

I have put on a very low reserve on the camper in hopes of selling it before the snow hits. Otherwise I'll put it in storage and try camping again next year :)

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or arrange an inspection.

The camper is located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada about 60 miles from the Maine border at Calais. Shipping to the USA should not be a problem but is the buyers responsibility to confirm before bidding.

Now for the fine print:

- Please don't bid if you don't want to purchase or don't currently have the funds to purchase.

- The vehicle should be picked up / shipped with in a month of the auction close. If it's longer I will have to charge storage fees because I need to store it indoors during the winter months.

- A $300 non refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auction end and balance paid within 1 month.

- Shipping is the purchaser's responsibility, I will assist if I can.

- All INSPECTIONS MUST BE DONE BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD "AS-IS, WHERE IS" CONDITION WITH NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED WRITTEN OR IMPLIED. ANY DESCRIPTIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS ARE FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A WARRANTY OF ANY TYPE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER TO HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND TO HAVE SATISFIED HIMSELF OR HERSELF AS TO THE CONDITION AND VALUE AND TO BID BASED UPON THAT JUDGMENT SOLELY. THE SELLER SHALL AND WILL MAKE EVERY REASONABLE EFFORT TO DISCLOSE ANY KNOWN DEFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF LISTING AND AT THE BUYER'S REQUEST PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF SALE. SELLER ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPAIRS NEEDED AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHIPPED. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. 

- I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ALL EXISTING BIDS AND END THE AUCTION EARLY SHOULD THE ITEM NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

 

Thanks!

As VW electrifies, it questions the role of Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ducati

Wed, Sep 30 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen needs to change to stay relevant in the electric and digital vehicle era and will announce "important steps" to that end before the close of the year, Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Wednesday. "Volkswagen needs to change: From a collection of valuable brands and fascinating combustion-engine products that thrill customers with superb engineering — to a digital company that reliably operates millions of mobility devices worldwide," Diess told shareholders at the company's virtual general meeting. Vehicles need to stay in contact with customers, offer new services and comfort functions on a weekly or even daily basis, he said. "We will take further important steps to set the course for this in the rest of 2020," Diess said. Senior executives told Reuters the company is reviewing what role its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati will play as the company increasingly focuses on electric, digital and autonomous vehicles. Volkswagen, which also owns VW, Audi, Porsche, Seat and Skoda, is looking at whether it has the resources to accelerate development of electric platforms for smaller brands at a time it is investing billions to transform its more mainstream cars. Asked whether Ducati, which is known for making noisy combustion-engined motorbikes, has an electric future, Markus Duesmann, who oversees research and development for the group, said: "It will not take long until we see an electric Ducati." Whether Ducati, which is a medium-sized premium motorbike brand, would offer an electric variant, depends on whether a bike could offer range comparable to a combustion-engined variant, Duesmann said. Advances are being made in battery technology which could make this possible, he added. Separately Frank Witter, the company's chief financial officer, in response to a question about whether a sale of Lamborghini is planned, said Volkswagen does not comment on speculation about potential divestments. Lamborghini's Chief Executive Stefano Domenicali this week announced his departure from the sports car maker to take on a new job as president of Formula One. VW needs cash Volkswagen is reviewing the future of these three high-performance brands as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars, senior executives told Reuters.

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery

Tue, Apr 1 2014

When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.
