Pop-up Camper Top Model With Half-fridge, 2nd Battery And Solar Panels. 201 Hp! on 2040-cars
Rich Creek, Virginia, United States

I bought this van with 85K miles from a kindly gentleman and his wife out of Kalamzaoo, MI in Feb 2012. It has served me very well for music festivals, beach trips and also as a utility vehicle for my occasional need to move tools and equipment. It has a Reese hitch also which I only used for my 4x6 trailer. I paid $17K for the van then.
It has a nice Pioneer head unit and CD player with auxiliary input with JBL 6-speaker system. Sounds great! I added a Memphis Audio amp and subwoofer and also got the van tinted down nicely to the South Carolina and Virginia limit which helps keep her cooler in the Summer ($900). Right after I bought it, I had it looked over by the Auto Haus of Myrtle Beach to the tune of $2600 to replace high pressure power steering hose, AC control module, tune up, one coil pack, and AC service. This year had to replace the AC pump and belt later for around $750. I put new shocks on the front myself. This van is a joy to own and drive. It's the VW van that can get out of its own way ;) It's a festival hit, and a very practical camper (sleep 2 up, 2 down). It gets 20+ MPG highway, which is unheard of for an RV. While the van has a clean Virginia title, I did learn when I tried to list it that the title is salvage from an accident back in 2003. Apparently the van was repainted at that time. I had no idea from the performance of the vehicle that it ever had an accident. The only indication I had was when I had it aligned, the tech let me know that the caster and camber were fine, but that one of the front wheels is a fraction of an inch in front of the other...he said that could cause a pull but would not wear tires. I never noticed a pull so I call it 'good' :) This was not disclosed to me (bad karma) and I didn't Carfax it (trusting as I am) but I will disclose this to you. Be not afraid. This is a fine vehicle with mostly complete service record, low miles, and high fun factor! Selling for financial reasons for below market (just what I paid) in respect for the tradition this increasingly rare van represents and to account for the status of the title. |

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
