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.

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.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
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.
