 1993 Eurovan weekender package for sale.   Please read the entire description for this sale:

This vehicle has a been a wonderful VW for me.  I've had it 5 years, had some great trips with my family, great concerts/tailgating.  
I am selling as I now have 5 VW’s in my driveway, 2 Vespas, and a London double decker bus in mid restoration.   My wife and neighbors are 1/2 step away from killing me if something doesn’t go!!!
Anyone who has had one of these knows how versatile they are.   Seats 7.  Sleeps 4.   can fit a full 4'x8' sheet of drywall/plywood inside.  Great for taking all the kids to sporting events, and i fit just about everything i ever needed from Home Depot into it with no problem!!  I am sad to be listing it, but just too many things going on right now in my driveway !

Seats 2 up front, 5 in the rear (3 along bench seat, 2 in rear facing seats).  Rear seat folds down, slides out, creating another bed.  Top pops up, but no interior camping gear such as a stove/fridge.

I am the 4th owner of this Eurovan and bought it in 10/2009 with 145k miles (it now has 179k +/- as I’m still using it daily.  It was originally an Arizona car, then to VA in 2005, then to NJ in 2006.

 It originally had an automatic trans which was essentially non-functioning.   I decided to take the manual transmission out of my other eurovan (same year, hardtop, but with a bad body), and put the manual trans into this camper.   The manual trans had ~150k when we put it in the camper (installing a new clutch at the time).  All work was performed by RPM in Westwood, NJ in spring 2010.
Anyone who has had one of these knows how problematic the autotrans can be!!
The other engine from the donor Eurovan also comes with this Auction.   It has ~150k on it.

The camper has run beautifully since the transmission swapover and I use it as my daily driver as well as periodic trips to Virginia Beach (about a 7 hour trip each way).



The camper is in decent shape but does need some attention, especially on a couple of rust spots.  I will list out everything I know to be wrong with the van.
-horn is present but doesn’t work
-cruise control doesn't work
-driver’s window won’t go up or down.   The motor is fine; it’s an electrical issue somewhere.
-rear speakers are present but unusable and need to be replaced.
-AC doesn’t work (blows air, but not cold)
-Dashpod temperature gauge and gas gauge work intermittently.  Articles on various VW user sights state it’s a loose connection and is fairly common and fixable.
-surface rust along vertical body seams on the side of the camper in the rear.
-surface and rocker rust on passenger side front door (worst area and perforated)
-surface rust on driver rocker area
-minor defects/broken pieces in trim work (see pictures)
-exhaust has several leaks.  Muffler is only a year old, but area around the catalytic converter has leaks; not the cat itself though.
-handle to open the cargo door is broken.  It functions fine, but the part that you squeeze with the grip of your fingers is split in two. 
-pop top canvas has some tears but can be repaired without having to completely remove everything (I envisioned simply cutting out the bad areas and sewing in a screened area, but never got around to it).
-Radio functions perfectly but is the originally cassette player (hey, at least it’s not 8-track!)
 
Positive stuff:
-I have all service records since I’ve owned it, and a lot of records from prior owners
-Tires are Kumho 235/65/16 104H which are rated at 104H (for heavier cars) and have ~80% tread left on them.   1 extra tire comes with it (same as 4 on the van).
-All screens,curtains, and headrests are on or with the camper
-Fiamma F45 retractable awning (works beautifully!)
-Roof racks (but not for anything super heavy;  maybe skis, surboard, or perhaps a canoe)
-all cup holders are intact :)


-
I encourage potential buyers to come see it, test drive it, etc… I will also take it to a local shop/dealer of your choice to have them do an overall inspection of the vehicle (potential buyers and I would  have to agree how to handle this).
I will do my best to provide any additional pictures and/or video requested.
Camper is also listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if there is a non-ebay buyer.
Camper is a nice vehicle with some  issues due to age and wear and tear; but all issues can be resolved.
I have set a reserve price which I feel is reasonable, in line with market prices MINUS the estimated costs to repair all items I listed as being problematic with the vehicle.
I will edit auction to add a "buy it now price" if an acceptable offer is made (otherwise, we just let the auction runs its course)
I am available to show/test drive it Mon/Tues/Sat/Sun of this week.

I will NOT ship to Nigeria, will not accept checks from Nigeria, won't wire money to Nigeria, and won't deal with folks who's secretary "accidentally" sent me $5,000 too much. 
I also don't have a lot of patience for buyers who want to ding ebay sellers for differences in opinion on the condition of items being sold.  If you want more detail, ask:  I will send you as many pictures as I can.
I will work with any buyer if there is truly something that I have overlooked, but if its just a buyer with an overinflated sense of entitlement, well, please just move along and save your drama for someone else.


Happy bidding.  I will do my best to answer questions in a timely fashion.
Thank you!

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
