History: This may not be the one the little old lady just drove to church on Sunday but it is the one the minister drove to church and across the United States to visit family. My grandfather, the original owner, purchased the Vanagon almost 30 years ago from Century Motors Inc. in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Vanagon has been a staple in my grandparents lifestyle for the last 30 years. The vanagon has made many trips to visit kids, grand kids and even some great grand kids. We have all enjoyed a camping trip or taking it canoeing. There have been a lot of great memories along the way for the first owners, due to senior expenses it is not time to pass it onto the second owner.
Condition: Over the last 30 years this vehicle has been well maintained. I have tried to document the interior and exterior condition in pictures. It was service most if it's life at a VW dealership until they no longer had a tech with the skills to work on the model. Then a retire tech from the dealership serviced it out of his own garage. The vanagon runs well, doesn't seem to leak any fluids. The engine was replaced at 220xxx miles and we have recently had the clutch serviced and a new alternator installed (over $600.00 receipt will be provided to high bidder) The interior is very good condition for it's age (see pictures) right down to the original VW floor mats. The exterior does have some small dents and dings, surface rust and the back bumper is wavy probably due to pulling canoes. Items I know that do not work include the A/C. and the hoses coming out of the windshield fluid wiper tank seem to leak, they probably just need replaced.
Features: Include, pop up roof w/double bed, refrigerator, propane stove, stainless steel sink, electrical hook-ups (none of these have not been used for a while) There are also two tables that came with the vanagon, lots of cabinet and store space. We are also including the original window sticker, WV manuals and manuals for the stove and other items.
Onsite Inspection: Please feel free to make arrangements via email for an onsite inspection. We are located 1 hour from Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, OH.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
