1999 Volkswagen Vw Eurovan Weekender Vr6 Engine on 2040-cars
Roanoke, Virginia, United States
|
We have decided to sell our 1999 VW Eurovan Weekender van. We bought it last year and liked it so much that we decided to purchase a full camper version. We were told that the van was a one owner and owned by the man that owned the VW dealership where we bought it, so I would imagine that it was well maintained. The Weekender package includes a fold down rear bench seat (big bed), full set of window curtains (never used), fold up table with a fluorescent light, and reverse facing captain chairs. The van has the digital CLIMAtronic dual zone front/rear heat and A/C, the original Premium stereo cassette player, power windows and locks, automatic transmission, cruise control, and rear opening (sliding) windows. It has a class III trailer hitch installed (which was used for a bike carrier, therefore there is no wiring for trailer lights but could be added) and a never used full size spare tire. The engine is the VR6, which delivers plenty of power while yielding good gas milage. The transmission functions flawlessly in all gears. The interior is in good shape, there are no tears on any of the seats, just regular wear. The carpet has a worn spot just inside the sliding door that we duct taped (see the photos). The body is in good shape, never wrecked and no dents to speak of, however the roof and hood are loosing the clear coat (you can see this pealing off in the photos). The check engine light has been on during our entire ownership, don't know why, never took the time to check it out. At highway speeds it has a faint shimmy, so I took it in to have an alignment, they said the alignment was good but that the front tires were "out-of-round". A set of new front tires will solve it, buy all four tires have loads of tread left, so we didn't worry about it. I have tried to cover all the good and bad as best I can, however I encourage anyone interested in it to call me with any questions 540-598-8331. I would also encourage everyone to come see it in person if possible. This is a used car not a new one, so it is sold with no warrantee expressed or implied. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this van anywhere, so if you'd like to fly in and drive it home I will happily meet you at the airport, Or I will drop it off at any local Roanoke Virginia shipping depot at no charge. Thanks for looking.
***I was adjusting the rear view mirror yesterday and managed to grip it too hard and snapped the windshield, so now it comes with a cracked windshield*** |

Yes, a family of 5 can live in a 1981 VW Westfalia van
Fri, Feb 14 2014Automakers and marketers trying to reach environmentally conscious consumers who desire the simple life basically have two strategies: promote electric vehicles that can be charged through green energy or sell a 30-year-old Volkswagen van on Craigslist. Nicolas Boullosa and Kirsten Dirksen opted for Plan B and turned a 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia camper into a "micro-living" experiment. The co-founders of the simple living website faircompanies packed up their van and three young children for a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. They even turned the adventure into a documentary called Summer of (Family) Love, which you can view below. It's two hours long, so maybe add this to your weekend viewing list. They limited themselves to one backpack per person into a camper that they purchased off Craigslist and named "Westy." They stuck to their original intention of cooking all their own meals off a propane stove, creating a new little home every night in a different location, mostly spaces outside RV parks. They met up with other enthusiasts of the "tiny house" community who live like nomads. They were able to interview a few of then and, "With each stop we picked up some new piece of wisdom about life's essentials," Dirksen wrote in the faircompanies blog.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
