 1993 Eurovan weekender package for sale.   Please read the entire description for this sale:

This vehicle has a been a wonderful VW for me.  I've had it 5 years, had some great trips with my family, great concerts/tailgating.  
I am selling as I now have 5 VW’s in my driveway, 2 Vespas, and a London double decker bus in mid restoration.   My wife and neighbors are 1/2 step away from killing me if something doesn’t go!!!
Anyone who has had one of these knows how versatile they are.   Seats 7.  Sleeps 4.   can fit a full 4'x8' sheet of drywall/plywood inside.  Great for taking all the kids to sporting events, and i fit just about everything i ever needed from Home Depot into it with no problem!!  I am sad to be listing it, but just too many things going on right now in my driveway !

Seats 2 up front, 5 in the rear (3 along bench seat, 2 in rear facing seats).  Rear seat folds down, slides out, creating another bed.  Top pops up, but no interior camping gear such as a stove/fridge.

I am the 4th owner of this Eurovan and bought it in 10/2009 with 145k miles (it now has 179k +/- as I’m still using it daily.  It was originally an Arizona car, then to VA in 2005, then to NJ in 2006.

 It originally had an automatic trans which was essentially non-functioning.   I decided to take the manual transmission out of my other eurovan (same year, hardtop, but with a bad body), and put the manual trans into this camper.   The manual trans had ~150k when we put it in the camper (installing a new clutch at the time).  All work was performed by RPM in Westwood, NJ in spring 2010.
Anyone who has had one of these knows how problematic the autotrans can be!!
The other engine from the donor Eurovan also comes with this Auction.   It has ~150k on it.

The camper has run beautifully since the transmission swapover and I use it as my daily driver as well as periodic trips to Virginia Beach (about a 7 hour trip each way).



The camper is in decent shape but does need some attention, especially on a couple of rust spots.  I will list out everything I know to be wrong with the van.
-horn is present but doesn’t work
-cruise control doesn't work
-driver’s window won’t go up or down.   The motor is fine; it’s an electrical issue somewhere.
-rear speakers are present but unusable and need to be replaced.
-AC doesn’t work (blows air, but not cold)
-Dashpod temperature gauge and gas gauge work intermittently.  Articles on various VW user sights state it’s a loose connection and is fairly common and fixable.
-surface rust along vertical body seams on the side of the camper in the rear.
-surface and rocker rust on passenger side front door (worst area and perforated)
-surface rust on driver rocker area
-minor defects/broken pieces in trim work (see pictures)
-exhaust has several leaks.  Muffler is only a year old, but area around the catalytic converter has leaks; not the cat itself though.
-handle to open the cargo door is broken.  It functions fine, but the part that you squeeze with the grip of your fingers is split in two. 
-pop top canvas has some tears but can be repaired without having to completely remove everything (I envisioned simply cutting out the bad areas and sewing in a screened area, but never got around to it).
-Radio functions perfectly but is the originally cassette player (hey, at least it’s not 8-track!)
 
Positive stuff:
-I have all service records since I’ve owned it, and a lot of records from prior owners
-Tires are Kumho 235/65/16 104H which are rated at 104H (for heavier cars) and have ~80% tread left on them.   1 extra tire comes with it (same as 4 on the van).
-All screens,curtains, and headrests are on or with the camper
-Fiamma F45 retractable awning (works beautifully!)
-Roof racks (but not for anything super heavy;  maybe skis, surboard, or perhaps a canoe)
-all cup holders are intact :)


-
I encourage potential buyers to come see it, test drive it, etc… I will also take it to a local shop/dealer of your choice to have them do an overall inspection of the vehicle (potential buyers and I would  have to agree how to handle this).
I will do my best to provide any additional pictures and/or video requested.
Camper is also listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if there is a non-ebay buyer.
Camper is a nice vehicle with some  issues due to age and wear and tear; but all issues can be resolved.
I have set a reserve price which I feel is reasonable, in line with market prices MINUS the estimated costs to repair all items I listed as being problematic with the vehicle.
I will edit auction to add a "buy it now price" if an acceptable offer is made (otherwise, we just let the auction runs its course)
I am available to show/test drive it Mon/Tues/Sat/Sun of this week.

I will NOT ship to Nigeria, will not accept checks from Nigeria, won't wire money to Nigeria, and won't deal with folks who's secretary "accidentally" sent me $5,000 too much. 
I also don't have a lot of patience for buyers who want to ding ebay sellers for differences in opinion on the condition of items being sold.  If you want more detail, ask:  I will send you as many pictures as I can.
I will work with any buyer if there is truly something that I have overlooked, but if its just a buyer with an overinflated sense of entitlement, well, please just move along and save your drama for someone else.


Happy bidding.  I will do my best to answer questions in a timely fashion.
Thank you!

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept still makes us swoon

Fri, Nov 21 2014

We know, we know – this hot little guy isn't really new or anything. Volkswagen first rolled out the Golf R 400 concept in Beijing earlier this year, and since its debut, we've heard rumors that the German automaker might-perhaps-maybe-hopefully build the thing. Its showing here in Los Angeles simply marks the first time it's debuting in America, and honestly, we can't get enough. So here it is, again. Hello, Golf R 400 – we love you. And what's not to love? What starts as a normal Golf R gets better with a more aggressive appearance, big wheels, some tasteful neon yellow accents, and a whole mess of power. The original concept packed 395 horsepower from an overblown 2.0-liter turbo-four, though the most recent reports suggest a production version could produce over 400 hp. To keep it all in line, the concept has all-wheel drive. And inside, it's the same functional, comfortable Golf we've always loved. There's nothing left to say, really. We love this car, and you should, too. Check it out in the gallery above.
