West Coast Vw Bus, Transporter. Very Little Rust. Drive It Home on 2040-cars
Scottsville, Virginia, United States
|
I bought this bus 11 years ago in Eugene Oregon. I used it as my daily driver for about 4 years. I moved to Virginia about 4 years ago and drove it cross country. Since buying a new car in Virginia the bus has mostly sat. I got the car with 70,000 miles and it didn't run. I had the engine rebuilt and Transmission replaced. It has run ever since. The car has 97,000 miles now. I just put in a new battery, exhaust, fuel filter, and air filters. Car started right up and runs good. I'm sure with a quick tune up it would run even better. All lights and blinkers work. You could drive this home today. The car has surface rust but the underside of the car is great. Before I got the car it had a undercoating put on. That is peeling off now but the factory paint is underneath and looks really good. No welding needed. I had the spare tire mounted on the front for more room in the back. I just had the front seats done. They look brand new. I also bought a rear seat folding mechanism that I was going to install when I did the rear seat. It folds like the older camper beds do. You are welcome to it with the bus. Brakes and tires are good. People tell me the transmission I have is real nice. I'm not sure why but they use them on dune buggies. Second gear goes in at what I think is a funny angle but no grinding feels strong. Cruises on the freeway no problem. I'm selling the bus because I'm moving back to Portland Or and thought it would be nice to leave this clean west coast bus on the east coast for a loving new owner. This car has been to a lot of concerts and cool places around the US. I hope a new owner will have as much fun in it as I have. I don't want to deliver the car but I will consider if it's near by. I have the right to end auction at anytime. It is for sale locally as well. Feel free to ask any Questions.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen 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.
