This is an extremely cool Westfalia camper van from the era of great looking VW vans. You may have seen this van listed here recently. I bought it a couple months ago for my teenage daughter, but driving it turned out to be just too much for her as a first car. I should have know better I guess.
I purchased it for $14,000 and then took it to Bristows Automotive in Tacoma and put another $3500 into it to make it safe, trustworthy, and comfortable. We had a good tuneup done on it, a new alternator, replaced the drag link and inner and outer tie rods, replaced ball joint boots and so on. In addition, I had the front seat belts replaced with modern style belts as opposed to the horrid straightjacket style that originally came in it. Makes it much more comfortable to drive.
It also has a brand new canvas top to the camper.
The van looks great and runs very well. It's a gas to drive and gets looks, waves, honks and nods wherever you go in it. Lots of fun. I just wish it was right for my kid.
Buyer must send $500 non-refundable deposit by Paypal, the balance in cash or certified funds. I can help arrange shipping if that is needed.
Bid large and bid often! This is a very cool van. It isn't perfect, but then it would be 30 grand or more. What it is, is a great driver for someone that wants the coolest ride on the road.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
