This bug runs just fine, engine is strong and all gears work properly.  It is a good, solid vehicle but does show some wear.  It has about 7000 miles on it since it was built.  It has not seen any off-road use, but has been driven on dirt/gravel roads where it has been in South Dakota.  The car was originally built professionally in Surprise, AZ before it came to South Dakota.  I am selling it because I have 4 VW based vehicles and I just don't use them often enough to justify keeping them all.  

The vehicle sale includes a tow bar, two extra sets of tires as listed above, and one extra set of Centerline wheels which have the studded tires mounted on them.

So, what's wrong with it?  Here are the items I'm aware of:

There are a few hail dents in the roof, courtesy of a South Dakota hail storm.
The Line lock does not work properly
There are chips in the paint in various areas, notably on the left rear fender.  The rear fenders are gray fiberglass and have been primed and rattle can painted.  
There are areas on the body that have been primered and rattle can painted.  No rust, but I filled in holes in the doors left by previous owners mirror installation, also holes filled on rear quarter panels where fenders were replaced.
The VDO speedometer is driven by a magnetic sensor which is not working correctly.  I have been using the GPS for a speedometer.  The speedometer drive either needs to be replaced with a direct drive or properly located to work correctly.  As a result, the mileage shown above is way in excess of the actual mileage since the engine rebuild.

Shipping:  I do not ship.  You must make arrangements to ship the vehicle if necessary.  I can deliver the vehicle and extras in the Denver area.  I travel from Denver to Hot Springs, SD so I could meet buyer on the route to deliver also.  You can tow this car easily with the included tow bar.  PLEASE:  If you want me to deliver as stated above, contact me before bidding to make arrangements since I have a tight schedule.

Payment:  I will accept cash or bank check written on local bank.  Paypal is acceptable if you cover the paypal additional fees (2.9%).  Full payment must be made before I can deliver the vehicle to you.

Inspection:  The vehicle will be in Westminster, CO prior to the auction ending date.  You may make arrangements through ebay email to see the car anytime after June 8.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
