93 Eurovan MV for restore or parts, near Gettysburg PA. IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE: 3 day auction, no reserve, MUST BE MOVED BY MAY 24th, 5 pm. I've got 75+ guests coming in next weekend, and need my old friend out of the way. If van is not moved by then, the 175 deposit is forfeited as I need to move it some other way and pay my ebay fee. Thanks.
The van: one day it wouldn't start (no whir, r-r-r-r. no nothing). We had several vehicles so I didn't fix it, but as it was my daughter's favorite, I held on to it. Never fixed it. Time to let it go to someone that can use it (or use parts of it).
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY:
THE GOOD: until it didn't start (starter? solenoid?) the engine ran well and the transmission worked well. Seat upholstery is in good shape. HUGE luggage area in rear. Fold down back seat to connect to uphosltered cargo area and it makes a very large bed. Cool rear seat arrangement faces each other with fold out table (this is what my daughter loved). Water pump and timing belt replaced some years ago.
THE BAD: a.) not running [see above] b.) worse: hasn't been run in several years (don't remember when, but the inspection sticker expired July 2010. I would imagine the fuel injection system would be pretty gummed up, aside from other problems of sitting idle. c.) when it was running, the AC didn't work d.) van needed - and still would need - a new tensioner for the serpentine belt. Not long before it stopped starting, I'd replaced the serpentine belt but didn't replace the tensioner. The old tensioner had gotten stiff, and so it made the new belt squeal. It ran fine, but was noisy. d.) missing sliding window on passenger side rear door, damaged mirror on driver side, some loose panels inside e.) latch doesn't snap tight on rear door, f.) driver seat very hard to shift postion, sometimes I've had to unbolt to change f.) various other issues of a twenty year old van that has been sitting a while that are not coming to mind right now
THE UGLY: faded paint (especially on hood and roof), bend in hood where someone tried to shut it with the brace in place, a bit of rust on lower sides, dirty carpet
IMPORTANT: We have about 75+ guests coming next weekend. THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION WITH NO RESERVE. VAN MUST BE PICKED UP BY MAY 24th 5PM at the latest. Buyer must put down $175 deposit that will not be refunded if you do not have the van moved by May 24th at 5pm. There is a salvage yard nearby that might pick it up and hold it for a few days for a fee, but you would need to arrange that with them. Nice guys, I think they'd do it for a fair rate. Thanks! -questions, submit Q to seller or call Scott at 717 321 3321.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]
Tue, 31 Dec 2013Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
