I am selling my dream van. I am the 3rd owner of this 1989. I bought it from my friend in the summer of 2002. He had it about 4 years. It has been a good vehicle and a better friend. My wife is in her master's degree and it really has to go.
Goods: The entire drive train. I had this engine rebuilt in August of 2008 and it has never been seriously driven since. I drive it to Sonic with my kids on Sunday. I camped in it once this year. It has been a commuter when my other car is in the shop or will not start. The rebuild in 08 included: a fuse panel all the exhaust a/c receiver/dryer main, thrust, rod, cam, and gasket sets exhaust valves oil and water pump, new backdoor hydraulics spark plugs thermostat intake hoses muffler brake shoes filters, belts radiator flush speedometer lug wrench replacement missing wheel centers The work was done by a local guru who spent his life as a VW tech and retired. He has a collection of vans he pulls from, so many of the parts were from those. The labor and the parts were over $4,000 then. Since 2008 I have replaced the tires, gas pedal wire to the engine. Once the OEM unit went bad and the van wouldn't respond to a thing. I replaced the load-bearing ICs in the unit and it works great. I replaced the starter and modified the hot wire connection to a better, less ridiculously German one. The transmission was rebuilt before the engine around 05 or 06. It has been perfect ever since. I bought new tires in 08 and they look good still. The tread looks really good. You can see how little I've driven on those tires. The new speedometer had around 149,000 on it when I got it back. Thats 15,000 miles in 6 years! The interior is clean and in good condition. The power windows work fine on the front. The power mirrors do too. It looks like a van that has been used and cared for for 25 years. I have the engine rebuild receipts, the owners manual, the lug wrench, jack, fire extenguisher, cig lighter, and headrests. Table works, back gate still works. He also fixed an issue where the brake shoes wear out quickly on the 89s and 90s. The bads: Some of the small electronics. The locks on these vans don't work if there is a short in a cable, and I've never had time to trace it down. The locks do not work. The CD player was stolen last year because of that. The horn and the cruise control slowly faded away in the first years I owned it. The front heater fan doesn't work, but the fan in the back does and front still blows while you are moving. The AC worked in 08 and 09, but then fizzled. The tech that did the work said he re-fills his ac at least once a year to keep it cold. No guarantees, but it should just need a recharging. The reverse lights do not work. They were staying on all the time and I got a ticket for it, the tech couldn't figure it out, so we separated the leads from the fixture. There is one rip in the back passenger bench. Finally, the front window is chipped and when I went to the glass place to get it repaired, they just broke it further. This is a super solid van. We just spend our rent on a master's degree payment, so this has to go. I will try to answer all your questions the best I can. You will need to pick the van up in Chattanooga TN. I will not meet elsewhere. It already has a Moog Music and APPLE sticker, so you won't have to worry about those. |

Piech and Winterkorn still at odds about VW leadership plan
Wed, Apr 15 2015Volkswagen Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech (above, right) and CEO Martin Winterkorn (above, left) will be meeting in the coming days to discuss who the next leader of the Volkswagen Group will be. This, of course, comes after a report last Friday in Der Spiegel where Piech said he didn't want Winterkorn to be the automaker's next chairman. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of that conference room. As Automotive News reports, Winterkorn had been widely viewed as the probable replacement for the 77-year-old Piech, until last week, when the current chairman said he was keeping the CEO "at a distance," in the German paper. While Winterkorn confirmed to German media on Monday that he still had a job, analysts aren't sure what Piech's comments will mean for the 67-year-old CEO's future, with some indicating he may end up being a "lame duck" leader. According to AN, Piech doesn't think that Winterkorn has the vision to lead the sprawling Volkswagen Group empire, even though the current CEO has the support of a number of other VAG stakeholders. "Piech knows what he is doing and will assume that he can get the supervisory board to implement his decisions," former BMW executive turned analyst Helmut Becker told German media, AN reports. Winterkorn has just over 18 months left on his contract, while Piech's term has another two years left on it, meaning it will still be some time before we find out how the Volkswagen Group's leadership issues play out.

The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding.

But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
