This 1987 VW Vanagon Westfalia is a gem. You will be hard pressed to find another one as clean and well cared-for. It has spent nearly all its life here in Arizona which accounts for it being completely rust-free. Every facet of the vehicle has been meticulously maintained inside and out and EVERYTHING works exactly the way it was designed to. The doors and hatch close quietly and effortlessly. The brand new Walker Quietflow muffler makes it purr like a kitten. Privacy tint and 360° curtains provide privacy and security. The A/C was converted to R134a May 2013. All glass is chip/crack-free and crystal clear. I am a professional detailer so you can rest assured I spared no effort nor expense in the regular maintenance as well as its preparation-for-sale of this vehicle. There are no rips, tears or snags anywhere on any cloth or vinyl surface. All of the interior trim as well as the carpets are clean and sharp. The engine and transmission are strong and healthy. I travel on the freeway at 75+ MPH without hesitation and still have 1/3 of the pedal left. The brakes are about 80% life left and the Sumitomo tires are at about 30% wear. Aside from the stereo and speakers, everything inside is original and still looks crisp and new. Outside, I have taken the finish to a completely new level of shiny. Its finish is completely swirl-free and you can count the door dings and/or tiny chips literally on one hand. All of the seals and gaskets have been revitalized and moisturized eliminating any black transfer to you or cloths as well as keeping them healthy and crack-free. The fiberglass on the pop-top has been de-oxidized and treated to protect it from the elements as well as reduce the rate of oxidation. There are no cracks in any of the trim plastic (i.e., the dash, etc) nor are there any scratches, mars, chips, etc., in any of the cabinets and panels inside.
It's never been in an accident of any kind and overall, the van looks like it was just taken out of a time capsule, it's that clean. No dents, scratches or basically anything that could/would remotely detract from its excellent condition. It comes with a clean, clear title and has a clean Carfax as well.

VW air rule violation allegations 'stunning,' $18B fine unlikely

Sat, Sep 19 2015

The big automotive news today was the US federal allegations that VW quietly and illegally installed software on approximately 482,000 diesel vehicles sold in the United States so that they would not return substandard results on government emissions tests. To say the least, this is potentially a very big deal. You can read the details of the government's allegations here. The problem seems to be with the NOx trap. Sam Abuelsamid, a former AutoblogGreen editor who is now a senior research analyst at Navigant Research's Transportation Efficiencies program, told me that there were some hints that VW's diesel emissions strategy had issues a while back. The vehicles affected by today's announcement are all equipped with the 2-liter, 4-cylinder TDI, he said. They all have the lean NOx (nitrogen oxides) trap, whereas all other current modern diesels use urea to treat NOx emissions. "When VW launched those vehicles, I went to the TDI launch program in Santa Monica and asked them if they were going to put the diesel engine into the Tiguan because that would be an ideal application," he said. "They said no, because it would be too heavy. Turns out, the NOx trap was enough to meet the emissions standards in the smaller cars, but not the Tiguan. That seems to be where the problem is, in the NOx trap. All the other big VW and Audi diesels, they use urea, just like BMW and Mercedes do." Abuelsamid added that, in California, to do an emissions test, testers don't stick a probe up the exhaust, as you would suspect. Instead, they just do a visual test to make sure nothing was tampered with and then plug a scanner into the OBD-II port to read the codes. The news today basically says that the cars were programmed to send out false codes, giving readings that testers are looking for instead of what's actually going on. "That's the background, as far as I know at this point," he said. This could be "a black eye on the auto industry." - John O'Dell Speaking at the AltCar Expo in Santa Monica just hours after the news first broke this morning, Edmunds.com's John O'Dell said the Fed's allegations were "stunning." The idea that VW might have gamed the system, he said, "underscores how important EPA clean air numbers are, that a company would allegedly stoop to this to try and meet them. Obviously, people are paying attention to that sort of thing.

VW CEO Winterkorn issues video apology for diesel scandal

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Amid rumors that he might step down from the automaker, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn has issued a video statement publicly apologizing for the company's diesel emissions scandal. The boss claims that he doesn't have the answers to all of the questions yet but promises a thorough investigation to makes things right. Multiple times in the speech, he asks forgiveness from customers all over the world and asks people not to blame all of the company's 600,000 employees for this lapse. At no point does Winterkorn mention resigning, though. You can watch the whole clip above, but it's in German, so turn on the subtitles. However, Winterkorn's future with VW isn't assured, and works council boss Bernd Osterloh appears ready to make some changes. "I can assure you that we will do everything possible in the supervisory board meetings this week to ensure the matter is cleared up quickly and that personnel consequences are drawn. And that will not just affect the rank and file, I can assure you," he said in a letter to Bild, according to Reuters. Earlier today, the automaker admitted that the same engine management software is in vehicles from other VW group brands, but it claims that the Type EA 189 engine is the only one with a deviation between test results and real-world numbers. That mill is installed in 11 million vehicles across the globe. As a start, VW is earmarking 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion at current rates) to service them. The actual costs could go much higher, though.
