 You are bidding on a 1999 full EuroVan Winnebago camper in a No Reserve auction. It has below average miles (104,246) and is in good condition. We have owned it for 9 1/2 years, and both we and the previous owner have always garaged it. It has been driven very little in the winter, and has lived its life in Colorado (minimal salt on roads). It has worked well on the 4 long trips we have taken it on, but haven't used it as much as we expected in terms of shorter or weekend trips, and have only put 54,000 miles on it during our ownership. Under normal mostly highway conditions, we get about 20 miles per gallon;  on this summer's trip to Alaska with a fairly heavy load including a 17' kayak acting as a sail going into the wind, we averaged 19.6 mpg. This is about the size of a Dodge Caravan extended minivan, so unlike larger campers, it can be easily driven in the city and parked in a normal parking space. While we have never done so, it could be used as a daily driver in addition to a camper.

Features:
Pop-up camper with beds up and down, so it sleeps a cozy 4.
Optional middle bench seat that has never been used to increase seating capacity to 6.
Propane furnace.
Refrigerator running on cabin battery, plug in, or propane.
Two burner propane stove, Sink
CD Player (2007)
Yakima rack on top for bikes or kayaks (those attachments not included). There is also a bike rack that goes on the rear tailgate that we got from the previous owner that we have never used that we are happy to toss in.
A second newer mounted spare tire in almost new condition. Also, a pair of never used tire chains (cables).
Brand new windshield.
It has a cream colored clear bra on the front (see picture).
Captains chairs in front swivel 180 deg to use as seats in cabin. Two tables that collapse and are stowed between drivers seat and frig.

The car is in good condition. There are minor scrapes on the passenger side of the front bumper and center of the rear bumper (see last two pictures for detail), and there are half a dozen minor chips in the paint above the clear bra on the front or on the side - typical for a car of 100,000 miles in good but not pristine condition. There are a couple of minor scrapes on top of the roof that don't really show (as a result of not taking the kayak off cleanly). The tires are fair (24,500 miles). When my mechanic checked the car out before this summer's Alaska trip, he said that the brakes had about half of their life left. The engine battery was new in January and the cabin battery new in June. It has a fresh oil change and is ready for another Alaska trip.

Note: A few of the pictures showing the interior show apparent dots or splotches that aren't real - the flash caught rain drops. After waiting for the rain to stop for 2 1/2 days, a rarity in Colorado, I gave up so the pix aren't quite up to snuff.

If you have any questions, please use the Ask a Question link or call Bill @ 303-809-6763. Please ask questions before bidding. Your bid is a legally binding contract. You or your representative are welcome (and encouraged) to inspect the car before bidding. I am in the Denver area. The $500 deposit should be by PayPal or overnight check within two days. The balance should be by certified check within 7 days. Bank transfers are not acceptable due to issues with scammers. Please plan on picking up the vehicle or arranging shipping within 20 days.

For those not familiar with EBay policies, the Buy It Now price of $22,500 will disappear shortly after bidding starts - it is not indefinitely available on a no reserve auction. (The last car I sold on EBay had the Buy It Now price go away after bidding started, and a bidder was unhappy that the final bid price was above the original Buy It Now price.) If you want to lock in the Buy It Now price, don't wait. In recent months, most of the EBay listed Eurovan campers of similar mileage and age have had asking prices of $31-41,000, or have had a lot more miles on them.

If you have less than 3 feedback responses or negative feedback, call me before bidding, or I will cancel your bid. Having had 4 scammers trying to mess up the auction the last time I sold a car on EBay, it isn't worth the headaches of dealing with unidentified no feedback bidders. Scammers, don't even bother trying to mess with the auction - you won't get the bank account information you want from me under any circumstances.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...

Volkswagen kills planned 10-speed DSG

Sat, Sep 19 2015

If there are two things in this wild and crazy industry that keep growing, they are the size of cars and the number of gears in their transmissions. It wasn't ten years ago that cars with six forward gears – either manually or automatically shifted – were a relative rarity. Now, there are a multitude of sub-$30,000 cars with at least a six-speed automatic. But while eight- and nine-speed automatics are becoming increasingly common, no automaker has delivered a production ten-speed automatic (which may be a good thing, considering the reception to most nine-speed gearboxes). Ford and General Motors were collaborating on one as recently as April 2013, and Hyundai has was allegedly working on one way back in 2011. Most recently, though, Volkswagen announced a ten-speed, dual-clutch automatic in November 2014. And now, less than two years later, the project has apparently been shelved. That's according to our Vegemite-loving friends at Motoring.com.au, which report that both the cost and complexity of project has proved unfeasible for VW. "In the end, we had to balance what our priorities were with our transmissions and other things are more important and more urgent," an unnamed source at the Frankfurt Motor Show told the Aussie website. The ten-speed DSG was slated for a number of three- and four-cylinder models from VAG's entire range of affordable vehicles. It was also, allegedly, to feature in the ultra-high-performance Golf R400, Motoring reports. It's unclear how its cancellation will impact the company's future projects, if VW will look elsewhere for its small-car gearboxes, of if there's another – perhaps conventional – new transmission in the pipeline. Currently, VW's highest gear-count dual-clutch is the seven-speed DSG, shown above with company CEO Martin Winterkorn.

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
