1988 Volkswagen Vanagon 7-passenger transporter.

I'm very sorry for the previous listing error of this VW an hour ago.  I had to cancel several bids to correct my error.
This VW does have a reserve, the 1989 VW we have for sale is the one with no reserve.


This is just a very clean and unmolested Vanagon ready for a proud new owner!  
LOTS of photos at the end of this page, all taken within the last week.  Enjoy!

Runs, drives and looks excellent!

JVC AM/FM/CD/iPod connection and 4-speakers sounds great!

Cold factory A/C and excellent heat with working front defrost fan.

Fresh quality repaint (original color) late December (from OUR paint shop) as original was faded and clear coat was peeling.

There is a little discoloration at the bottom of the original VW windshield, but the glass is crystal clear above that inch, no nicks, cracks or scratches!

This looks to be a non-smoking VW as there are no smells or odors inside, no burn marks, etc.

No rips in the upholstery, excellent headliner,  good all around VW!


If you've been looking for a nice Vanagon, I really don't think you'll be disappointed in this beauty! 
Clean Florida title.  We will be happy to assist with transport if you'd rather have it shipped via auto transport instead of driving home.



Questions?  

Please just ask and I'll be happy to answer them.  Perfect feedback for a reason, honesty!  
We're a VW repair and restoration shop with an occasional VW to sell now and then.  
This is not a new VW,  it's 26-years old now.  
So,  no warranty is offered or implied,  and it's sold AS IS.  
If you live in the area,  please feel free to stop by and take a look at the VW in person.  
We're not hiding anything and we'd be happy to talk to you.  
 

HAPPY BIDDING!!

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
