The condition of the vehicle is good condition for it being 34 years old. The bus is brown and beige. There is some discoloration of lighter brown with darker brown on parts of the bus. There is some rust, mainly around the windows and in the rear of the vehicle where you lift the hood where the engine is. The front seats need to be re-upholstered but are still stable for driving and riding in the bus. The middle seat is black because it is a newer seat from a different bus. The drivers side mirror is broken but the vehicle has a current Missouri State inspection. The bus has a new starter and battery and the tires are good, almost new. It also has an after market air filter. The bus runs and drives smoothly, however, it is not built for high speeds. It operates best at around 50-55 MPH and as with many old VW's, this bus needs a break about every hour of interstate driving at those speeds because it has a tendency to not start after the engine has been running at these speeds for more than an hour. When I drive on the interstate I give the bus a break about every hour and it takes about 15 minutes for it to rest and then starts and is ready to go again. I am not aware of any other issues with this bus and this sell will be as is.
I am not the original owner. I bought the bus in March of this year from a seller on craigslist. I do not know anything about the history of this bus prior to me buying it. I am selling it because I am in the military and found out I will be moving to Hawaii and will not be able to take this vehicle with me.
The buyer will pay though pay pal, cash in person, or a certified cashiers check. The buyer will also be responsible for moving or shipping the vehicle. It may be picked up from my address and either driven away, or towed away, or whatever means the buyer desires.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
