I have owned this VW
Eurovan Camper for over one year. I originally purchased the van from a
photographer in Boulder while I was living in Boulder, CO. I was a weekend
warrior in the van until this past summer. I lived in the van for over 4 months
while touring national parks of the west. I had always dreamed of visiting the
splendors of the west on my own schedule and this was the perfect vehicle for
my travels. I have a lifetime of photos and memories from my trip. Fellow VW
owners and other car campers made my trip unforgettable. If you have always dreamed
on traveling in comfort and simplicity, look no further than this reliable RV.
Be prepared you are about to join an elite group of Eurovan Camper owners and
adventurers. Long conversations will ensue about travels and the joy of owning
one of these unique vehicles. I have all the original paper work and
pamphlets neatly organized in a binder with page protectors. I have documented
and saved all receipts and maintenance records. First and foremost this van is
mechanically sound. All maintenance while I owned it and the previous owner
owned it was performed by Indian Peaks Auto (303-413-1163), located at 5757
Arapahoe Ave #D1 in Boulder, CO. These guys are the VW professionals in Boulder
and they can attest to the meticulous maintenance this van has undergone. New
front brake rotors were recently installed by Young’s Ole Volks Home in Bend,
OR. New rear muffler was also recently installed. The previous owner had the vehicle lifted 2
inches and also had 16inch tires installed from the factory 15inch. If you are
doing any kind of adventures in this vehicle or any VW Eurovan Camper, I highly
recommend having this essential upgrade done. I had previously test drove a non-lifted
VW Eurovan Camper and the handling difference is night and day. I encourage you
to do your own research and determine for yourself that the lifted vehicles are
superior. Also it should be noted that the lift provides additional clearance
for the low hanging LP tank and accessories. From the carfax reports I have run, I’m
told I am the 4th owner. During my time as owner I wanted to upgrade
and replace a few things to ensure I would have worry free and comfortable
travels. I designed and installed an adjustable plexi glass organizing system
in the rear wardrobe. I installed new Pioneer speakers throughout the cabin for
a clearer and crisp music experience. I installed a new battery operated Carbon
Monoxide Detector and a new Liquid Petroleum (LP) and Carbon Monoxide detector
that is hardwired into the auxiliary battery. I also installed new heavy duty
locking pop top struts. I also installed a Yakima Roof Rack System and Thule
Ascent 1100 Cargo box for additional gear storage. I had a custom made flannel
fitted sheet for the rear bed. I also purchased a GoWesty Memory foam mattress
topper. New struts on the top above the sink were also installed. There are
custom fitted heavy duty floor mats for the driver and passenger. I took the
time to also cut and install rubber shelving mats in all of the cabinets. I have also installed a K&N air filter. As a camper this vehicle has performed
flawlessly. The LP heater works amazing and can run on & off all night,
because it is supported by an upgraded heavy duty auxiliary battery. The fridge
works great and is normally run at 2 on the scale of 1-5 for cold because of
how efficient it is. Both stove burners work and can be lit at the same time, although
the owner’s manual does not recommend this. The tables work great for eating or
working and both seats swivel around for various seating configurations. Areas of the vehicle that should be
addressed are a crack on the lower portion of the driver side windshield. This
crack has not expanded or grown from the time I have purchased the vehicle,
even with the diverse climate here in Colorado. Since the crack did not spread,
I could not justify replacing the windshield. Minor screen damage on the pop
top camper, please see photos and video. I have done my best to stitch and
repair this screen. These campers in my experience are notorious for screen
damage. Dent from previous owner in the rear hatch on the driver side, please see
photos. Minor scratches on the front of the vehicle from normal road wear.
There was previously an awning installed on the passenger side of the vehicle
that I had removed and body filled back up. Each hole was not bigger than a
dime and was properly repaired. I have taken and uploaded over 100 pictures and a video to flicker, so potential buyers can see every aspect of the vehicle. I have no problem allowing test drives for potential buyers or answering any questions. This vehicle and the trips taken in it have been a highlight of my life. I have full confidence in selling this vehicle as a mechanically sound and clean van. Please note that the bike rack & bike pictured are not included with the sale of this vehicle. |

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit
Wed, Jan 24 2018When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
