Vw 1985 Westfalia Vanagon Camper on 2040-cars
Florence, South Carolina, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1985 VW Westfalia full camper. This is a re-listing.
This van is a clean running, good looking vehicle. It is almost a rust free vehicle. The undercarriage shows no rust damage and the exterior is exceptional for its age. As far as I know, it is the original paint job. The interior is clean and has all the original parts. Just look at the pictures. I had 2 different garages look at the vehicle and they were both impressed with the van. This van has a rebuilt 2L GoWesty engine with less than 6000 miles on it($6000) and recently tuned. It has a recently installed Bilstein shocks in the rear. There were a number of people that asked to see the van in person when I initially listed it but the van was at the garage so I stopped the auction to give those who wanted to see it a chance to look at it. I wanted the person who wins the auction to be happy so I decided to do addition work on it. This is what was done to the van in the last few weeks: -Cooling system diagnosed- thermo switch replaced for cooling fan, complete cooling system flushed, pressure tested for leaks, inspected belts, hoses and test radiator cap. -Checked starter circuit, replaced starter assembly -Brand new NAPA battery installed -Pop top roof was removed and cleaned -New GoWesty design tent was installed -Set of new Yokohama tires installed (P215/65R15) to existing If you want a better Vanagon, go check out the ones in GoWesty.com. You'll suffer from "sticker shock." My van is not the same as GoWesty's but it's in pretty good condition and it's one of the best I've seen in the east coast. I bought extra parts that will be included in the auction: oil filters, curtain hooks, fuses, stickers, repair manual, and some other misc. items. I put full rubber floor mats to protect the floor. This van is sold "as is' and no warranty. This vehicle is 29 years old and I took care of it the last 3 years(replaced broken or missing pieces). It is not perfect and you should not expect it to be. Personal inspection of the vehicle is encouraged. Bring your mechanic! Serious bidders only! Good luck bidding. On Jun-03-14 at 15:07:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Please do not email about reserve price. Keep bidding and you'll know when it meets the reserve price. One of the picture has the wrong tire size. It's correct in the main description. P215/65/R15. |

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
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.
