161,xxx on van Engine is Rebuilt with 1600 miles on it.
The BAD!!!: I believe in full disclosure. These are the things that I am aware of:
It is a 21 year old VW Vanagon. It is in great shape and mechanically sound, but it is 21 years old. All Vanagons need love and maintenance to keep them in this type of condition. It is not a project by any means. It is a 21 year old vehicle that will give you tons of miles and fun, if maintained properly.
It has some surface rust on the undercarriage and on the bottom of the drivers door. No seam rust, it was repaired by the previous owner when it was repainted the original color.
A/C is installed and complete. It needs a belt to check to see if it works. Assume it is all there, but inoperable.
As stated above, the paint has some small nicks in the paint and the front bumper has two cracks. I have a replacement bumper to go with it, just needs paint and mounting.
The steering is a little lose, I suspect the control arm bushings and/or ball joints. Not bad, and they don't need replaced yet, but soon.
The gas tank needs the crossover tube resealed. Cheap fix, just haven't had the time.
Please, email me any questions or for more details. Do your due diligence and know what you are buying. The van is listed locally and I may end the auction at any time due to local sale or trade.
$500 Non-refundable down payment is due within 24 hours. Full payment in due in 5 days from end of auction, if using paypal a 4% fee will be added. After five days the van will be relisted and down payment forfeited. Van can stay on my property for 14 days from the end of the auction. I can provide some assistance working with shippers.

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
