This van has been my baby for years, and now it is with a heavy heart that I must find her a great new home!  Volkswagen only made the diesel version of this very popular camper for one year, so they are quite rare!  The original stock engine was only 1.6 liters, and was woefully underpowered to run the vehicle.  I have had a brand new 1.9 liter engine installed, and it has less than 2000 miles on it!!!  It goes somewhat without saying that the attraction of the diesel engine is its ability to run on biodiesel, and the ease with which it could be converted to run on straight grease.  The upgrade in power has really helped with speed on the highway and up steep grades.  The engine has never smoked, it has no leaks, runs at just the right temp, and starts easily in the cold.  Nearly all of the important mechanical components of the van have been replaced and upgraded.  I have a pile of receipts from both myself and the previous owner, and the van has been recently serviced by the fine folks at Asheville Vee Dub here in North Carolina.  They work exclusively on the repair and restoration of old Volkswagens, and really know their stuff.  In all, it runs beautifully.  


In terms of the camping equipment, the stove and the sink work great, while the fridge has never functioned.  All of the electrical stuff in the van has been fixed-sockets, lights, etc.  There is an auxiliary battery installed under the front seat which allows you to run the electrical equipment while parked without draining the battery in the engine.  This makes camping extremely comfortable and easy!!  The pop-top is in decent shape-it is original, and has a few repaired tears.  The mattresses are also original-they have some wear and tear but they’re completely comfortable and functional.  The van is missing the front table that sits behind the driver’s seat, but the table that swings over the backseat is in great condition.  The two front seats have a lot of wear in the upholstery, so I’ve covered the chairs with soft covers and I’ve always found it comfortable that way.  If you’re interested in getting it back into mint condition, it would need a paint job, though the great news is that there is really no rust to speak of on the whole body of the vehicle.  Rust is generally the kiss of death in these cars, so to have one with no rust is quite valuable.  


I have had some of the best times of my life in this van, with my boyfriend and his young son, on road trips, at festivals, camping, and just generally traveling together.  It is very special to me, and I’ve made sure over the years that it’s gotten all of the attention it deserved.  It is truly a rare find, and I hope that whomever drives away with it will feel the same way!


So, without further ado, here’s the total rundown: 


-Brand new 1.9 liter Diesel Engine, less than 2000 miles!!

-Brand new clutch, installed at the same time as the engine

-4 Brand new tires, also less than 2000 miles

-Radiator less than 3 years old

-Alternator 1 year old

-Brand new Starter

-Stove and Sink run perfectly

-Original stock radio with two old and two new speakers

-GoWesty Auxiliary Battery Kit installed

-Fully functional electrical equipment

-Fully functional sink and stove

-Pop-top in great working shape


**I am willing to consider delivery on a case by case basis, with travel cost reimbursement!!**

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
