1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Long Beach, California, United States
|
1987 VW Vanagon Wolfsburg edition Manual transmission Approximately 150,000 miles Clean title. Registered until April 2015. Please read online about the Wolfsburg edition as it has many options that the more basic models don’t have- including most noticeably a folding table, rear facing jump seats, power front windows and power mirrors. The bed folds out in the back and will sleep three adults – it’s wider than the Westfalia’s I’m told since the Westy’s have the side portion with the sink, stove, storage etc taking up some width. I just bought it recently – several months ago. I had planned to get it in great shape but school loans and other financial challenges have led me to sell it. It runs excellent and the transmission shifts great. I bought it from a very nice older guy in Costa Mesa who owns a shop fixing older German cars. Things I’ve bought already: Bluetooth stereo head unit - $125 from Crutchfield – installed and works great – I use my iphone wirelessly with it. Front & Rear bumpers and kit - $270 from GoWesty – my friend who’s a mechanic swapped the old ones out as they were in bad shape. Brand New tires from Lucky Tires - $360 – these are the ones with the very strong side walls that are supposed to be used for vanagons. Four speakers – two installed in rear, two for doors (not installed yet/will include in sell). Things it needs to be in great shape: The left front power window is not working – needs to be fixed. The rear lights including brake light/s are not working – I didn’t realize this until recently as I rarely drove it at night. The turn signals in the front and rear DO work. The headlights work. The air conditioning and heat iare not currently working - my friend who’s a mechanic said it may just need a charge but he didn’t have time to check for sure. The knobs and levers for the AC and heat are not installed - needs new ones- see photo. Body work and paint job. There are some small rust spots – please see pictures. And there are some dents – most are minor and not very big – except the front left of the van – see pics for all of them. The paint is in bad shape and needs to be completely done over. My friend estimated that the body work and paint will likely cost $1500. There may be other minor things in the interior that need replacing or fixing. Please look at all the photos to see the condition inside and out. The interior lights work - see photos - the one behind the sliding door comes on when open. The longer horizontal one on the opposite side above the table works when turned on. I’m not a mechanic or expert on vanagons but email me with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer. This is a solid running Wolfsburg that can be driven as-is and can be amazing if you take care of the body and paint. My reserve is very low. If you're not local, you pay any shipping fees. I am out of town for the July 4th weekend and cannot show it to locals then. |

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
