1988 Vw Vanagon Westfalia Camper on 2040-cars
Alton, Illinois, United States
|
1988 VW Vanagon/Westy....I bought the Westy 9/17/2011. It has been garaged since-excluding annual camping trips and cycling races spring-fall. It is my 3rd Westy and I have a plethora of knowledge of these vans and must sell to pay off mega student loan debt unfortunately......I bought the van from a wonderful elderly couple whom used the van to transport instruments that they made by hand- specifically Large Harps..The reason I'm mentioning that is because the van had stickers on it as you will see in the pics- I have removed all of them but you can still see remnants in some areas mainly the back and up where the Westy sticker should be on the front upper Pop-top and rear are both missing-However, I bought replacements as my full intent was to repaint the van. There are a few areas of surface rust which I include in the pics as well. The Vent/litte sunroof on top of Pop-top needs to be replaced as it is 26 years old and has cracks in it. The pop-top itself is in great shape and the canvas is perfect. The front screen has two tiny tears that have appeared since I have owned it-and can be easily repaired. I took it to my VW mechanic of 30 years and he looked over everything to make sure the engine was in fact rebuilt-which I took a pic of the receipt showing proof.. One bummer is the AC motor is missing-it was not an issue for me but may be for some. The previous owner also had installed a water temp gage to supplement the already existing one as they had an issue years ago-so it acts as double confidence of knowing TEMP.
The carpet is stained in the kitchenette area and according to "GO WESTY" it's not too expensive to replace- as well as the vent. All orig-curtains work well and look nice- all sliding windows work-and screens in good shape. There are a few small dings you we see in the pics as well. The Van is from Utah and spent the majority of it's life out west. I also have all the extra belts, the power cord, the extra table, the privacy curtain that buttons up front for complete privacy- this curtain has some staining on it-I have never tried to wash it as it was not a big deal to me. I will answer any questions one may have as well as send any more pics upon request. I am giving the best of my knowledge of the van-and after owning 2 previous ones I personally would not buy or sell one without knowing the owner was disclosing all information they are aware. These vans are a 'lifestyle' and need to remain respected by the WESTY Community....HaPPY Bidding..............Please feel free to contact me regarding any issue I may have neglected. |

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
