SYNCRO PROJECT - I thought I could handle it... I was wrong.

Too much rust.

I bought a rust free van, and I'm unloading these.


Here is what's included: 

1986 Syncro - non locker - most of interior removed, except for front seats and rear bench (no carpet etc.) - runs and drives GREAT - VC works great - AC unit is falling from roof - don't know if it works

1987 Syncro - SUNROOF works awesome - locking trans removed (included) - no engine - weekender interior - front diff and suspension all there (never driven - not sure of condition)

1991 (I think) red donor van - body only - totally stripped - for rust repair - see pics

2 sets of front doors with power windows & locks

Extra sliding door

Extra rear window

Boxes of parts and stuff

I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting - I will update the ad if I remember anything...

The 86 is very solid and was going to be my foundation, requiring mostly body work to be road worthy.  will need other minor work to get on the road - I got most of the electrical bugs worked out, but not all.

The 87 (sunroof) is extremely rusty, but also very rare - I had a guy from a body shop out to look at it and he said it is certainly repairable, but it would be very expensive. My intent was to transplant the roof and interior into the running van. It has the "weekender" interior (which I think is really 'multivan') but no front seats - but that's ok because the front seats in the '86 are pretty decent.

I have spoken to several people who say that a Syncro-Sunroof is the rarest and should not be cut up. If it does not sell in this auction, and I am forced to sell everything individually, it is not likely that I will sell it. I will transplant the roof and interior to my other van as I originally intended.

There is enough here to build a nice Syncro with a sunroof and a rear locking diff.

THE MERCEDES WHEELS WITH NEW TIRES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE - they will be replaced with stock 14" vanagon alloys - I have 5 - 4 of which have good tires.

YOU WILL NEED TO TOW ALL 3 VANS AWAY - the one that runs is not inspected.

I have the titles for all 3 vans

PLEASE DO NOT ASK TO BUY PARTS. if nobody takes the whole lot, I intend to break up the sale and sell things individually. I am not in a hurry.

Do not bother with "lowball" offers - I am starting the auction at the price I would accept for everything - no less.

No warranties - obviously.

No shipping.

No returns.

I would prefer cash or a cashier's check - I would even accept a balance transfer and paypal I guess. No transfer of goods will occur until checks clear or transferred funds are confirmed and available for withdrawal.

I will work with the buyer while they arrange a way to pick this up, to a point. I will not wait indefinitely. If I feel that the winning bidder is taking too long to pick up, I will terminate the contract and re-list the vans. 

I have lots and lots of pictures available upon request, and will try to set up a photobucket and add the links to this ad.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
