Hello. You are looking at neat old blast from the past. 1978 Volkswagen Westfalia camper bus van. It has the 1800 CC engine and manual transmission. It starts, runs and drives. The engine was said to have been rebuilt less than 250 miles ago, but could use some carb work and tuning from sitting. The brakes are fairly new, but could use some adjustment on the front. The van has some rust along the edges as you can see, but the underside is very solid. Tires are really good. It has the top that pops up with the canvas. The canvas is good overall but does have a couple tears that need to be fixed. Its full out camper optioned out. With some going over, and freshing up, this would make a good traveler vehicle. The milage shows 15,000 but who knows if its rolled over or not.
If you have any questions, please call Mike at 989-672-0896. I am just listing this for him. The van is located between Caro and Cass City Michigan in the Thumb area about 2 hours north of Detroit. $500 deposit due upon purchase, and balance due within 7 days of auction end. Mike will deliver within 100 miles of Caro Mi. for free, anything over that, and its buyers responsibility to arrange transportation. As for storage, Call Mike at the number above to make arrangements. please do not wait until auction end to ask questions. You are welcome to setup the time with the owner to inspect the vehicle. You are buying a used vehicle as-is with no warranties. Thanks for looking. Please see my other auctions. God Bless. |

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The 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,
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
