It's time to sell our beloved 1997 Eurovan camper.
She's in good shape and she's got a lot of life left in her, but we just don't use her enough.

The camper is in great shape mechanically, but is only in fair shape cosmetically.

We've got a video up here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU6KSVIDOlo

We've also got a huge photo album up here:  http://imgur.com/a/hUOAc

Below is everything we know that's wrong with the van.
We've tried to take pictures or video of all the described issues.
  • Small rust spot on driver's side door sill
  • Driver's side power mirror works, but is sluggish
  • The exterior vent covers and AC adapter cover is missing and/or damaged
  • There are dents in the rear door from a small fender bender
  • The hyrdraulic arms for the pop top are worn, and won't hold the popup erect (we are including a tennis racket that does the job well)
  • The inside cover of the sliding door is damaged and peeling off
  • There's a small tear in the misquito netting of one of the poptop windows
  • The poptop canvas is a bit moldy
  • The deep cycle camper battery needs to be replaced (not the primary vehicle battery)
  • The gear selector cover is cracking up
  • The driver's side rear light / blinker assembly is cracked (but works fine)
  • Two of the tires are pretty old, but probably will last you for a bit
Other than these issues, the camper is in good shape.
If you are at all familiar with Volkswagen Eurovan campers, then you know that they often go for $20,000 or more.
This is a chance to grab one for a lot less because of some small easily serviceable issues.

That being said, this is a used 16 year old vehicle.
We'd be happy to show it to you in person, if you are nearby.
We are also happy to answer any questions you have.

The following is included with the sale:
  • Tennis racket (aka auxillary popup stand)
  • Air conditioner and AC bench to hang off passenger window
  • Oil filter and air filter
  • Tempurpedic mattress cover
  • Various tarps
  • Eurovan camper manual

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow

Mon, Apr 17 2023

The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
