One life to live and so it is your time to enjoy it- Vw Camper will give you the freedom to travel and enjoy life. I park it on the beach and I have a ocean front view house.

1980 Vw Vanagon Westfalia, 4cyl Air-cooled with around 30,000 rebuilt rebuilt, Sliding door, safety features, pop-top tent, sleeps 4, This is like a swiss army knife. Camper interior Has table for candle light dinners, fridge that runs on propane gas, 12volt and plug it 110v, Sink with a clear water tank, lots of storage for all you needs, Bottom seat can be a couch and it turns in to a bed. Roof pops up so u can stand up with no problem. I will do my best to Describe this bus- Just changed oil, battery, fuel, fuel pump etc and drove it camping to San Francisco. Bus motor does not overheat and it drove like a dream. See Pics from 1-19-2014 trip photos. We did over 400 miles in the bus and got great gas millage compare to a rv. The bus does need tlc and a full tune up just to have it service before I would take across the country since it sat for over a year. This is a 34+yeard old Vw bus that will need tlc just like any other one and it is Sold as-is and the buyer is responsible for transport and smog etc..The Bus is 34+ years is a clean bus to what is out their unless you pay over 25k. Once you work all the little kinks out of it, I honestly thinks it will be a dreams bus. If u want a fully restored bus and want to pay 40k this one is not for you. If you want a nice bus that you will fall in love and use it everyday then this one is for you. It is part of my seniors dad collection and he loved the bus but has not driven it for a year. Clear Ca title and reg is on non-opp starting 2-2014. Please feel free to come by and drive the bus or call me at 916-969-0334 Paul. It is in Loomis, Ca by Sacramento. Feel free to ask any questions?? Buyer must pay 500 dollar deposit within 24 hours of end of Auction via Paypal. The Rest must be paid in full with in 5 days via Cash, Bank transfer. I have sold many cars to Europe and had always happy customers. These buses are only going to go higher in value bcs u can take them on a trip and is a whole different trip then a gas drinking rv. Tom Hanks the actor bought one recently, a camper too.No Reserve auction-I see these online for 10,000 plus all the time.

GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE BUS-

1-Westfalia camper-Frig,sink,cabinets,beds-etc Nice and usable see pics, top bunk is white and like new.

2-1980 Vw Vanagon Motor rebuilt and around 30k on it, Strong not like those early bus that could no go 60 mph, This bus cruises at 70mph with no problem.

3-Nice color-original Vanilla yellow but now a little brither yellow.

4-Manual-4 speed-Easy to drive and very realiable. Great Trans.

5-Good glass and interior. Passanger seat swivels for more seating space.

6-New fuel pump, battery, new hoses, Many new parts.

7-Starts every time and it has new fuel and pump etc.

The Bad-

1- Tent is torn but I found one for as little as 149-new or fix this one.or fix this one.

2-1980 Nice Cond but not perfect has some dings in and out etc.. Rear cushion works but it is thiner then original but very usable.

3-Speedo just broke at 189k. Missing Cd radio face cover.

4-Paint looks great from distance but upclose you can see that at sometime it was painted cheaply, It does has some minor surface rurs  and dings old owner prior to us had it painted, but the little rust is surface only.

5-Bus should have a full tune up so it can travel anywhere, tires have some cracks and Brakes should have new pads.

6-Key-opens front doors but rear and side door is missing, but doors all doors close and open with no problems

7-Camper Kitchen Stove works etc but everything needs to be cleaned due to it sitting a year. Water tank needs to be cleaned too. Propane tank needs a new knob because it does leek propane from the tank, easy fix for a part from a rv/camping store. Common gasket goes bad. Quated it is a $ 10 part and look easy to install.

Well I did my best but please realize that a vehicle can have any problem or they can run for ever. Please don't bid on this item unless you plan to buy it. It takes lots of time and money to list a item. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION????

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
