1987 Volkswagon Vanagon on 2040-cars

Year:1987 Mileage:297000

Santee, California, United States

Santee, California, United States

This van is ready to roll. Good condition a few bumps and bruises aside. The van has been garaged for the most part for the last 2 years (just a few outings to the mountains here and there). The engine was replaced by the original owner after 150,000 miles and the previous owner replaced the transmission (about 50,000 miles ago). I have performed regular maintenance and the engine runs beautifully. There are a few scrapes/scratches on each of the corners of the bumpers and a rust spot below the windshield. Other than that the body of the van is great. The interior is almost perfect, very well taken care of. All the original bells and whistles are included. Head rests, window shades, side panels to the removable rear facing seats. I also have a good sized box full of maintenance records including the receipts for the engine and transmission as well as very meticulous notes about oil changes/gas fill-ups and mileage (it gets about 18 mpg). I'm bummed to be selling it but I no longer have any good reason to keep it. Gotta move on. I purchased the vehicle from the 5th owner in Oakland a couple years ago. The original owner, as you will be able to see by his records, was very meticulous. I used it as a daily commuter/camping van for about a year then put it in my mom's garage. I've only really used it for a couple big trips in the past couple years so I can't really justify taking up the space in the garage anymore. Everything still works besides the AC. Power locks are good, speakers are good, power mirrors are good. I did bust one mirror off a few years ago and haven't gotten around to fixing it properly but the lines are still connected and functional. The mirror is still on the van though, just not properly epoxied. A deposit of $500.00 at the end of the auction on pay pal. From there we can work out delivery or pickup arrangements.

for a full album of photos send me a message and I'll send you the link. e bay won't let me post non-clickable links and I don't know how to do it any other way....

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
