Volkswagen Vanagon 1991 Carat Version on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
|
1991 Volkwagon Vanagon Carat version with excellent virtually rust free body straight without accidents . Never run on the beach no salt. Interior is mostly original in good condition. It was originally handicap equipped with passenger front seat taken out ,but front seat has been replaced. Front windshield has crack. Paint is original with some wear and tear scratches and blemishes. Turn signal wiring needs some revision. I have replacement turn signal (left front)
Engine is rough, but I recently drove to New York and back. Performance does not inspire confidence. These vehicle were underpowered from the start. The oil drain plug is frozen and oil changes are done with suctioning the oil out the filler tube or dip stick hole. The AC is out with bad compressor. I had to hotwire a cooling fan in (autozone parking lot) but it keeps engine temp down better than original, but is toggle switch controlled.
I wanted to convert to a subaru engine. "VANARU". Either subaru legacy EJ22 or EJ25 . Or to replace the present engine with a rebuild Both option would be great for this body. The brakes and shocks are newer and the tires are European commercial which are oversized. Giving the van a fuller stance.
$500 deposit require 24 hrs after auction end. . Pick up is Saint Augustine FL only. Would recommend
trailer or flatbed unless you are local. Balance due upon pick up in cash , bank check, silver,gold or platinum. No personal check. No bartering once the auction is over. If you are not satisfied I will give you a $250 refund and sell it to the next person.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
