I have spent countless hours and a lot of money restoring this vehicle and getting it to the point where it is now.  It started out in life as a Rialta Motorhome. The Rialta is one of the most desired and sought-after motorhomes ever made; restored, a Rialta will go for over $20,000 today.  One of the main attributes of the Rialta is that it has a Volkswagen drivetrain--which means parts will always be readily available, and German engineering and reliability simply can't be beat.

The previous owner removed all of the old, out-dated, motorhome interior, plumbing, and wiring.  Since I've had it, I recarpeted the walls, put in a new ceiling, resealed the roof (including new vents and extra supports), and installed new window seals where needed.  I also stripped the floor, coated it completely with rust-proofing primer/sealer, and covered it with several layers of extremely durable, truck bed coating.  I haven't finished everything, but the vehicle is at a point now where you could install your new interior--whatever and however you'd like it to be.

If you're not looking to use it as a motorhome, this vehicle could certainly be used as a very roomy stand-up van or work truck just as it is now.  I'm about 5'10" and I can walk around comfortably inside this vehicle with no crouching at all.  It is so roomy inside that it almost seems like a studio apartment--so much bigger inside than a standard van or Eurovan (it's about 6' x 11' inside) .  As big as it is on the inside, the outside of it is just about small enough to fit in a standard parking space--which is a real plus!  From the outside, it is very inconspicuous--and it basically just looks like a wide, extended van and not an RV--that's one of the best aspects of this vehicle!  I had planned to do this as part of the restoration.  The vehicle currently DOES run and drive but I had planned to restore the engine along with everything else as well, if I was going to keep it.  I really wish I could keep this vehicle, and I originally bought it with the intention of turning it back into a customized motorhome and keeping it forever, but I ran out of money and need to sell it now to pay down some bills.  The windshield has a few bullseyes and cracks but the rest of the glass is in great shape.  The exhaust may need a small section repaired/replaced, and the A/C will need to be looked at too--it doesn't blow very cold, especially on very hot days.  The rear suspension creaks somewhat when backing out of the driveway etc., but I was told this may be normal.  There are some other minor issues that may need tending to as well--but then again, that is to be expected with an 18 year old vehicle.  In any event, I suggest (if you're interested in this vehicle), that you come by and check it out for yourself before bidding, but either way, happy bidding!

Volkswagen bringing new Tiguan to Frankfurt

Sun, Sep 6 2015

As expected, Volkswagen will introduce the new Tiguan crossover at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. While the brand hasn't quite gotten on the endless teaser train, VW's German Facebook page has released a simple shot of the new crossover covered up on the Wolfsburg factory line. We're not able to learn much from the single image released by VW Deutschland, as the sheet being used hides virtually all the body's details. The caption for the image is no help either, simply saying that the first Tiguan for Frankfurt has rolled off the Wolfsburg line. So yeah, that's about it. But while this image isn't terribly informative, we already know quite a bit about the new Tiguan. Its looks will likely be inspired by the Cross Coupe GTE and CrossBlue Concepts, while additional body styles could be offered later in the CUV's life. For performance fans, there will likely be a 300-horsepower R model, in addition to the standard array of gas and diesel engines. Check out the image from VW Germany's Facebook page, and then be sure to head back in a few weeks for the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.
