This is a clean solid example of the Vanagon Westfalia. Has normal wear for a vehicle of this age but it has never been in an accident or repainted. Most exterior damage is shown around the rear fenders and the passenger panel in front of the rear fender. Nothing major or too distracting. Clear coat is coming off in selected areas most notably on the front above the headlights. This van is an excellent restoration candidate. Mechanically sound, the engine runs strong and the transmission shifts smooth. I don't know what the mileage was when the engine work was done but the engine does have AMC cylinder heads so either the engine was rebuilt or the heads were replaced. No under carriage rust. Everything functions as it should except the a/c which needs to be charged.  I bought the van with the intent to restore and ship to Hawaii but my plans fell through. I have replaced numerous things to get her in good shape.

I upgraded the wheels to 16" alloys with Michelin 215/65/16 tires. It has a center console, front bra, rear bug screen, shady boy awning, Thule rack and new pop top seal kit from GoWesty.
This 1989 model is unusual in that it did not come with power windows,power door locks or power mirrors. I put on the power mirrors as a personal preference but they adjust manually.
Interior is very clean and complete except for rear cushion behind the rear seat.
Front seats swivel, full privacy curtains all around and snap in front windshield privacy curtain included. I don't think the stove was ever used as it still retains the protective film on the back splash. Pop top bed is in excellent condition.  The canvas on the pop top had a hole on the driver's side so I patched it with gray marine canvas. It works fine but I planned to replace the top with a new three window model as this original one only has the front screen.
Recent work performed

Front wheel bearings replaced
Fuel pump/filter replaced
Gas tank drained
Fuel injectors replaced
Water pump replaced
Antenna replaced
Wheels/tires replaced
Mirrors replaced
New fire extinguisher

Title was lost but I have had the DMV forms signed and notarized for new owner. CA registration requires $700 in back fees as this was not registered non-op so California bidders keep this in mind while bidding. There are no back registration fees due in any other states.

Please ask any questions and I will try to answer as best as I can.
I can take and send pictures of anything you'd like just ask.

VW gets help from Daimler to deal with VW scandal

Sun, Oct 18 2015

Volkswagen has hired Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt, a compliance officer, away from Daimler. Normally, this wouldn't be particularly big news. The reason you might care is summed up rather succinctly by Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen, who said that Hohmann-Dennhardt is being tasked with helping the entire German automobile industry "clean up the collateral damage from the diesel deceit." Hohmann-Dennhardt had to be released early from her contract with Daimler in order to take on this difficult role with an inter-country rival. VW Chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch thanked "Daimler AG for agreeing to our request to the early termination of Dr. Hohmann-Dennhardt's contract." What makes this move even more interesting is that Daimler and Volkswagen have had a terse relationship in recent years due to the poaching of important employees from one side to the other. According to Bloomberg, Hohmann-Dennhardt's contract with Daimler had been secured through February of 2017, but with her early release, she will start her new role on VW's board of management in January of 2016. Daimler, for its part, released a statement suggesting the decision was made "in the interests of the good corporate governance of the German automotive industry." Prior to her employment at Daimler, Hohmann-Dennhardt served for 11 years as a judge. Reading between the lines, it seems VW's massive corporate scandal has rocked the German auto industry to its core. Enough so, in fact, that Daimler would be willing to let go of a highly talented and well-respected executive – the first woman ever appointed to the German automaker's board – who had served since there since 2011. Feel free to read through VW's entire statement, below.

New Volkswagen Beetle is on the way

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Recent reports have suggested that the future of the Volkswagen Beetle could be in jeopardy, but those rumors have now been squashed. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, member of the board of management responsible for development at Volkswagen, confirmed to Autoblog that not only will the Beetle live on, a new generation will arrive in "the next up to three years." The next Beetle will move to Volkswagen's scalable MQB architecture. These bones currently underpin the Golf in the US, as well as a range of products available in Europe and other markets. That's not really surprising, given the MQB architecture's flexibility. But what's interesting is that, according to Neusser, using the MQB platform opens the door for electrification possibilities in the Beetle. That could mean a hybrid drivetrain, or even a fully electric example like the e-Golf hatchback. The Beetle "will remain an emotional design," Neusser told Autoblog. That said, it will be "developed in a new design language," in keeping with Volkswagen's plans to offer "much more dynamic, much more emotional" designs on its future cars. "We would like to support more emotional potential [for the Beetle]," Neusser said. This can certainly be seen here at the New York Auto Show, where Volkswagen is rolling out four showcars that demonstrate the potential for unique versions of the Bug. Even beyond that, Volkswagen has already confirmed that the Beetle Dune concept will see production, and Neusser hinted that while the New York showcars are still being evaluated, the Denim convertible will likely come to market. So the future is anything but grim for the Beetle. And in fact, there's a whole lot of potential for Volkswagen's iconic two-door. Related Video:

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
