Grove City, Ohio, United States

 1985 VW Vanagon GL (Wolfsburg Edition), all original, rust free Southern truck.  Truck was sold new in Greenville, SC and never left the area until I bought it-always garaged.  I am 4th owner.  Vehicle comes with original owner's manual, service manual, factory repair manual and almost all repair records from day 1.

NEW SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT: 6 ply tires (6 ply tires are a safety requirement for a Vanagon), front CV boots, shift linkage CV boot, major tune-up with all fluids replaced, radio w/ 6 speakers, tinted windows, canoe/bike rack, custom storage/glove boxes (removable is desired), bug bra, front seat covers, 3/4" red oak hardwood floors, gauges (Volt meter is only gauge hooked up-others are installed, but not hooked up).

NEW WITHIN LAST 5000 MILES: rotors, wheel bearing, axle seals, brake pads, master cylinder, shocks, water pump, steering rack, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, fly wheel, S&S Porsche header/cat. converter. (receipts for all items).

INTERIOR:  Excellent condition-no stains or tears, headliner is tight with no tears or stains

EXTERIOR: 100% original paint, some small dents, scratches, but shines.  All windows work as designed, no leaks  

4th owner (all owners verified), rust free.  Comes with about $500 of extra parts, including newer muffler/cat. converter, glove box, heater cover, rubber parts, brake pads, etc.  I didn't like the carpet so I replaced with 3/4" red oak hardwood flooring.  Back seat folds down into a 5'x6' bed-I have the mattress, side curtains.

3 small dents (see photos-bug bra conceals them),and typical window rubber rust in 4 places (see photos).  Front heater does not work (switch does), but rear heater will burn you out.  Odometer quit working (typical for Vanagons) so I installed an hour meter. 

This vehicle drives better than new-fly in, drive it home.  If you want to ship it, I will assist loading.  I can recommend Jim @ 920-342-8060 (JLL Services), covered trailer.  No surprises here.  I have owned 3 Vanagons, and driven dozens more, this is by far the best I've ever seen/driven.

No Pay-Pal- bank check or cash only.  If you have less than 100% feedback or less than 5 purchases, call before bidding or I will delete your bid.  No warranties expressed and/or implied.  Vehicle is for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel bids and end auction at anytime. Ask questions-I will answer and post all answers-there's nothing to hide here.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
