This 1982 Westfalia was bought by our folks in 1984 and we have owned it for the last fifteen years. It has been very well taken care of and has been a Colorado rust free vehicle its whole life. I have personally maintained this van and have kept it in tip top shape as the years have gone by. I may miss some details of things I have done over the years but several things are as follows, replaced all fuel lines and tank seals last summer, rebuilt engine roughly 5000 miles ago, new clutch 5000 miles ago, brakes last summer, tires last summer (weight appropriate I might add), all of the fuel injection parts were replaced 5000 miles ago except for the computer itself, I ever so often would remove the wax and touch up the paint chips and control/remove any tiny rust spots that come from gravel road outings, many van owners haven't taken steps to protect their metal and it shows our van speaks for itself rust free and good looking. Now as for the futures you are looking for in a camper the top pops up in seconds and comes down just as quick, the canvas is perfect, this rv sleeps four two up top two on bottom, it has a very convenient little closet, water tank and sink with running water, two burner stove with stainless steel pull down counter top that covers the burners and allows you two convert the stove top into a counter top, refrigerator that runs on gas battery and electric, this van has the very rare built in camping furnace which is located under the van and when operating blows air into the van just like a ready heater it works perfectly and I have taken care of its maintenance also, their are many neat little features to this camper that i would be happy to tell/teach you about but you may either already know these vehicles pretty well or just have to discover some of them when you own one.
The important part to know about our van is that it is in perfect working order and ready for years of enjoyment. It is not a fixer upper that will cost you a bunch of money. If you keep up on its maintenance like our family has always done it will last you just as many years and go and go.
The only things about this van that are bad is #1 the odometer stopped counting miles two years ago. We have only taken two 500 mile trips in it since this happened and I would estimate altogether we have driven under 1500 miles since it quit.
#2 I have always wanted to get a custom paint job done in a watery blue tie die color but the paint has held up so good that every time I detail it out its to good to spend the money. Take a close look in the pictures and you will see that if you keep this van waxed and washed it still looks great.
We are only letting this go because as a family we have outgrown it and it has not been used much in the last three to five years. We have enjoyed being Westfalia owners and would really like to see someone who would use this and enjoy it as we have get it.
I will add one last thing that is extremely important to know since this is a vehicle you will be living in on occasion, we are very clean people and this is a very clean van, we have always used free bedding and extra padding and when you use this vehicle as a home on wheels you will be glad to have one this clean. Oh and yes it has all of its curtains and even has the original ice cube trays that came with it brand new. Also has books jack and tools. I'll do my best to answer questions you may have but rest assured this is a good Westy with nothing to hide.

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
