DESCRIPTION, LIST OF WHAT'S WRONG AND RIGHT, AND WHY I'M SELLING IT:

I bought this on E-Bay in December of 2009 from an individual seller in Florida. He failed to mention to me that while there was A/C, it didn't run cold air, and a few other things; so I will fully disclose here what I can, because the buyer takes this 'as is'. Since buying the van, it has mainly sat around and not been driven. When the kids were young when we first got it, my ex and I took it on a handful long road trips here in Oklahoma, and it did great. Because it has a cool pop-up table, I would drive it on the weekends and take the kids through a drive-thru and they loved to eat on the table all the way home while driving down the road. It was also good for when I had to buy a few long boards from Lowe's or get a whole bunch of groceries, because it is very long and the back seat folds down. I like the way the horn sounds, really nasally and wimpy for a big van. It got a flat tire once a few years ago and when I went to change the tire, the store pointed out that all tires were bad, so I changed all four. As it hasn't been driven much the last few years, all of the tires are almost like new. It did a thing where it was overheating a year and a half ago. It sat for about a year before I paid about three hundred for someone to fix it. The mechanic said it involved getting new hoses and tightening them really good between the engine and thermostat and the coolant system. There hasn't been any problems with the radiator. I should also note that I have never had problems with the transmission or brakes or anything else major besides fixing this overheating thing once. I have driven it enough since that occurred to know that the mechanic fixed the problem. The person from whom I bought the van had stated that the original engine had been replaced with a comparable Audi engine. I don't know anything about this other than what I was told, and that I researched it online and found that this is common. I should note that sometimes the automatic driver's window gets stuck going up and down; and I have had times when I have had to help it with my hand or go back-and-forth with the control repeatedly to get it to close properly. It depends on the day, so I usually try to avoid rolling it down unless I'm going through a drive-thru. It is probably something that could be fixed easily if it reoccurs. Also, while I believe I can hear a compressor kick on when I turn on the A/C and the fan blows very hard throughout the van, the air does not get cold. It probably just needs free-on. The heater works very well, in front and in back. There is a Kenwood CD player and AM/FM radio with a pop-up face plate, which came with the fan; it and the 4 Sony speakers sound great. Currently, the gas gauge is not working and is stuck on 'E,' but this may be temporary. Often, when it hadn't been driven for months, it would do this the first few times I drove it and then if I was driving it at least weekly would work fine, so this may just be because I haven't driven it much lately. I should also point out that I have replaced the battery twice since having it; and that if you don't drive it or at least start it regularly, it seems to be a drain on the battery. Again, I didn't hardly use it, except the last few years; it mainly sat. But in my experience, you will need to jump-start it if it sits for over a month without being started; yet, this is like most old automobiles. Loveable things about the van besides the way it looks are the pop-up table, the way 2nd row of seats face backwards (it's quite an experience to ride in an automobile facing backwards versus forwards); the many pop-up drink can holders throughout the van; and I love the way the battery is underneath the passenger seat and the engine is in the trunk, each with its own secret pull-up flat. There is nothing under the hood, because there simply is no hood; the only major part in front besides wipers and lights is the radiator which is just behind the grill. The interior and exterior are not in superb shape, but are in decent shape considering that this van is 22-years-old. Because of the Vanagon body style and box-y shape and the fact that it's the traditional 'hippie van', it seems older than that because VW made this same body style throughout the 80's; my research reveals the only major change was that in the late 80's and early 90's, they changed the lights from circular to square. If you like Danish Modern style and squarish shapes, then this is the van for you. And the great thing is that 1991 was the last year VW made the rear-engine hippie van, so one would reasonably think it would be more reliable than a Transporter or earlier Vanagon. That was what I considered when purchasing it. However, I didn't feel like it would be reliable to be a main form of transportation or fuel-efficient for commuting daily, so it was purchased for fun and recreational uses. I just didn't use it enough and don't have a use for it now. The great thing about this van is that you can find virtually any part for it on E-Bay or elsewhere online, which is amazing.

SHIPPING:

Please be advised that I am not going to ship this to you. I am not going to drive it to meet you somewhere, even if it's just ten miles from here. I am a busy person. Although I don't do so for a living, I have purchased 4 automobiles on E-Bay without a hitch from both dealers and private sellers: this van; my ex-wife's Ford Fusion; my current wheels Ford Edge; and a Scion xA. I have sold but 1, the Scion, which was an annoying experience because the person was late on picking it up and their payment after the deposit, insisted on test-driving it first, was inefficient in that it took them and their relatives 7-8 phone calls to do what should have been done in a few phone calls. Rest assured, I will cooperate with you or your shipper in placing the van in your hands and having it available. That's simple. It sits on a flat, small parking lot behind my office, Mitchell Law Office, located at 1318 W Main Street in Collinsville, OK 74021. It's there now, and that is where it will be. I have 2 keys, the original VW key and a copy. I have clear title; there are no liens on it. I have the original driver's manual in the glove compartment. Pay in full first, and then take away. The van is currently insured and should be for at least another two months, although you should get it insured yourself as soon as you purchase it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although I may not know the answer.

Porsche says it found 'irregular' software as Germany recalls diesel Cayenne

Thu, Jul 27 2017

BERLIN - German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt on Thursday announced a recall of Porsche Cayenne models equipped with 3-liter diesel engines after finding potentially illegal emissions controlling software in the vehicles. Dobrindt told reporters he was withdrawing certification for the vehicles, which will need to undergo a software update to regain legal status. Sports car maker Porsche AG is owned by Volkswagen, which in 2015 admitted to systematic manipulation of engine management software to cheat emissions tests. Porsche on Thursday said it had discovered "irregular" engine management software during an internal probe into emissions. Porsche also said it had agreed to recall the vehicles to fix the problem. "The producer will of course bear 100 percent of the costs," Dobrindt said. "There is no explanation why this software was in this vehicle." The minister said: "We have examined Porsche Cayenne vehicles of the 3 liter TDI Euro 6 Mark - during tests these vehicles deploy a so-called defense strategy, which isn't activated in real traffic." "In our view that is a kind of test recognition, which we regard as an impermissible deactivation strategy." "Even if there is a modern exhaust gas cleaning system in these vehicles, if this software is nonetheless there it is illegal, does not meet the legal requirements and needs to be removed," Dobrindt said. He also said that Porsche would quickly be in a position to bring the software into conformity with the law. Dobrindt also said there were some 7,500 vehicles of this type certified in Germany and some 22,000 certified in Europe. "We don't know how many are with dealers. These are the cars that fall under the certification ban." The Porsche Cayenne model shares components with a sister model, the Volkswagen Touareg. Asked about Volkswagen's Touareg model, Dobrindt said: "On the technical question, it is assumed that this vehicle has a similar parameter set but identical construction does not mean that the same software was used in it but it is assumed that the same software was used." He said the Transport Ministry was, however, checking that and a hearing with Volkswagen would show whether that was the case or not, adding: "The probability is high." Volkswagen CFO Frank Witter had no immediate comment about the Porsche recall on a VW earnings call also held on Thursday.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW CEO mulls battery factory, voters approve $201B in transportation funding

Mon, Nov 21 2016

Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller says that it would "make sense" for the automaker to begin producing its own batteries. As the company moves toward electrification, Muller says it would be a smart move to build a battery factory. "If more than a quarter of our cars are to be electronic vehicles in the foreseeable future then we are going to need approximately 3 million batteries a year," he says. Volkswagen has agreed to cut 30,000 jobs in its restructuring, while committing to creating 9,000 jobs in Germany through battery manufacturing and mobility services.

Earlier this month, voters in 22 states approved ballot measures adding up to $201 billion in funding for transportation projects, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. California passed 15 transportation measures, including one in Los Angeles worth $120 billion for roads, bridges, and transit. The state of Washington secured $54 billion for light rail and buses. Atlanta approved about $4 billion for road and transit projects. Illinois and New Jersey passed measures to prevent the diversion of transportation user fee revenue to other industries.

A Delaware federal judge ordered the DOE to give the documents – which concern a presentation by Fisker to the DOE in which it falsely claimed to meet milestones set forth in a government loan Â– to lawyers in a case in which investors claim Fisker lied to them about financial troubles. While the DOE has given over documents already, they were incomplete and heavily redacted. "I understand that such disclosures may have a negative impact on future DOE analyses," says US District Judge Sue Robinson. "but conclude nonetheless that under the circumstances at bar Â– the public money at stake, the Congressional hearings, and the fact that Fisker Automotive is now a defunct company Â– the balance of interests favors plaintiffs."

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.
