1999 Volkswagen Vw Eurovan Weekender Vr6 Engine on 2040-cars
Roanoke, Virginia, United States
|
We have decided to sell our 1999 VW Eurovan Weekender van. We bought it last year and liked it so much that we decided to purchase a full camper version. We were told that the van was a one owner and owned by the man that owned the VW dealership where we bought it, so I would imagine that it was well maintained. The Weekender package includes a fold down rear bench seat (big bed), full set of window curtains (never used), fold up table with a fluorescent light, and reverse facing captain chairs. The van has the digital CLIMAtronic dual zone front/rear heat and A/C, the original Premium stereo cassette player, power windows and locks, automatic transmission, cruise control, and rear opening (sliding) windows. It has a class III trailer hitch installed (which was used for a bike carrier, therefore there is no wiring for trailer lights but could be added) and a never used full size spare tire. The engine is the VR6, which delivers plenty of power while yielding good gas milage. The transmission functions flawlessly in all gears. The interior is in good shape, there are no tears on any of the seats, just regular wear. The carpet has a worn spot just inside the sliding door that we duct taped (see the photos). The body is in good shape, never wrecked and no dents to speak of, however the roof and hood are loosing the clear coat (you can see this pealing off in the photos). The check engine light has been on during our entire ownership, don't know why, never took the time to check it out. At highway speeds it has a faint shimmy, so I took it in to have an alignment, they said the alignment was good but that the front tires were "out-of-round". A set of new front tires will solve it, buy all four tires have loads of tread left, so we didn't worry about it. I have tried to cover all the good and bad as best I can, however I encourage anyone interested in it to call me with any questions 540-598-8331. I would also encourage everyone to come see it in person if possible. This is a used car not a new one, so it is sold with no warrantee expressed or implied. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this van anywhere, so if you'd like to fly in and drive it home I will happily meet you at the airport, Or I will drop it off at any local Roanoke Virginia shipping depot at no charge. Thanks for looking.
***I was adjusting the rear view mirror yesterday and managed to grip it too hard and snapped the windshield, so now it comes with a cracked windshield*** |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
