We are offering at auction a 1982 VW Westfalia pop top camper Diesel. We have the receipt for approx. $3600 for a VW factory rebuilt engine in 2001 which lists the mileage at the time as 3,975.the current odometer reading is approx 38,600 so we're guessing the engine has about 35k on it.The van is being sold as true mileage unknown because the original odometer must have been replaced around the time and mileage the engine was replaced and we have no way of knowing for certain.We installed a rebuilt fuel injection pump,fuel and oil filters,timing belt, glow plugs,manifold to muffler pipe and tailpipe and new front grille. We have the receipts for all the new parts as well as many old receipts ,besides the one for the engine,the original warranty booklet,and the original sales contract for the van to the original 67 year old couple that bought it for $16k+ in Fla.The engine starts very quickly in sub freezing temps and runs very strong.The clutch engages smoothly and the trans shifts with no issues,tires all match with approx. 75% tread left.The van drives straight,stops properly and although you'll win no races it drives great. There was rust thru on the front corner of the sliding door and in the panel between the top of the front bumper and bottom of the lower grille which was cut out and replaced by welded in metal(one of the pics show the new metal before paint)we also welded in a new drivers side body panel between the door and rear dogleg which had just begun to break thru with a metal replacement panel from The Bus Depot. Those areas were the only rust thru on the van. Once repaired they were painted with the correct factory code paint although it is a shade lighter than the remaining original paint. The only project we left undone is the replacement of the material on the pop up part of the roof(avail.@ The Bus Depot for about $300)The roof operates as it should but the canvas has deteriorated. All the lights,directionals,wipers,horn,gages,speedo,odometer and aftermarket Kenwood radio work. We've driven the van several hundred miles without a hiccup and a lot of enjoyment. We encourage inspection and a test drive if possible and will respond to emails. If you'd prefer to speak with us on the phone let us know and we'll provide a #. All inspections and questions must come BEFORE the end of the auction. Also we monitor our auctions closely and will not accept any zero rated bidders or those with questionable feedback. We cancel and block those bidders. Thank you.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
VW, Suzuki mulling rekindling relationship in face of legal battle
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Volkswagen and Suzuki have been undergoing marriage counseling in a bid to avoid finalizing their nasty divorce. The blissful union has been troubled for some time, with Volkswagen claiming that it could affect operational decisions at Suzuki, and the Japanese brand's sniping and constant flirting with a certain Italian temptress causing rifts.
The matter first went to court in 2012, when Suzuki demanded VW get out, and leave its 19.9-percent stake in the Japanese brand in a box to the left. Now, Automotive News is reporting that the company will give the relationship one last shot, according to closed-door dealings between the two in London.
Still, it's understood that VW and Suzuki recognize the benefit of their alliance, and that it'd be in the best interests of the kids both parties to make things work. Spokespeople declined to comment to AN, but the newsmagazine spoke with Frank Biller, an analyst for LBBW in Stuttgart, who said, "Both companies stand to benefit if they can overcome the disagreements over leadership claims."
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
