New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

1989 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper Van!  
A perfect vehicle to take for a road trip, camp anywhere you pull over, and yet still be able to park in any major city.  

Air Condition!, Power Steering, Automatic Windows, CD, 2 beds (Can sleep 4), Refrigerator, 2 burner stove, Sink, Outside Awning, Rear Hatch Bug Screen, Front Full Dash Privacy Cover,  Electric & Water hookups, Hidey Hole Shift Knob.  It has a "Refurbished" title as I was in an accident (you can see the damage on the driver's side of the vehicle) and the insurance company marked it as a salvaged vehicle.  A full inspection by State Police Inspector was completed on 5/29 and the title was changed to Rebuilt / Reconstructed and is fully licensed for road use.  The functionality of the vehicle has been in no way affected and it always gets me where I want to go with no issue.  It has been my super fun daily driver but I'm heading out of the country so it's time to let someone else have the fun.  I'm the 3rd owner, was told that the engine was rebuilt by previous owner but there is no documentation on this.  Clutch, Radiator Pump, Starter, Sink Faucet recently replaced.  Tires replaced in November 2011 and still have good tread.  Air condition was just charged and blowing cold.  Undercarriage is looking good.  New Water pump for the sink comes with the van, I never found time to install it.  The odometer stopped working about 2 years ago so I can only guess at the mileage being in the early 200,000 area, there is a tear in the driver's seat upholstery, a couple rust spots around the window seals and at the driver's side damage area, a tear in the canvas at the rear, front fan blower needs replaced, and you'll need to purchase a new handle for the inside of the sliding door.  Take a look at the video below to get a good idea.
 
It is 25 years old and there is some maintenance and upkeep that will need to be invested in, but all in all this a a great vehicle that runs wonderfully and has many more years of fun to offer a new owner.  The vehicle is being offered AS-IS with NO RESERVE!! I purchased the vehicle through Ebay in 2008 and got a great deal and I feel it should be offered up the same way. Please be committed to purchasing when placing your bid.  
Terms: $500 deposit due by paypal within 24hours after the auction has ended and full payment by bank transfer or cashiers check within 72hours after the auction has ended.   The vehicle must be picked up in New Orleans, LA by July 27 at the very latest    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good Luck &Happy Bidding!!!

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
