1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat Pastel White Lifted On 16's 4 Wheel Disc Brakes on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Ohio, United States
This is my personal van that I've poured tons of money and time into in the last few years. It's a very reliable machine and has been modified fairly tastefully as far as these go. I've driven this all over my state and rehabbed most of the things that break over their years of owner neglect. I will not sell to anyone outside of the continental United States. I will not assist with any form of shipping at all. The winning bidder must deposit 500.00 via PayPal with the remainder due in person upon pick-up of the vehicle.
1991 vanagon carat in pastel white interior excellent shape with no staining on the upholstery. The rear mattress has a small cigarette burn and the slider door card is missing -all else is in great shape. The interior was removed before pergo was laid down to give a finished "wall to wall" look. Dash is perfect with no cracking, all gauges work as intended. Oil temp and pressure gauges are added to the lower dash to aid in engine monitoring. Stereo-Sony iPod ready head unit with custom door enclosures housing 5-1/4 and 4" speakers along with relocating the window switches. Everything now works as intended. Door window switches roll the windows up as intended without having to do the gowesty mod (I disliked it). New 4" speakers are located in the rear factory locations and Sony 6x9" are located in the hatch. The stereo now has eight total speakers and everything stays with the van. Brakes-fronts are Mercedes sl500 2 piston calipers with vented rotors. This involves a stud conversion kit so no more wheel bolts up front. Rotors are @60mm oversized 16"wheels are necessary for this van. Stopping power is excellent. Rears are eurovan discs. This solid disc uses a caliper actuated parking brake that holds great. All brake parts have @. 4000miles on them and are still practically new. Wheels/tires-wheels are audi a4 16" alloys these have been properly machined to fit. Proper length press fit rear studs and threaded front studs were bought to make these a safe fitment. Tires are cooper rst 60,000 mile tires 98t load just purchase from sears in June. These are also nearly new. Suspension steering-new shocks, upper a-arm bushings, ball joints, used Westy springs to lift 2", new inner tie rods, new outer tie rods, rebuilt rack and pinion, aligned 6/30/2013, new power steering lines, new rear wheel bearings (zerked), new cv boots packed. Transmission-gasket kit this trans is a cleaned and inspected unit that has been resealed from a donor with 151,000miles on it. It was very clean inside no metal. A 1990 trans that does not hack e the defective 3/4 slider issues. Used trans installed with new clutch, synthetic fluid, machined flywheel. Engine-new gowesty billet thermostat housing, stainless water pump pipe, stainless oil cooler pipes, coolant hose kit, new injectors, new belts, new tune up kit, new oil sensors, new o2sensor. Runs very well oil pressure and temps are kept within range . Just a strong running stock water boxer. This has vw heads on it (not amc) but there are obvious signs of a reseal being done on it. I've run it for 2000 miles and bee impressed,the previous engine owner stated it was rebuilt within the last 80k. Hvac-new rear heater core, front blower motor, a/c drier and expansion valve. Things that don't work- Rear hatch and slider central lock motors do not activate. Both fronts do. I never looked into anything else further to pick it apart. Extra central locking parts come with it. Cruise control is sketchy. Sometimes it kicks out on you. Those are the knowns. I have been all over this van. I just can't put any more money into it. Bottom line is I have too many projects and I have to cut my losses. Winning bidder gets my receipts for over 4000.00 that I can account for along with two previous owners worth of documentation. Please only bid if you have the money and means to come get this. |

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio
Fri, Sep 30 2016Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap
Fri, Nov 6 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
