1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat Standard Passenger Van 3-door 2.1l on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
1991 VW Vanagon GL with Carat accessories. 2.1 liter flat four wasserboxer, 4 speed manual, power windows, door locks, runs and drives great, seats seven, rear seat folds down into a full size bed. This is a none smoking vehicle. There are no fluid leaks. This is the best driving vanagon I have driven, very strong and stable. I have every confidence that this could be driven anywhere without issue.
This was the last year these were imported into the US. I have owned the van for 5 years and have done all repairs and preventative maintenance needed. Some of the repairs include; -major service; all belts, fluids and filters (all OEM/German parts) -all engine oil and coolant sensors -two sets of Nokian C rated tires all in great shape (as pictured; winters on steel wheels and summers on alloys) -steering rack, tie rods, power steering pump followed by an alignment -water pump and t-stat -HD Bilstien shocks, front and rear -O2 sensor -cruis control actuator pod -front and rear brakes The stereo has been upgraded to a Blaupunkt 420 Toronto BT, with Bluetooth connection and USB port, detachable face, CD player, wired with a microphone for hands free calling(see mic above drivers visor in photo). The windshield has a chip, the A/C compressor works when charged, but is weak, the paint is not perfect. The front left corner has body repair that appears superficial and not structural. I have tried to photograph details of all the areas, but if you would like to see anything in better detail I am happy to take more pictures and email them to you. The winning bidder will be responsible for pick up of the vehicle. I can arrange to drive the van to Denver International Airport for anyone flying in to drive it home. The payment will need to clear before I sign the title. The plates will NOT go with the van. |

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.
VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
