The Story:
I had great dream of summers on the road, though my summers are full of labor intensive work instead....so no time to enjoy this gem. Full exterior restoration by Hennepin Tech, this is a great ready-to-go running and driving classic camper van. This baby had less than 500 miles put on it in the last 2 years, so it's time to let her go to someone who can love it up! It has MN collector plates so no need for tabs or yearly registration. This has been stored winters in heated garage since restoration, and has lived indoors for the past decade. A lot of work has been put into this baby. It has been in my extended family for years, and now it's time to move on to my "domestic" projects. Details: The door roller assembly was having problems, so I brought it to Good Carma in Minneapolis to have the rebuild the roller guides. They did a great job and the sliding door functions great. There was a little damage to the trim where the door closes from when the guides were off. Please see detail in photos, I have included any noticable blemishes, including a small scrape on the new paint on the rear bumper.. It's very clean, and gets a lot of good looks on the road. I offer full disclosure, and want you to know what you are getting so you feel good about the sale. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any detailed pics of any specific areas. So, I offer this to you with a good heart, and please take good care of her! Please, serious bidders only, and deposit of $1500 due via paypal within 48 hours of auction close. I will not arrange shipping for this vehicle, so all pickup/shipping arrangements to be made by buyer. Van is located in NE Minneapolis, in my heated garage. Thank you for bidding. |

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively.
