These great cars are getting harder and harder to find. Here's your chance to become a member of an exclusive community!

Recently on a 10472miles roadtrip all across the states this great little camper has seen almost any corner and every hill of the country!

If it has always been your dream to take a roadtrip to all the national parks all over the country, this is the perfect mini RV for you. Fit in any parking spot and have your house with you, nice little fridge and sink and plenty of cabinets to store all your camping needs! And the best you can even sleep four adults in two seperate beds!

But I'm sure if you're reading this you already know all about the westys ;) so lets talk about this one!

The goods:

The bads:

-large temperature changes over the day can cause tank to draw a vacuum which ocasionaly requires you to open the gascap before the first start of the day
-no aircooled VW should be driven faster then 65mph!
-I replaced the original 30 years old mattress for the top bed with a new memory foam mattress  (kept the westy covers)
-the leg for the front table is missing
-the left burner of the stove is not working, maybe easy maybe not, I only needed one so I never found out ;)
-the fridge is nice to have but the don't get really cold like all westys
-sliding window lock on the right side doesn't lock
-nickel-sized rusthole under windshield on the right side
-pop-top canvas has a rip, which is taped up
-as I wrote in the goods she is a Florida car, but the turnside is that the humidity loosened parts of the paper roofceiling, I used to have a flag pinned on the roof to cover it up, but If you're more ambitious this should be one of those DIY things ;)
-crack in the front bumper plastic edge
-like all old cars they require alot of attention and care, but they are unique little cars and well wort your while!




I'm not making a living selling Vanagons, so this one here will be alot cheaper then any of the professional dealer ones like from GoWesty, but I took good care of her for the short time I had the pleasure to own a real Westy and am proud to have toured the states in a real classic, but all good things must come to an end, so this is your opportunity to buy a roadtrip-tested Westy and do that trip of a lifetime you always wanted, or simply use her for the weekend camping trip, no matter your plans there's no better car for them then the great Vanagon Westfalia!
Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and special picture requests, even a roadtrip-report ;)

Thanks for reading and happy bidding!



btw: on the rockerpanel picture the little colourful little things are magnets to prove that there is no body fill anywhere
and I hope you understand that I had to put a reserve price to my absolute minimum, but please feel free to bid, you might be eligible for a second chance offer if she doesn't sell ;)

VW pulls Lamborghini and Bentley from the Paris Motor Show

Tue, Sep 20 2016

It's been slightly more than a year since the news that Volkswagen had intentionally cheated on diesel emissions testing broke. Since then, the company's reputation and image have suffered and it has struggled to regain its footing and composure. The automaker is shelling out billions in fines, so cost cutting is inevitable. Today, Reuters reports that Volkswagen subsidiaries Lamborghini and Bentley won't bring their elaborate displays to the Paris Motor Show next week. Auto shows can cost automakers millions of dollars, especially for supercar and luxury car brands that constantly try to compete and one-up with each other. Much of the money and fanfare goes to catering the media, and if an automaker has nothing new to reveal it can be difficult to justify the expense. The company told Reuters that it plans to attend smaller events that focus more on potential buyers. The Volkswagen group as a whole has shifted it's focus, both when it comes to products and auto shows like Paris. Next week, the automaker will be focusing on electric vehicles and electromobility. The company plans to reveal a new EV with 373 miles of range, eclipsing both the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt. Volkswagen has plans for 30 new electric vehicles by 2025. Lamborghini and Bentley aren't the only major automakers skipping Paris. Ford, Volvo, and Aston Martin have all decided to save money and focus their efforts elsewhere. Related Video:

Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE concept previews new midsize CUV... again

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Volkswagen has taken a big step towards the long-awaited second model to be built at its Chattanooga, TN factory, introducing the two-row Cross Coupe GTE Concept at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The relatively handsome two-row crossover borrows its basic styling language from the CrossBlue Concept that launched at the 2013 Detroit show (that we later had a brief chance to drive), and the CrossBlue Coupe from that year's Shanghai Motor Show. To be entirely frank, it just looks like a much more production-ready version of the Shanghai concept. The more aggressive elements of that model, like its rear taillights, rounded wheel arches, and aggressive front and rear fascias, have been toned down considerably. In other words, this concept almost wouldn't look out of place on the average road. Changes in the cabin are similarly minor, with the same basic design as the CrossBlue, complemented by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display. While it's still quite clearly a concept car interior, it's not hard to imagine VW transitioning this cockpit into a production model. Riding atop the Volkswagen Group's MQB architecture – making it a relative, albeit distant, of cars like the VW Golf, Audi TT and the Euro-market Passat – the Cross Coupe GTE is motivated by a 3.6-liter VR6 that's been mated to not one, but two electric motors (one on each axle). The gas engine offers up 276 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the front axle's electric motor generates 54 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, and the rear can deliver a more robust 114 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque. That cacophony can be easily boiled down to this: the Cross Coupe GTE has a total system output of 355 hp and 280 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to get the five-seater to 60 miles per hour in six seconds, on to a top speed of 130 miles per hour. As a plug-in hybrid, though, there's more to the Cross Coupe GTE then just its power output. Range plays a big role, and in that regard, this concept is fairly average. It can cover 20 miles when its 14.1-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery is charged up. Beyond that, the drivetrain can be set to a number of modes to optimize the behavior of plug-in-hybrid powertrain. In E-Mode, which can be locked in via a battery hold/battery charge mode, all 20 miles of range are available, although the Cross Coupe's driver will only have the 114-hp rear axle electric motor to work with.

VW CFO Hans Dieter Potsch nominated as new board chairman

Fri, Sep 4 2015

The search for a successor to Ferdinand Piech has come to an end as the Volkswagen Group has nominated a new chairman. The Executive and Nomination committees of VW's Supervisory Board have put their weight behind one Hans Dieter Potsch, who currently serves on the company's management board as its chief financial officer. He's expected to continue in his current role until November when an extraordinary general meeting of the supervisory board can be called to confirm his nomination and a replacement CFO can be found to take his place. As you may recall, the chairmanship of the Volkswagen board fell until recently to Ferdinand Piech, grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and one of the principals of the Porsche family that holds over 50 percent ownership in Volkswagen through Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Piech went head to head with VW CEO Martin Winterkorn and ultimately lost. Piech resigned and Winterkorn is about to have his term as chief executive extended through the end of 2018. In Piech's place, former union head Berthold Huber was named as interim chairman, but is now referred to in the statement below once again as deputy chairman instead. An Austrian native, Potsch is an industrial engineer by training. He started his career at BMW where he ultimately served as group controller, and subsequently served as CFO and as chairman at a number of German corporations. Potsch joined the VW management board in 2003, initially without portfolio, and soon assumed the financial portfolio – a role he has held until now. In 2009 he took on the additional role of chief financial officer at the Porsche holding company, whose supervisory board representatives are the parties proposing Potsch's nomination as the group's new chairman – even though he is not, strictly speaking, one of their own. In a related development, it appears that Julia Kuhn-Piech will be leaving her board seat sooner than expected. The departing chairman Ferdinand Piech opposed his niece's nomination to the board in his place, and now she'll apparently be stepping down to make way for the family's new choice of chairman.
