1991 Volkswagen VW Vanagon Carat  ( ive been told its called Multi-van )


1991 Vw Vanagon
odometer reads 68000 ( estimated ) has the rare tachometer
Automatic transmission
2.1L motor 

1 year only color - grey interior - with rear facing jump seats.
Has some rust along seams , dents in slider door and rear quarter panel ( not very big dents ) 
I have the missing sliding door lower trim piece ( i bought it for $100 used )
Just installed two new / used 205-70-14 tires - all the tires are in pretty good shape
it does not seem rusty along rockers , etc..  just some seam rust along a few edges ( see pictures )

I bought this van at a local " police / tow yard " auction as is with no keys.  ( the ignition switch has been removed - starts with a screw driver and the lock assembly is cracked )  No keys for the doors / hatch or for the locking gas cap)
I towed it to my shop , checked the fluids and tossed in a battery and to my surprise it fired right up...  I have driven it around my parking lot - goes in drive and forward just fine -  doesnt like going into reverse - i checked fluid after letting it warm up for 10 minutes and the tranny fluid level was below the first dot on the dip stick )  it will go backwards in reverse but take a second to engage.   I have not driven this van over 20 MPH and do not plan too as the brakes are soft as well they work but probably need checked over - 

Interior is dirty - but all there -  seats are in great shape -  carpet is dirty and gross -  there are the factory curtains - i think all of them are actually there with the snaps - the one that goes over the sliding door / rear side pass window has a slight tear in it..  there was an extra one on one of the jump seats - maybe its for the windshield?

Stereo is pulled half way out and missing face plate -  the rear speaker above rear seat are missing -  it has an awesome vanagon driver floor mat and an even awesomer taz devil pass floor mat -   there is a bentley repair manual also included..  the door panels are in great shape with speakers in them - the windows roll up and down - very slowly ( probably due to lack of use )  I did not try to use the AC -  a few knobs are missing from the dash..  a few AC vents are missing from the center roof ac thing that goes into the back...   a few cup holders are broken....  all the doors open up and close.

I was going to just part this out -  but thought i would see if someone else needed a vanagon project.   this van must be towed - can not be driven in its current condition -    the steering column doesnt LOCK cuz its broken where ignition switch goes...   

For sale as is where is -  its 20 minutes SOUTH of LINCOLN NE in the country ( at my shop )
402-953-2671 no text messages -  must leave a message...

Vahland leaving VW over dispute on how to run NA region

Wed, Oct 14 2015

On November 1, Winfried Vahland was supposed to take over Volkswagen Group's recently created North American region that combines Canada, the US, and Mexico. But the longtime exec has instead decided to leave the automaker after a dispute over how to manage the new combined region. Vahland is currently the boss at Skoda, and in a statement about his departure the Czech company said: "Differing views on the organization of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines." Vahland is leaving at his own request, the announcement says. Vahland was appointed to run to North American region during VW's massive corporate shakeup on September 25. The decision was part of the automaker's plan to put a greater emphasis on regions and brands, rather than on centralized authority. According to Automotive News Europe citing a report from Germany's Auto Bild, Vahland was passed over for the CEO job, with Matthias Muller taking that position. Amidst the changes, Michael Horn remained at the helm of Volkswagen Group of America, reporting to the new regional boss. Vahland joined the automaker in 1990 and started running VW's operations in China in 2005. He became boss at Skoda in 2010. "In the last 25 years, Prof. Vahland made a great contribution to the company. We respect his decision and thank him for his exceptional performance," Muller said in the departure announcement. Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group 14.10.2015 Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland leaves Volkswagen Group Mlada Boleslav, 14 October 2015 – After 25 years of successful work in Volkswagen Group, most recently as Chairman of SKODA, Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland is leaving the company at his own request. Prof. Vahland will therefore not be taking up the position of overall responsibility for the North American Region (NAR). Differing views on the organisation of the new Group region have led to this decision; this decision is expressly not related to current events on the issue of diesel engines. Prof. Vahland began his work in Volkswagen Group in 1990. After holding several key positions at home and abroad, he took over Group responsibility as President and CEO of Volkswagen in China in 2005 and contributed significantly to the successful new direction of Volkswagen in China. He was appointed Chairman of the Board of Management of SKODA in 2010.

VW Jetta GLI, Peugeot 505 are MotorWeek's 1986 Euro sport sedan alternatives

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Video reviews have become a mainstay of automotive journalism, but long before every publication turned on its video cameras and started uploading to YouTube, there was one program that was blazing the trail. That, of course, was MotorWeek, the television car program produced by Maryland Public Television and hosted by the inimitable John Davis. The program first aired back in 1981, and after more than three decades in the business, it's got a considerable archive of old episodes to unearth. In this latest gem recovered from the MotorWeek back catalog, the program pitted two European sports sedans against each other: a Volkswagen Jetta GLI and a Peugeot 505 Turbo. That's right: back in the 1980s, Peugeot was still competing in the US marketplace. The forced-induction 505 may not have been enough to keep the French automaker in American showrooms, but it was enough to stand up against the VW. Which one won MotorWeek's favor? You'll just have to watch the six-minute clip to find out. News Source: MotorWeek via YouTube Volkswagen Peugeot Economy Cars Performance Videos Sedan vw jetta gli

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
