1993 Volkswagen Eurovan Mv Westfalia Pop-up Camper on 2040-cars
Laguna Niguel, California, United States
Very Clean 1993 Volkswagen Eurovan weekender westfalia. 2.5L 5 cylinder
automatic. ~179K miles (we're still driving it). Sleeps 4. two rear facing seats. Back seat folds
into a queen bed. pop-up table. Awesome family mobile.
Over $4.5K of service was done in the last 2 years including new head, valves, cylinders, water pump, timing belts, gaskets, fluids, a/c compressor, and transmission service. Runs Great and shifts great. We just completed a 1K roadtrip, and it ran perfectly with the A/C on. Averaged 20-21 mpgs. Pop-up canvas is awesome (two tiny little holes from where the clamp went down on it. common on these campers) seats are clean, carpet is clean. Had seat covers its whole life as well as a large mat in the back and front, so carpet is in great shape. Has refrigerator under rear facing seat. Aftermarket CD player, speakers, and Sirius radio. Clean and clear title in hand from Oregon. There is some surface rust by a left rear window and on the front right windshield pillar. See pics. Also some normal wear and tear with some small scratches, some normal rock chips on the front, and a few little dings here and there. I'd still say less wear than you would think for a 20 year old car that drove 180K miles. The left mirror moves up, down, and out, but doesn't seem to want to go inward. The aftermarket fog lamps don't seem to work. The horn works, but is pretty quiet. The passenger "oh sh*!" handle is broken. Mostly small stuff, but little things here and there. The aftermarket foglights don't turn on. Continental tires still have plenty of tread. Have all curtains. I'd say interior is a 9.5, exterior an 8. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Sorry if I miss anything. I just want to disclose everything I know. NADA Blue Book has it from $6K-16K. Middle is $10K. Although I believe it is on the nicer end of 93 Westies I've seen, we have it for sale locally for $9K. Feel free to email with any questions. Please check my feedback. I try to be as honest as I can. I may miss stuff, so we encourage a visit and test drive. Mechanics welcome. |

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
