You are bidding on a 1999 full EuroVan Winnebago camper in a No Reserve auction. It has below average miles (104,246) and is in good condition. We have owned it for 9 1/2 years, and both we and the previous owner have always garaged it. It has been driven very little in the winter, and has lived its life in Colorado (minimal salt on roads). It has worked well on the 4 long trips we have taken it on, but haven't used it as much as we expected in terms of shorter or weekend trips, and have only put 54,000 miles on it during our ownership. Under normal mostly highway conditions, we get about 20 miles per gallon; on this summer's trip to Alaska with a fairly heavy load including a 17' kayak acting as a sail going into the wind, we averaged 19.6 mpg. This is about the size of a Dodge Caravan extended minivan, so unlike larger campers, it can be easily driven in the city and parked in a normal parking space. While we have never done so, it could be used as a daily driver in addition to a camper.
Features:
Pop-up camper with beds up and down, so it sleeps a cozy 4.
Optional middle bench seat that has never been used to increase seating capacity to 6.
Propane furnace.
Refrigerator running on cabin battery, plug in, or propane.
Two burner propane stove, Sink
CD Player (2007)
Yakima rack on top for bikes or kayaks (those attachments not included). There is also a bike rack that goes on the rear tailgate that we got from the previous owner that we have never used that we are happy to toss in.
A second newer mounted spare tire in almost new condition. Also, a pair of never used tire chains (cables).
Brand new windshield.
It has a cream colored clear bra on the front (see picture).
Captains chairs in front swivel 180 deg to use as seats in cabin. Two tables that collapse and are stowed between drivers seat and frig.
The car is in good condition. There are minor scrapes on the passenger side of the front bumper and center of the rear bumper (see last two pictures for detail), and there are half a dozen minor chips in the paint above the clear bra on the front or on the side - typical for a car of 100,000 miles in good but not pristine condition. There are a couple of minor scrapes on top of the roof that don't really show (as a result of not taking the kayak off cleanly). The tires are fair (24,500 miles). When my mechanic checked the car out before this summer's Alaska trip, he said that the brakes had about half of their life left. The engine battery was new in January and the cabin battery new in June. It has a fresh oil change and is ready for another Alaska trip.
Note: A few of the pictures showing the interior show apparent dots or splotches that aren't real - the flash caught rain drops. After waiting for the rain to stop for 2 1/2 days, a rarity in Colorado, I gave up so the pix aren't quite up to snuff.
If you have any questions, please use the Ask a Question link or call Bill @ 303-809-6763. Please ask questions before bidding. Your bid is a legally binding contract. You or your representative are welcome (and encouraged) to inspect the car before bidding. I am in the Denver area. The $500 deposit should be by PayPal or overnight check within two days. The balance should be by certified check within 7 days. Bank transfers are not acceptable due to issues with scammers. Please plan on picking up the vehicle or arranging shipping within 20 days.
For those not familiar with EBay policies, the Buy It Now price of $22,500 will disappear shortly after bidding starts - it is not indefinitely available on a no reserve auction. (The last car I sold on EBay had the Buy It Now price go away after bidding started, and a bidder was unhappy that the final bid price was above the original Buy It Now price.) If you want to lock in the Buy It Now price, don't wait. In recent months, most of the EBay listed Eurovan campers of similar mileage and age have had asking prices of $31-41,000, or have had a lot more miles on them.
If you have less than 3 feedback responses or negative feedback, call me before bidding, or I will cancel your bid. Having had 4 scammers trying to mess up the auction the last time I sold a car on EBay, it isn't worth the headaches of dealing with unidentified no feedback bidders. Scammers, don't even bother trying to mess with the auction - you won't get the bank account information you want from me under any circumstances.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
