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***

Even 'basic' girls are tired of their cheating VW Jettas

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Well, this didn't take long. Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn's office probably hasn't even been packed yet, and the jokes about his scandal-ridden former employer have already begun to fly. Today, we'll be featuring the team from Funny Or Die, which has opted to not only skewer Volkswagen for its TDIsaster, but one of the victims of the company's catastrophe – the 'basic' girl. For those not in the know, "basic," according to Urban Dictionary is an adjective reserved for someone "devoid of defining characteristics that might make a person interesting, extraordinary, or just simply worth devoting time or attention to," and that they are "lacking intelligence and unable to socialize on even an elementary level." And when it comes to basic girls, the Volkswagen Jetta is as ubiquitous as a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. But with the VW controversy, basic girls are finding their Jettas aren't so good for their green credentials. So check out Funny Or Die's take on these scorned drivers, in the video above. And fair warning, there's a bit of foul language.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
