West Coast Vw Bus, Transporter. Very Little Rust. Drive It Home on 2040-cars
Scottsville, Virginia, United States
|
I bought this bus 11 years ago in Eugene Oregon. I used it as my daily driver for about 4 years. I moved to Virginia about 4 years ago and drove it cross country. Since buying a new car in Virginia the bus has mostly sat. I got the car with 70,000 miles and it didn't run. I had the engine rebuilt and Transmission replaced. It has run ever since. The car has 97,000 miles now. I just put in a new battery, exhaust, fuel filter, and air filters. Car started right up and runs good. I'm sure with a quick tune up it would run even better. All lights and blinkers work. You could drive this home today. The car has surface rust but the underside of the car is great. Before I got the car it had a undercoating put on. That is peeling off now but the factory paint is underneath and looks really good. No welding needed. I had the spare tire mounted on the front for more room in the back. I just had the front seats done. They look brand new. I also bought a rear seat folding mechanism that I was going to install when I did the rear seat. It folds like the older camper beds do. You are welcome to it with the bus. Brakes and tires are good. People tell me the transmission I have is real nice. I'm not sure why but they use them on dune buggies. Second gear goes in at what I think is a funny angle but no grinding feels strong. Cruises on the freeway no problem. I'm selling the bus because I'm moving back to Portland Or and thought it would be nice to leave this clean west coast bus on the east coast for a loving new owner. This car has been to a lot of concerts and cool places around the US. I hope a new owner will have as much fun in it as I have. I don't want to deliver the car but I will consider if it's near by. I have the right to end auction at anytime. It is for sale locally as well. Feel free to ask any Questions.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
