I'm selling my VW Vanagon that my family had lots of fun times camping in. The van was given to our family by my wife's father who drove it from Oregon to Illinois. The kids are grown and gone now, so it is time to sell it. It ran well, and was maintained by a local foreign car shop until it was parked at my farm. Unfortunately it has been sitting for eight years. It had battery/electrical problems and the batteries were constantly dying despite new ones being put in. (It has two batteries) Evidently some sort of short. I had it worked on several times without any success. I had always intended to get it running again so I kept putting off selling it. It is now a project, and will need to be loaded on a trailer to be moved (tires are flat). I haven't tried to start it. It had no other mechanical problems that I was aware of when I stopped driving it. In one of the pictures there are several sets of keys. The starter ignition was replaced, so there are door keys and ignition keys.
I have included many pictures of the interior and exterior so you can get a good idea of what your bidding on. I noticed a dent in the rear bumper that is seen in the photo. The camper is clearly in need of lots of TLC, or perhaps could be used for parts. I was hoping someone that has the interest and skills to do the repairs might be interested in it. The paint is in very poor condition from sitting, but there is only one rust spot as seen in the close up photo of the side. The windshield has a small stone chip in it-pictured, but never expanded while we had it. The camper top popped up effortlessly this morning. There is one bad spot in the canvas at the back (see photo) the rest is in very nice usable condition. Two of the hub caps are missing, one hubcap can be seen on the floor inside. The side slider works well, and slides very easily. The other doors and rear hatch works and seals well too. I just checked the bed in the pop up and it is in excellent condition--looks like it hasn't been used. This is the Transporter model so it has seating and a table, but no kitchen. Our family of four slept in it very comfortably. As can be seen in the interior photos the seat cushions need to be recovered. It also has the VW interior curtains that came with the Vanagon (camper) model. It has the Vanagon air conditioner. I had it worked on many many times and it worked off and on, but was a constant pain--and money pit--it did not work when I last parked it. I put a new Sony CD player in and several nice speakers-one has lost its front cover--there are six speakers in total. The front dash has dried and cracked from the sun (see photo). Please feel free to ask questions if there is something I've missed, or you would like me to take another photo of a part I missed. I will reply to questions promptly. I would be happy to show it if you want to come to central Illinois to look at it. **Just to be completely clear, this VW Vanagon is presently not running or drivable. It must be hauled on a trailer. Please do not bid unless you plan to pay for it, and haul it away. It is sitting, and can remain where it is for another month or so until mid July if that helps with scheduling a pick up. I'd be happy to discuss any arrangements for picking up the van. BUT it must be paid for in full within a week of the close of the auction! I have the clear Illinois title for the van. |

VW stock delisted from Dow Jones Sustainability Index
Thu, Oct 1 2015Because of the company's years-long diesel emissions evasions, Volkswagen AG is being removed from the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices effective October 6, according to a joint statement by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and RobecoSAM. After looking at reports of the automaker's cheating software, the DJSI has decided that the company shouldn't be part of the index anymore. According to The Detroit News, the DJSI is meant to track the top 10 percent of companies that are considered leaders environmentally and socially in each industry among the 2,500 largest companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index. This de-listing means that VW is no longer considered an industry leader by this group for its economic, environmental and social performance. As of this writing, VW AG's stock price sits at 97.75 euros ($109.14), and the figure has been largely in freefall since the emissions evasions reports first surfaced. It was considered shocking on September 21 when the shares plunged almost 18 percent to end the day at 132.15 euros ($147.57). According to The Detroit News, the automaker has lost about $30.8 billion in value since the EPA put out its notice of violation on September 18.

A review of VW's standing in the DJSI was prompted by the recent revelations of manipulated emissions tests. Per the published and publicly available methodology for the DJSI, potential problematic issues relating to any DJSI component company automatically trigger a Media & Stakeholder Analysis (MSA), which examines the extent of the respective company's involvement and how it manages the issue. Following the MSA, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index Committee (DJSIC) reviews the issue and decides whether the company will remain in the index, based on DJSI Guidelines. In VW's case, the DJSIC reviewed the situation and ultimately decided to remove the Company from the DJSI World, the DJSI Europe, and all other DJSI indices. The stock will be removed after the close of trading in Frankfurt on October 5, 2015, thus making the removal effective on October 6, 2015. As a result, VW will no longer be identified as an Industry Group Leader in the "Automobiles & Components" industry group.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
