This vehicle starts, runs and drives great. The transmission shifts and drives smooth. I've had this vehicle for two years now and drove it very few miles. I used it mainly for camping trips and to haul larger items. I recently moved and now we just don't have the driveway space and so I'm forced to part with it. There are a few minor things that need to be fixed but I just never had time to get around to it. It's a wonderful vehicle for being 20+ years old and with relatively low miles!
There are a few small dents and scratches and some minor body rust (see pictures). Otherwise it's in good shape. The tires are only 3 years old with very good tread left and only about 10,000 miles driven on them. The rear wiper does not work (it just might be a fuse). Also needs left front window regulator (I still have the windshield wiper arm which stripped right off the bolt). The rear hatch latch button is loose but still works. Probably a simple fix but, again, I never got around to it. All the exterior signals and lights work. The underbody has a fair amount of rust but everything functions properly. This van amazingly does NOT rattle even when you hit the larger potholes! I replaced the water pump, ball joints, and exhaust system last year. I recently replaced the oil pressure switch (leaked oil big time but now it stopped). Replaced front upper control arm bushings and right front upper arms (also had alignment done - it drives nice and straight). It needs a rear brake job (pads are down to less than 10%). Also needs a fuel tank seal (leaks slightly when full). The A/C compressor is disconnected (I'm not even sure if it works). The heat works great though! The electrical system has no serious problems. The power steering line leaks and needs to be replaced so the power steering does not work (a little muscle gets the job done). The cruise control also works great for those longer trips! The interior is clean and generally is in good shape. I had some minor modifications done to the interior lighting (now VERY bright). One of the instrument panel lights is not working so its tough to see tachometer, fuel and temp gauges at night. Front right window does not roll down which can easily be modified and fixed (once again, I never got around to it). The power locks and power windows have been disconnected so it's back to the basics in this department (you might be able to get them to work with a little electrical know-how). The passenger seat back does not 'lock in' so it rocks back and forth when passenger is sitting in it (a minor inconvenience and simple fix). All the seat belts function properly. I have the original snap-on privacy curtains which are in great shape. There is also a very nice Panasonic CD player deck installed with great sound! (needs an antenna though). Winning offer must pay $500 deposit to my PayPal within 24 hours of close. The balance must be paid in full by certified bank check within 3 days. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I have past maintenance receipts available upon request. The title is free and clear. Please contact me with any questions and I will try to promptly answer them. This vehicle is for sale as-is and I'm not 'parting it out'. Please make an honest offer only if you are serious about buying it. Thank you! |

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range
Wed, Oct 8 2014Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.

VW's Winterkorn to stick around through at least 2018
Thu, Sep 3 2015Volkswagen may yet to have found a new chairman, but it's not about to get rid of its chief executive any time soon. The German automaker has announced its intention to renew Martin Winterkorn's contract through the end of 2018. That is, assuming that the Supervisory Board heeds the recommendation of its own Executive Committee when the full 20-member board meets on September 25. 68-year-old Winterkorn joined the Volkswagen Group back in 1993 after a decade and a half at Bosch. He was named head of Audi in 2002, and chairman of the Board of Management (effectively the chief executive officer) of the entire Volkswagen Group in 2007. Just a few months ago he faced off against Ferdinand Piech – chairman of the company's supervisory board and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche – that resulted in Winterkorn's victory and Piech's resignation. The executive committee's endorsement, then, is effectively a vote of confidence in Winterkorn's leadership. It still leaves unresolved the question of who will ultimately take over as chairman to succeed Piech. Winterkorn was touted for a potential promotion, but if the supervisory board renews his contract – currently set to expire next year – he'll be staying right where he is and a new chairman will need to be found. The chair is currently filled on an interim basis by Berthold Huber, former head of the union that was instrumental in Piech's ousting. Wolfsburg, 02 September 2015 Resolution of the Executive Committee of the Volkswagen AG Supervisory Board The Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG unanimously agreed a resolution for submission to the Supervisory Board at its meeting on September 25, 2015 under which a new contract as Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG for a term until December 31, 2018 should be concluded with Professor Dr. Martin Winterkorn. "Together with Professor Martin Winterkorn at the helm we will continue on our successful path of recent years and systematically implement the goals of Strategy 2018", Berthold Huber, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG, said.
