The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This bus is used and has scratches, dents, dings, tears and other wonderful character details."

I bought this bus a few months ago as a restoration project and have just honestly lost interest. 3 businesses and 4 kids will do that. I've gotten as far as installing a new engine from West Coast Core, new exhaust, rebuilt tranny with new clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. This bus runs and drives amazing, shifts great and stops good. About 20 miles on this new engine.

I've also started acquiring other parts:

New front tin

New front seat covers and cushions from bus depot.com

Kick panels

The exterior has a rust thru in both front floor pans(small) and in the rear near the battery box. Both easy fixes. There is a little surface rust in other places but nothing that couldn't be sanded and painted. The windshield is solid all the way around. Good rubber under.

The sunroof was siliconed shut when I bought it. I've removed the silicone but so far unable to free it up under its own crank. No dents or excessive rust on the roof though so should just be a mechanical issue with the crank itself.

I kept the old engine and will be part of your purchase as well as all parts. The interior is not terrible but will need a new headliner for sure. The liner on the sunroof appears to be in real good shape and may just need a good cleaning.

Please email with any questions and I'll try to answer as quickly as possible.

Thanks for bidding and I'm certain someone who loves these VW's will enjoy finishing this one up.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.

VW confirms Golf GTD diesel coming to US for 2016

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Part of the Volkswagen Golf recipe that has helped the car sell more than 30 million units in just under 40 years is the number of variants in which the hatchback is offered. Building on that range here in the US, Automotive News is reporting that we will finally be getting the sporty Golf GTD, likely as a 2016 model. It's the GTD, you'll recall, that crosses the performance abilities of the venerable GTI with a powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engine.
After speaking with Andreas Valbuena, Volkswagen product manager for the Golf, AN not only says that the GTD will for sale in the US in a couple years, it also estimates a baseline price of around $27,000, which would place it between the current pricing for the GTI and the Golf R. The GTD is launching in Europe this summer, but we won't be getting the seventh-generation Golf in the US for another year. The news about the performance diesel model isn't entirely unexpected - VW officials have been hinting at it for at least a year now, going so far as to import a sixth-generation model for media test drives on US soil, a task we happily took them up on last year.
The Mk VII GTD uses VW's 2.0-liter TDI engine with output increased to 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, allowing the car to sprint to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds while returning more than 40 mpg in highway driving. We can't wait.
