161,xxx on van Engine is Rebuilt with 1600 miles on it.

The BAD!!!: I believe in full disclosure. These are the things that I am aware of:

It is a 21 year old VW Vanagon. It is in great shape and mechanically sound, but it is 21 years old. All Vanagons need love and maintenance to keep them in this type of condition. It is not a project by any means. It is a 21 year old vehicle that will give you tons of miles and fun, if maintained properly.

It has some surface rust on the undercarriage and on the bottom of the drivers door. No seam rust, it was repaired by the previous owner when it was repainted the original color.

A/C is installed and complete. It needs a belt to check to see if it works. Assume it is all there, but inoperable.

As stated above, the paint has some small nicks in the paint and the front bumper has two cracks. I have a replacement bumper to go with it, just needs paint and mounting.

The steering is a little lose, I suspect the control arm bushings and/or ball joints. Not bad, and they don't need replaced yet, but soon.

The gas tank needs the crossover tube resealed. Cheap fix, just haven't had the time.

Please, email me any questions or for more details. Do your due diligence and know what you are buying. The van is listed locally and I may end the auction at any time due to local sale or trade.

 

$500 Non-refundable down payment is due within 24 hours. Full payment in due in 5 days from end of auction, if using paypal a 4% fee will be added. After five days the van will be relisted and down payment forfeited. Van can stay on my property for 14 days from the end of the auction. I can provide some assistance working with shippers.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

VW sets aside $7.3B war chest for diesel scandal fallout

Tue, Sep 22 2015

The crisis enveloping Volkswagen AG, the world's top-selling carmaker, escalated Tuesday as the company issued a profit warning following a stunning admission that some 11 million of its diesel vehicles worldwide were fitted with software at the center of a US emissions scandal. The German company said it was setting aside around 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion) to cover the fallout from the scandal that has tarnished VW's reputation, raised questions over the future of CEO Martin Winterkorn and battered its share price. The reputational damage to Volkswagen is implicit in the market's response. Volkswagen's share price slid a further 16.2 percent Tuesday to a near four-year low of 112 euros. The fall comes on top of Monday's 17 percent decline. The shockwaves from the scandal enveloping Volkswagen were being felt far and wide across the sector as traders wondered who else may get embroiled. Germany's Daimler AG, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, was down 6.5 percent, while BMW AG fell 5.4 percent. France's Renault SA was seven percent lower. The scandal is hugely damaging to a business that relies heavily on a hard-won reputation for quality and trustworthiness. "Brands are all about trust and it takes years and years to develop. But in the space of 24 hours, Volkswagen has gone from one people could trust to one people don't know what to think of," said Nigel Currie, an independent UK-based sponsorship and branding consultant. The trigger to the company's market woes was last Friday's revelation from the US's Environmental Protection Agency that VW rigged nearly half a million cars to defeat US smog tests. The company then admitted that it intentionally installed software programmed to switch engines to a cleaner mode during official emissions testing. The software then switches off again, enabling cars to drive more powerfully on the road while emitting as much as 40 times the legal pollution limit. "We have totally screwed up." - Michael Horn "In my German words: we have totally screwed up," the head of Volkswagen's US division, Michael Horn, told an audience in New York on Monday. In its statement Tuesday, Volkswagen gave more details, admitting that there were "discrepancies" related to vehicles with Type EA 189 engines and involving some 11 million vehicles worldwide. The number of vehicles involved is more than the 10 million or so cars it sold in 2014.
