1978 Vw Bus Transporter Van on 2040-cars
Aliso Viejo, California, United States
|
Mostly restored and in excellent condition. Daily driver in southern CA, we take this bus anywhere. No problems on trips, freeway traffic, or beach traffic, ... it runs and drives excellent. Everything works. Strong rebuilt engine, goes up hills and mountains easily, had it done at 122k miles. No rust, all solid original with new paint - original color. When painted I had new rubber seals installed on all windows, and had a new windshield installed. New fuel filter, fuel filler neck/ hoses, etc. Only thing this bus could use is new cushioning in the front seat. The seat is deceiving, it looks great on the outside but the padding is shot. We love this bus but must sell to help finish a home transaction. Will buy another down the road.
- 2.0L engine recently rebuilt by Canyon Porsche/Volkswagen - a premium VW specialty shop in Laguna Beach (40 yrs). All Receipts. - Fuel injected, passes tough CA smog test no problem whatsoever - just renewed registration in June and passed first attempt. - 4 speed manual transmission. - No rust, all original panels. The only bad spot on bus is the battery tray, not visible but has corroded in spots. I put a piece of wood under battery so its secure and works great. - Good quality paint job. - Fuel filler neck, filler tubes, and fuel filter are all new, with new locking gas cap. No gas smell in this bus and safe to drive. - Many new and replaced parts over the years, great overall condition. Bus is listed for sale locally as well as ebay so auction will end as soon as sold. Don't hesitate to make offer or arrange to inspect the bus in person, (949) 362-0068 (does not accept text). Over the last couple years I've had many people want to buy this bus, now I must unfortunately sell it. I will be happy to help buyer with shipper or storing bus for up to a month at my house. Thank you for looking. |

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
