All --

I have a 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon that I need to sell straightaway. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this vehicle an 8.5 to 9. EXTERIOR -- Is in excellent shape. There is one small ding on the driver side rear of the vehicle (pictured) and a very small amount of seam rust. There is NO rust around any of the windows and all window seals are very tight. All of the windows open and close easily and there is no broken or cracked glass on the vehicle. The driver's side mirror is off the vehicle right now. I have both the old one and the new one. Old one was not perfect. New one in box is BRAND NEW and just needs to be installed. INTERIOR -- All of the seats and the carpet are in very good shape with few stains and no tears. Considering the vehicle is almost 30 years old, this is probably the best interior on one of these vehicles that I have seen in a long time. Carpet is good but not great. All panels are very, very clean. There is one 1" tear on the driver side of the vehicle near the second row passenger seat. All of the exterior lights work and the tires are in great shape. Lift gate and sliding door work perfectly. ENGINE / ELECTRICAL -- Engine generally runs very strong but is running a bit rough right now and I am not sure why. The panel below the steering column is off right now and again, I am not sure why.

Regardless, anyone looking for a VW Vanagon knows how simple these vehicles are to diagnose / repair / operate. My guess is that with a little tinkering, this will be an awesome, awesome daily driver.

I can send additional pictures to interested parties.

VW may make Bentley a subsidiary of Audi

Sun, Oct 25 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen plans to make British luxury carmaker Bentley a subsidiary of its Audi division as it seeks economies of scale among its top-end brands, German trade publication Automobilwoche reported. Bentley, for now overseen by the head of VW's Porsche business, Oliver Blume, will from next year be part of Audi, where VW group Chief Executive Herbert Diess believes it has more potential, Automobilwoche cited company sources as saying. Synergies could include using Audi technology for a new Bentley SUV, it added. Volkswagen, which declined to comment on the report, is reviewing the future of its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati motorcycles as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters this month that Volkswagen was working on plans to prepare Lamborghini for a stock market listing. Related Video: Audi Bentley Volkswagen

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales

Sun, Nov 27 2016

Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.
