Great aircooled Vanagon Westfalia
These great cars are getting harder and harder to find. Here's your chance to become a member of an exclusive community!
Recently on a 10472miles roadtrip all across the states this great little camper has seen almost any corner and every hill of the country!
If it has always been your dream to take a roadtrip to all the national parks all over the country, this is the perfect mini RV for you. Fit in any parking spot and have your house with you, nice little fridge and sink and plenty of cabinets to store all your camping needs! And the best you can even sleep four adults in two seperate beds!
But I'm sure if you're reading this you already know all about the westys ;) so lets talk about this one!
The goods:
-low mileage only 106.000miles
-spent her life in the sunshine State Florida so almost NO RUST
-clear Title
-turn key and go wherever you want
-very clean engine
-new Douglas tires + alignement front and back
-new fuel pressure regulator
-tricky stuff like the computer and airflowmeter are tested with good ones and work
-new air, fuel and oil filters + oilchange
-all fluids topped up
-no boiling radiator or seized-up pistons as its aircooled!
-nice original chrome wheelcabs
-new fuelpump
-new cylinders and valves on engine left side!
-fridge and sink work
-new driveshaft
-new coldstart injector if you're planning to bring her somewhere cold ;)
-replaced all steeringcouplings with new ones
-new Distributor and ignition parts
-CD-radio
-all gauges and lights work
-new 'bright light' headlights
-new valvecover gaskets
-not leaking any oil!
-18MpG
-original Westfalia propane tank to run the fridge and stove
-several relais replaced
-front seats sviwel 360°
-if I can drive over 10.000miles all around the country in just 2 months you can too!
-Sidewinder awning in perfect condition
-comes with alot of useful equipment like extension cords, waterhose, tools, fishing rod and more
-offer includes an impeccable La-Z-Boy recliner chair super comfortable
-more that i count to general regular service
-available for testdrive and inspection
The bads:
-large temperature changes over the day can cause tank to draw a vacuum which ocasionaly requires you to open the gascap before the first start of the day
-no aircooled VW should be driven faster then 65mph!
-I replaced the original 30 years old mattress for the top bed with a new memory foam mattress (kept the westy covers)
-the leg for the front table is missing
-the left burner of the stove is not working, maybe easy maybe not, I only needed one so I never found out ;)
-the fridge is nice to have but the don't get really cold like all westys
-sliding window lock on the right side doesn't lock
-nickel-sized rusthole under windshield on the right side
-pop-top canvas has a rip, which is taped up
-as I wrote in the goods she is a Florida car, but the turnside is that the humidity loosened parts of the paper roofceiling, I used to have a flag pinned on the roof to cover it up, but If you're more ambitious this should be one of those DIY things ;)
-crack in the front bumper plastic edge
-like all old cars they require alot of attention and care, but they are unique little cars and well wort your while!
I'm not making a living selling Vanagons, so this one here will be alot cheaper then any of the professional dealer ones like from GoWesty, but I took good care of her for the short time I had the pleasure to own a real Westy and am proud to have toured the states in a real classic, but all good things must come to an end, so this is your opportunity to buy a roadtrip-tested Westy and do that trip of a lifetime you always wanted, or simply use her for the weekend camping trip, no matter your plans there's no better car for them then the great Vanagon Westfalia!
Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and special picture requests, even a roadtrip-report ;)
Thanks for reading and happy bidding!
btw: on the rockerpanel picture the little colourful little things are magnets to prove that there is no body fill anywhere
and I hope you understand that I had to put a reserve price to my absolute minimum, but please feel free to bid, you might be eligible for a second chance offer if she doesn't sell ;)

Volkswagen sketches Geneva-bound concept
Wed, Feb 25 2015Volkswagen has released a pair of sketches that give us our first official glimpse at the company's new concept car, set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Details are slim – the car doesn't even have a name yet – but we do have some facts about VW's swoopy new showcar. First off, it's a sedan – well, "four-door coupe" – but is said to have a hatchback configuration. Autoblog has also learned that the car will be powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a TSI gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, and uses an all-wheel-drive configuration that's likely similar to that in the recently unveiled Cross Coupe GTE concept. Volkswagen says this showcar uses a new, progressive design language for the brand. And while it sort of looks like a dead ringer for a new CC, we're told this concept is positioned above that model. For now, that's all we know, but we expect a host of other details to be released closer to the car's official debut in Geneva next week. Stay tuned.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
