Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States

You are bidding on a 1972 Volkswagen Type 23 Kombi camper van, with 64k miles. This van is outfitted with a custom interior, designed around the Westfalia style camper set up, along with many other upgrades. The headliner, front seat upholstery, and interior panels are TMI brand, VW reproduction in gray. The rear seat and bed cushions are custom made with a very good color match. The cabinets are made from high end marine grade plywood, finished in its natural color. The double burner propane stove is mounted above the ice chest. To gain access to the ice chest you step on the foot peddle and a hydraulic system raises the stove. (See photos) To lower the stove you press the foot peddle and push the stove down. The stove can also be removed and placed on a folding stand (included) to cook outside (see photos). Heat is provided by a Mr. Heater portable radiant heater witch can also be removed to be used outside. The small portable toilet located below the heater can also be removed and placed in a more "privet" area of your campsite. The back seat and fold out bed can be lowered into the bed configuration or locked back into a seat very easily and only takes a few seconds. Underneath the rear seat / bed is more storage (see photos).  Alongside the bed on the driver’s side are two more cabinets with plenty of room for storage. Above the bed, (see photos), is a storage shelf for bedding and curtains. Two complete set of curtains are included. The red plaid set shown in the photos, along with a gray set. Next to the stove is a small sink with soap dispenser, and a hand pump water faucet. Fresh water and gray water connection are located outside just behind the driver’s side door. Fresh water is supplied by a MSR bladder connected by a hose. I would lay the bladder underneath the bus to keep it in the shade. Gray water is directed away from bus by a garden hose. Underneath the sink is more storage space with the included red plates, bowls, cups, and cookware. (See photo) A Panasonic #CQ-VAD9300U radio/TV/CD players is tucked in the stock hole for the radio. On top of the bus is a Wingard brand retractable antenna. I have also installed a digital to analogue converter so the TV stations will work. The rest of the dash is all stock and in good condition. Also mounted above the sliding door is a Shadyboy brand fold out awning (See Photos).  The engine is a 2 liter 914 with single carb and 009 distributor. The engine was rebuilt completely less than 1000 miles ago, and runs and drives great. The transmission was rebuilt approximately 4000 miles ago. A second RV deep cycle battery with a disconnect is installed in the engine compartment with a battery charger for long weekends. Next to the stove is a small inverter to power small electronics and charge your phone. All of the door and compartment seals have been replaced with new seals. The front windshield was also replaced with a brand new unit. The body is in good condition. Some body work was performed on the front of the bus before I purchased it and is behind the Spare tire. The frame was under coated at one point and has prevented any undercarriage rust. The frame and body works has close to no rust.  Some of the undercoat has come off in the wheel wells and exposed the frame paint (see photo). The sliding door lower slide is in great condition with no rust and the door slides smooth. The bus was repainted at one point most likely in the 80’s. The paint and rest of the body has some small scratches and nicks and such, but all in all, it's in good condition. The louvered windows work but are in need of some new seals. The lock is missing from the external handle on the passenger door, but all the other locks work. This is a great little camper bus.  It has been stored inside for last 10 years, and has not been used it, so it’s time for it to go to a new home. The tires, shocks, drive shafts, CV joints, brakes, tie rods, and exhaust were all replaced with new components about 10 years ago, and only have about 4000 miles on them. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs.  Payment through PayPal only.  Email with any questions. (questions will be answered during Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, and Saturday 11am-4pm -central standard time)

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
