93 Eurovan MV for restore or parts, near Gettysburg PA.  IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE:  3 day auction, no reserve, MUST BE MOVED BY MAY 24th, 5 pm. I've got 75+ guests coming in next weekend, and need my old friend out of the way. If van is not moved by then, the 175 deposit is forfeited as I need to move it some other way and pay my ebay fee. Thanks.

The van: one day it wouldn't start (no whir, r-r-r-r. no nothing). We had several vehicles so I didn't fix it, but as it was my daughter's favorite, I held on to it. Never fixed it. Time to let it go to someone that can use it (or use parts of it).

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY:

THE GOOD:  until it didn't start (starter? solenoid?) the engine ran well and the transmission worked well. Seat upholstery is in good shape. HUGE luggage area in rear. Fold down back seat to connect to uphosltered cargo area and it makes a very large bed. Cool rear seat arrangement faces each other with fold out table (this is what my daughter loved). Water pump and timing belt replaced some years ago.

THE BAD:   a.) not running  [see above]   b.) worse: hasn't been run in several years (don't remember when, but the inspection sticker expired July 2010. I would imagine the fuel injection system would be pretty gummed up, aside from other problems of sitting idle. c.) when it was running, the AC didn't work  d.) van needed - and still would need - a new tensioner for the serpentine belt. Not long before it stopped starting, I'd replaced the serpentine belt but didn't replace the tensioner. The old tensioner had gotten stiff, and so it made the new belt squeal. It ran fine, but was noisy. d.) missing sliding window on passenger side rear door, damaged mirror on driver side, some loose panels inside  e.) latch doesn't snap tight on rear door, f.) driver seat very hard to shift postion, sometimes I've had to unbolt to change f.) various other issues of a twenty year old van that has been sitting a while that are not coming to mind right now

THE UGLY: faded paint (especially on hood and roof), bend in hood where someone tried to shut it with the brace in place, a bit of rust on lower sides, dirty carpet

IMPORTANT:   We have about 75+ guests coming next weekend. THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION WITH NO RESERVE. VAN MUST BE PICKED UP BY MAY 24th 5PM at the latest. Buyer must put down $175 deposit that will not be refunded if you do not have the van moved by May 24th at 5pm. There is a salvage yard nearby that might pick it up and hold it for a few days for a fee, but you would need to arrange that with them. Nice guys, I think they'd do it for a fair rate. Thanks!     -questions, submit Q to seller or call Scott at 717 321 3321.

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?

Fri, 16 May 2014

The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.

Feds allege widespread Volkswagen cheating on clean-air rules

Fri, Sep 18 2015

Volkswagen intentionally installed software in nearly a half-million diesel vehicles that helped the cars evade substandard results on emissions tests, the federal government charged Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to the German automaker, saying the company's software broke the law by violating two provisions in the Clean Air Act. Circumventing the standards meant affected cars emitted as much as 40 times the allowable level of certain pollutants. Both the EPA and California Air Resources Board have launched investigations. In its notice of violations, the EPA said Volkswagen officials admitted to installing and concealing what they call a "defeat device," which was designed to detect when the cars were undergoing official emissions tests – and only turn on emissions controls during that time. "Our goal now is to ensure that the affected cars are brought into compliance, to dig more deeply into the extent and implications of Volkswagen's efforts to cheat on clean air rules, and to take appropriate further action," said Richard Corey, executive officer of CARB. The allegations cover approximately 482,000 vehicles sold in the United States over the past seven years. Cars involved include diesel versions of the Jetta, Beetle, Audi A3 and Golf manufactured between the 2009 and 2015 model years. Passats manufactured for the 2014 and 2015 model years are also included. Federal officials note there is no safety danger to motorists, but the cars will be recalled for repairs. If true, Volkswagen faces a fine that could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- likely higher than the $300 million charge the EPA levied last November at Hyundai and Kia for exaggerating the fuel-economy in several models. The charges also put a tremendous dent into the company's plans to increase sales of its "Clean Diesel" vehicles in North America. In a written statement, Volkswagen Group of America acknowledged it had received the notices from the EPA and CARB. "VW is cooperating with the investigation; we are unable to comment further at this time," it said. Federal officials said the defeat-device software was uncovered during an independent analysis by researchers at West Virginia University, who in working with the International Council on Clean Transportation, a non-governmental organization, raised questions about emissions levels.
