Up for bid is my 2002 VW Eurovan which is my current daily driver. I've had many VW vans including a '59 Panel, '71 Kombi, '82 Westfalia, '91 Vanagon, '99 Eurovan, and this one. I've loved the utility, camping, comfort, and comrodary of other owners. Alas, it is time to move on as I no longer need the 6 cylinders nor a 7-passenger vehicle. My wife's 6 passenger Mazda 5 suits us now just fine. Although, bringing the 12 Christmas tree home in the Euro with the rear door shut will be missed! As you can see from the pictures, this is a very clean Euro. I believe there was some minor paint touch-ups but no accidents nor rust; other than a couple scratches and road specs from stones.

I believe I'm pricing my Euro very competitively based on Kelly Blue Book ($9,300-$10,800), what I see other Euros selling for on ebay, and the overall condition. I realize new buyer will need to put a little effort into the TLC items below so I expect my pricing respects that.

Please don't bid on my van unless you plan to buy it. As you know, this takes a lot of time and energy. The pictures and my description of the vehicle are accurate. Winning the auction is not winning the right of first refusal. Please come and see the van, drive it, call me, or ask for more specific pictures before the auction ends. I realize this may be a major investment for someone so I'll respect the needs of the buyer to be fully satisfied. I just ask that you be a responsible buyer and do your homework up front.

THE GOOD STUFF:

Mileage works out to less than 10,000/yr which is nice as these engines will last awhile if you take care of them.
Tires and brakes are in good condition; I would drive this van anywhere.
Heat and A/C work fine.
Cooling system was flushed Aug '12; last oil change done Nov '13.
Automatic tranny is in fine condition; unlike my '99 that used to slip! Many folks say they were either good or bad and if you get beyond 60K or so, you're probably fine for awhile.
I have inspection/service records (not sure if complete) back to 2005 and the original owners manual.
Front wheel drive is excellent in the snow.
New battery June '13.
Body and interior condition is above average.
I installed tow package last spring but only pulled a small 14' boat 4 times for an average distance of 10 miles.
Middle bucket seats are in nice shape and are easily removed/installed for multiple configurations.
I made an indoor/outdoor carpet flooring for the winter when seats are removed or for moving stuff.

Things needing TLC:

The most annoying thing is the power locks started working inconsistently in August. I still can't open the passenger door and I usually need the key fob button to open the side and rear doors. Maybe something simple but I've spent no time trying to figure out nor bring to someone for repair.
The radiator auxilary fan needs replacing. I unhooked it when a couple of the fins broke (they're plastic) back in Sept. No long drives nor high temps since so general driving is fine. I researched and after-market one is ~$150 + labor unless you do it yourself.
Front and middle carpets have 'normal' wear stains. Rear carpet still have original plastic covering :-).
Rear wiper intermittent motor stays on for a couple days after using and then decides to stop and work properly. I don't use it.
I get some instrument lights intermittenly coming on. Most prevelant is check brakes but I know pads are good for awhile. My mechanic says the sensor is too senstive. Other one is ABS but it goes away??
I repaired a small exhaust leak a couple weeks ago which is fine but I don't have records for when exhaust was done last so assume that will be a future service item.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars

Mon, Oct 4 2021

After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
