THIS WESTY IS IN NICE CONDITION FOR A 30 YEAR OLD VAN. I DID A SUBARU  2.5 DOHC CONVERSION AT ABOUT 139,000 MI. THIS CONVERSION WOULD COST ABOUT  $7,500.00  --- THIS INCLUDES STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST, NEW HIGH TORQUE STARTER, NEW CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, FLYWHEEL, NEW RADIATOR, NEW FRONT AND REAR HEATER CORES. THE ENGINE CAME FROM A 1999 SUBARU OUTBACK WITH UNKNOWN MILEAGE. I WAS TOLD IT HAD NEW HEAD GASKETS AND TIMING BELT, THOUGH I CAN NOT VERIFY. IT RUNS VERY NICE. IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC ENGINE MONITOR THAT READS OUT RPM, TEMP. VOLTAGE, MPG, AND SO ON. IT HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE, NO OIL LEAKS, A VERY CLEAN CONVERSION. I CONSISTENTLY GET 23 - 25 MILES PER GALLON. I LIVE AT HIGH ALTITUDE  6,600', AND SURROUNDED BY HIGH MOUNTAIN ROADS, DOES GREAT. I DO WISH IT HAD A 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I THINK THESE EARLIER VANAGONS HAD LOWER GEAR RATIOS. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, THOUGH I BELIEVE I WOULD REPLACE WHEELS AND TIRES WITH 15" , SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD UPGRADE. THE FUEL TANK HAS A NEW SENDER, AND NEW HOSE KIT. I HAVE AN AUX. BATTERY KIT, BUT NOT INSTALLED.

THE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION. I SEE NO EVIDENCE OF REPAIRED BODY DAMAGE. I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD RECENTLY, NICE AND CLEAR ! UNDERSIDE IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO RUST, THE EXTERIOR BODY HAS SURFACE RUST SCATTERED AROUND THE LOWER PART OF THE BODY, VERY SUPERFICIAL. SMALL DINGS HERE AND THERE, BUT VERY SOLID. ALL DOORS WORK WELL AND ALIGN NICELY. THE TOP CANVAS IS IN OKAY SHAPE, HAS NO TEARS, AND SCREEN AND ZIPPERS ARE IN DECENT SHAPE. IT'S JUST OLD. ALL THE CUSHIONS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, THE BEDS FOLD OUT NICELY AND WORK AS THEY SHOULD. I  REPLACED THE FRONT SEATS WITH SEATS FROM A 1990 VANAGON, THEY ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN THE ORIGINAL. THOUGH THEY ARE GREY. I REPLACED THE PROPANE TANK  WITH A NEW ONE 3 YEARS AGO, THE STOVE WORKS GREAT. THE SINK AND FAUCET ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, I HAVE A NEW WATER PUMP, BUT HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT. THE REFRIGERATOR WORKS ON AC/DC, BUT THE GAS MODE DOES NOT.  THIS VAN DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. IF YOU LIVE IN A HOT PART OF THE COUNTRY, MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU. I REMOVED ALL THE COMPONENTS. WE JUST DO NOT NEED A/C IN THE MOUNTAINS, BESIDES THESE SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE PROBLEMATIC. THE CABINETS ALL ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND WORKING ORDER.

Volkswagen posts quarterly profit despite drop in sales

Thu, Oct 29 2020

Volkswagen returned to profit in the third quarter as surging Chinese demand for luxury cars helped offset a 1.1% drop in vehicle deliveries due to the pandemic, sending its shares as much as 3% higher on Thursday. The German automaker's return to the black comes amid spiking coronavirus cases in Europe that led governments in France and Germany to order their countries back into strict national lockdowns on Wednesday. "The coronavirus remains a central problem," Volkswagen Chief Financial Officer Frank Witter said in a conference call with reporters. "This situation now is anything but relaxed." But Witter said the group expected the economic recovery to continue and did "not anticipate any nationwide lockdowns in larger markets." Witter said the takeover of U.S. truck maker Navistar International by Volkswagen's trucking unit Traton was an important acquisition, but the "current economic climate will not make this easy." Volkswagen reiterated it expects to post a profit for the full year, saying its business "recovered noticeably" in the third quarter as sales in China of premium vehicles, including Audi and Porsche sports cars, rose 3%. The quarterly performance was also aided by a series of cost-cutting measures launched earlier this year. Volkswagen said its net liquidity rose to 24.8 billion euros from 18.7 billion at the end of the second quarter. Excluding one-time items, third-quarter operating profit was 3.2 billion euros ($3.8 billion), down from 4.8 billion euros a year earlier, but up from a second quarter loss of 1.7 billion. In a note to clients, Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois described the results as a "solid performance with strong cash, but relatively muted in the context of the (auto) sector recovery." Last week, German rival Daimler reported a record 24% jump in Chinese demand for its Mercedes-Benz cars, boosting its margins in the third quarter. Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot manufacturer PSA Group both also posted solid results this week. Witter said Volkswagen could not say for sure whether it would meet EU CO2 emissions targets this year, adding "it will be a tough race." At 1030 GMT, Volkswagen shares were up 2.9% at 129.20 euros.

VW pulls Lamborghini and Bentley from the Paris Motor Show

Tue, Sep 20 2016

It's been slightly more than a year since the news that Volkswagen had intentionally cheated on diesel emissions testing broke. Since then, the company's reputation and image have suffered and it has struggled to regain its footing and composure. The automaker is shelling out billions in fines, so cost cutting is inevitable. Today, Reuters reports that Volkswagen subsidiaries Lamborghini and Bentley won't bring their elaborate displays to the Paris Motor Show next week. Auto shows can cost automakers millions of dollars, especially for supercar and luxury car brands that constantly try to compete and one-up with each other. Much of the money and fanfare goes to catering the media, and if an automaker has nothing new to reveal it can be difficult to justify the expense. The company told Reuters that it plans to attend smaller events that focus more on potential buyers. The Volkswagen group as a whole has shifted it's focus, both when it comes to products and auto shows like Paris. Next week, the automaker will be focusing on electric vehicles and electromobility. The company plans to reveal a new EV with 373 miles of range, eclipsing both the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt. Volkswagen has plans for 30 new electric vehicles by 2025. Lamborghini and Bentley aren't the only major automakers skipping Paris. Ford, Volvo, and Aston Martin have all decided to save money and focus their efforts elsewhere. Related Video:

This month's deals on wheels: 3 cars with incentives, rebates

Fri, Apr 7 2017

On television, they come at you rapid-fire: truck deals, car deals, SUV deals. You don't have time to read the fine print, and many sound too good to be true. What follows are three deals that are both good and true. And check out our entire list of incentives and rebates. VOLKSWAGEN JETTA: With Dieselgate winding down and VW's all-new three-row SUV – the Atlas – winding up, Volkswagen is selling sedans with incentives. The Jetta remains VW's bestseller in the US. If you're looking for an immodest deal on modest transportation, you can do worse than a lease on the 2017 Jetta S. THE DETAILS: Purchase at 0.9% APR (no down payment required, available on new 2017 Jetta models financed by Volkswagen Credit, participating dealers only). At that rate, you could save $1,600 over the life of a loan. Offer ends May 1, but given the tepid market interest in sedans, incentives will probably continue through the balance of the model year. NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB: While some buyers will wait for Nissan's recently announced Titan King Cab, and commercial users will grab the regular cab and 8-foot bed, we'll recommend a lightly optioned 4X4 crew cab with standard V8 power, California-penned sheetmetal and a made-in-America footprint. Nissan's full-size pickup is finally a credible competitor in the pickup segment. THE DETAILS: With $3,500 cash back, on top of whatever deal you negotiate, Nissan is effectively reducing the window sticker of a Titan S crew cab by almost 10 percent. MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER: Some cars show up on buyers' radar, some don't. Some aren't anywhere near the radar room. Mitsubishi's Outlander is one of those. But that doesn't diminish its basic attractiveness, especially for young families looking for an affordable three-row SUV with responsive power and competitive features. Add one of the industry's longest warranties and a compelling deal, and you suddenly have reason to track down a Mitsubishi dealer. THE DETAILS: It couldn't be simpler – negotiate your best deal on a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander, and then receive a $2,000 rebate; on a remaining 2016, it's $3,000. We'd select a fully-equipped GT 3.0S – AWC, which hooks Mitsubishi's V6 to a conventional automatic (vs. a CVT on lower-priced models) and all-wheel drive. That's a window sticker of about $34,000, and you can count on an aggressive posture by the dealer to get your business. Mitsubishi Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying Buying Guide Truck SUV Sedan
