Fully restored in 2006 , 210,000 on body, 28,000 on rebuild. New thermostat , waterpump and hoses. Flushed with the CORRECT hot pink coolant . New spare tire. Watercooled not airboxer. No leaks. Garage kept. Driven once a week other than trips . November 2012 it was driven from Knoxville tn to central Arizona and back . Tried and true. Good tires . Wish I could keep her forever. The paint is immaculate , not a single ding . Even have the mini ice trays ! Car has been babied, ran on premium gas and synthetic oil."
This wonderful vans name is turtle dragon . I know that sounds odd but to me it means it moves great distances ( slow and steady ) and with a sense of adventure.
This van had immediate concerns from its last listing for being a bit vague . This is because I thought pictures alone would speak for themselves . I guess not !
First off people had serious concerns about an accident in 2002 . This was a scuff on the bumper before its restoration in 2006 . There is absolutely no flaws in the paint . I would wager to say its the best paint on any vw on eBay currently . No bs . Immaculate .
I purchased this van from the second owners . The original owner after its restoration was an older gentleman who completed bucket list adventures in Arizona and up state new York from what I understand . I purchased it from the second owners wife after he passed suddenly from a stroke . It was his pride and joy . This van is absolutely complete .
I contacted the man who restored it and with him being completely out of my purchasing I felt I got straight answers that were cohesive with the previous owner . He mentioned this van was stripped and galvanized . Which is a process involving a zinc coating to resist rust and an immaculate paint Job that he said was nearly $300 a gallon paint and top coat . He mentioned this was his final restoration and stripped another van to finish it off. Didn't spare expense .
The body has 200,000 and 28,000 on rebuild . I'm not some mechanic car guy who can tell you a bunch of technicalities . Just experience on the road and an experienced mechanics approval . I do understand how to baby a vehicle and have kept her clean and stored dry .
Synthetic oil and premium gas .
Extras with the van are a dry cover for garage , sun reflector window visors that fit in every window . Extra large table for inside .( that's two tables . ) pillow top for top bunk . There's also a small port o potti that has a cover that matches the van .
Discreet . Never used .
Every bulb from license plate lights to headlights are functioning . No damage . Looks practically new inside . A very well treated garage kept van.
Every bulb from license plate lights to headlights are functioning . No damage . Looks practically new inside . A very well treated garage kept van.
When I purchased I took it to the vw specialist MF AUTO in Knoxville. The shop foreman looked at it for six hours and could only recommend a new spare tire. His words " I would drive her across country " and that's just what me and turtle dragon did to get acquainted . From Knoxville to central Arizona's hopi mesas and back . I did this in winter and it performed expertly . Even surviving a snow storm In nearly 10 degree weather.now that was an adventure .
I have receipts for its new transmission when it was restored . All Bosch hi temp hoses . New cooling system with care to use the hot pink euro coolant that is quite pricey . I flushed fluids and did oil change upon my return. Tires are great . Belts all new .
Another interesting thing about this van is that it was a special order from Germany. Mind the " specially built for plaque on dash " It has euro bumper and plates . Retro fitted headlights and custom front end. Really a head turner . None just like this . I have all original Manuals and every key . Ac and heat work .
Another common question " why am I selling "
Well I would like to die In the van but I have hopes of starting my first business . This being one of my possessions that not necessary in my life currently though I wish I could rationalize different .
Negatives - could use two New speakers in the back and a higher quality stereo . Ac could stand to be charged though the back unit will blow your hair from front seat . The tint has slightly turned purple from use of amonia cleaner, but in no way does it pull from its beauty . Also it could use a new gasket on the windshield wiper cleaner reservoir . This commonly shrinks with age , can't blame the van though its going on 30 years old. I have taken many pictures in the brightest light possible to show the paint and body. There are no dings , no scrapes . Perfect paint and body. This is no exaggeration , you will see in person if you are serious and I welcome a magnifying glass !
Hopefully this listing will get the attention it deserves with a stronger write up . This is a Tennessee van . No salty winter roads and lightly used van. This has never been a daily driver. Just trips for all previous owners.

Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
