With much hesitation I am listing my Westy up for sale. I love this van, and it has done multiple trips and even DD it for a few months without any problems. I bought this van sight unseen, flew to NY and drove it back all the way to NC without a hickup. Just turn key and drive away. While getting great gas mileage.
Only reason I'm selling is b/c I am about to start back up with school full time, and don't think I'll have a chance to do any trips for a few years, and don't want it sitting the whole time. I know once I get in it and take a trip off to see family in Texas, or Central Florida I'll probably change my mind though.
Located in North Florida. Like I said, I love this van, and will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Call/text (609) 408.3916 -Josh
Have a book of receipts with over $15,000 worth of add-on, turning this thing into a lean, mean, gas-sipping, hippy panty dropping, touring machine.

This isn't a project Westy that needs work to run. This van is fully functional and ready to go. I bought these items b/c I planned on traveling/living in this thing. Have decided to go back to school though, so instead of sitting, I'm offering it to another traveler.
I'll keep adding once I break out the receipt book, and remember everything done.
Bad:
1) Fill tube from gas tank has a small crack, (common problem), doesn't pose a problem unless you fill completely to the top, I usually stop 1/2 gal short of filling it up and it won't leak.
2) Appears it was in a minor accident at one point, and the back hatch has a couple spots where the filler has cracked.
3) Has a small amount of the typical seem rust. No cancer, just the small seem rust that any Vanagon owner has to deal with constantly. You can pick it away, rust convert it, and it will come back, just one of those things about a vanagon. No vanagon is truly rust free. When I had the fridge out, I checked the whole driver side wall and no rust issue was there.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After 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."
Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
