Pop-up Camper Top Model With Half-fridge, 2nd Battery And Solar Panels. 201 Hp! on 2040-cars
Rich Creek, Virginia, United States

I bought this van with 85K miles from a kindly gentleman and his wife out of Kalamzaoo, MI in Feb 2012. It has served me very well for music festivals, beach trips and also as a utility vehicle for my occasional need to move tools and equipment. It has a Reese hitch also which I only used for my 4x6 trailer. I paid $17K for the van then.
It has a nice Pioneer head unit and CD player with auxiliary input with JBL 6-speaker system. Sounds great! I added a Memphis Audio amp and subwoofer and also got the van tinted down nicely to the South Carolina and Virginia limit which helps keep her cooler in the Summer ($900). Right after I bought it, I had it looked over by the Auto Haus of Myrtle Beach to the tune of $2600 to replace high pressure power steering hose, AC control module, tune up, one coil pack, and AC service. This year had to replace the AC pump and belt later for around $750. I put new shocks on the front myself. This van is a joy to own and drive. It's the VW van that can get out of its own way ;) It's a festival hit, and a very practical camper (sleep 2 up, 2 down). It gets 20+ MPG highway, which is unheard of for an RV. While the van has a clean Virginia title, I did learn when I tried to list it that the title is salvage from an accident back in 2003. Apparently the van was repainted at that time. I had no idea from the performance of the vehicle that it ever had an accident. The only indication I had was when I had it aligned, the tech let me know that the caster and camber were fine, but that one of the front wheels is a fraction of an inch in front of the other...he said that could cause a pull but would not wear tires. I never noticed a pull so I call it 'good' :) This was not disclosed to me (bad karma) and I didn't Carfax it (trusting as I am) but I will disclose this to you. Be not afraid. This is a fine vehicle with mostly complete service record, low miles, and high fun factor! Selling for financial reasons for below market (just what I paid) in respect for the tradition this increasingly rare van represents and to account for the status of the title. |

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
