 1993 Eurovan weekender package for sale.   Please read the entire description for this sale:

This vehicle has a been a wonderful VW for me.  I've had it 5 years, had some great trips with my family, great concerts/tailgating.  
I am selling as I now have 5 VW’s in my driveway, 2 Vespas, and a London double decker bus in mid restoration.   My wife and neighbors are 1/2 step away from killing me if something doesn’t go!!!
Anyone who has had one of these knows how versatile they are.   Seats 7.  Sleeps 4.   can fit a full 4'x8' sheet of drywall/plywood inside.  Great for taking all the kids to sporting events, and i fit just about everything i ever needed from Home Depot into it with no problem!!  I am sad to be listing it, but just too many things going on right now in my driveway !

Seats 2 up front, 5 in the rear (3 along bench seat, 2 in rear facing seats).  Rear seat folds down, slides out, creating another bed.  Top pops up, but no interior camping gear such as a stove/fridge.

I am the 4th owner of this Eurovan and bought it in 10/2009 with 145k miles (it now has 179k +/- as I’m still using it daily.  It was originally an Arizona car, then to VA in 2005, then to NJ in 2006.

 It originally had an automatic trans which was essentially non-functioning.   I decided to take the manual transmission out of my other eurovan (same year, hardtop, but with a bad body), and put the manual trans into this camper.   The manual trans had ~150k when we put it in the camper (installing a new clutch at the time).  All work was performed by RPM in Westwood, NJ in spring 2010.
Anyone who has had one of these knows how problematic the autotrans can be!!
The other engine from the donor Eurovan also comes with this Auction.   It has ~150k on it.

The camper has run beautifully since the transmission swapover and I use it as my daily driver as well as periodic trips to Virginia Beach (about a 7 hour trip each way).



The camper is in decent shape but does need some attention, especially on a couple of rust spots.  I will list out everything I know to be wrong with the van.
-horn is present but doesn’t work
-cruise control doesn't work
-driver’s window won’t go up or down.   The motor is fine; it’s an electrical issue somewhere.
-rear speakers are present but unusable and need to be replaced.
-AC doesn’t work (blows air, but not cold)
-Dashpod temperature gauge and gas gauge work intermittently.  Articles on various VW user sights state it’s a loose connection and is fairly common and fixable.
-surface rust along vertical body seams on the side of the camper in the rear.
-surface and rocker rust on passenger side front door (worst area and perforated)
-surface rust on driver rocker area
-minor defects/broken pieces in trim work (see pictures)
-exhaust has several leaks.  Muffler is only a year old, but area around the catalytic converter has leaks; not the cat itself though.
-handle to open the cargo door is broken.  It functions fine, but the part that you squeeze with the grip of your fingers is split in two. 
-pop top canvas has some tears but can be repaired without having to completely remove everything (I envisioned simply cutting out the bad areas and sewing in a screened area, but never got around to it).
-Radio functions perfectly but is the originally cassette player (hey, at least it’s not 8-track!)
 
Positive stuff:
-I have all service records since I’ve owned it, and a lot of records from prior owners
-Tires are Kumho 235/65/16 104H which are rated at 104H (for heavier cars) and have ~80% tread left on them.   1 extra tire comes with it (same as 4 on the van).
-All screens,curtains, and headrests are on or with the camper
-Fiamma F45 retractable awning (works beautifully!)
-Roof racks (but not for anything super heavy;  maybe skis, surboard, or perhaps a canoe)
-all cup holders are intact :)


-
I encourage potential buyers to come see it, test drive it, etc… I will also take it to a local shop/dealer of your choice to have them do an overall inspection of the vehicle (potential buyers and I would  have to agree how to handle this).
I will do my best to provide any additional pictures and/or video requested.
Camper is also listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if there is a non-ebay buyer.
Camper is a nice vehicle with some  issues due to age and wear and tear; but all issues can be resolved.
I have set a reserve price which I feel is reasonable, in line with market prices MINUS the estimated costs to repair all items I listed as being problematic with the vehicle.
I will edit auction to add a "buy it now price" if an acceptable offer is made (otherwise, we just let the auction runs its course)
I am available to show/test drive it Mon/Tues/Sat/Sun of this week.

I will NOT ship to Nigeria, will not accept checks from Nigeria, won't wire money to Nigeria, and won't deal with folks who's secretary "accidentally" sent me $5,000 too much. 
I also don't have a lot of patience for buyers who want to ding ebay sellers for differences in opinion on the condition of items being sold.  If you want more detail, ask:  I will send you as many pictures as I can.
I will work with any buyer if there is truly something that I have overlooked, but if its just a buyer with an overinflated sense of entitlement, well, please just move along and save your drama for someone else.


Happy bidding.  I will do my best to answer questions in a timely fashion.
Thank you!

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line

Mon, 14 Jan 2013


Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
