Mount Pleasant, Michigan, United States

1993 Volkswagen Eurovan MV Weekender Edition Welcome to our auction of this Eurovan. We purchased this last fall as a weekend camping vehicle after the prior owner passed away. They did a lot of work on this which will be listed below. I have slept in it for 4 nights and it is very comfortable. The rear seat lays flat to make a queen size bed. It has custom black out panels that cover every window for sleeping and changing clothes. The table flips up for lunch and dinner and folds out of the way when not in use. We have driven this to Houston TX and back to Michigan this past January. Last year, it was driven to Yellowstone National Park. This is a nice weekend driver/camper and drives straight, stops well, and idles smoothly. We are remodeling our kitchen (cabinets are expensive) and have decided we do not need a camping vehicle as we have two daily drivers. OVER $4,171.00 Parts have been installed since 2012! The Good: Both electric windows roll up and down just fine Both electric side mirrors work (passenger mirror moves slow) All lights, turn signals, horn, flasher, etc work Newer Struts and Shocks ( Aug. 2012) Newer Steering Rack and Pinion ( Aug. 2012) Newer Upper and Lower Ball Joints ( Aug. 2012) Muffler ( Mar. 2012) Distributer and Assembly (April 2012) Rebuilt Short Block Engine, Engine block machined, new bearings, rings, seals, and gaskets (2012) at approx. 190,000 miles Timing Belt (April 2012) New Plugs, wires and distributer cap ( Feb. 2014) Sony USB Port Radio Rear Cargo Hitch/Platform. Custom black-out panels to cover all interior windows when camping. The Bad: I want to be sure you know what you are buying so I am listed every little thing that I have noticed is wrong. Mechanical: -I want to be up front with this. It has a major Transmission leak! Needs a quart of fluid every 120-150 miles. It still drives good, as I am very diligent about replacing the fluid. It leaks mostly out the front transmission seal. It is a $12 dollar part. The catch? You have to remove the entire transmission to replace it. Which is why I have not replaced it or had it replaced by a professional. -Transmission Oil Pressure Switch: This light and alarm sounds on long drives when driving at 45-55mph. The dealership and local service station has stated that the engine and transmission would immediately die if it really was out of oil pressure and because it still runs fine, it is most likely the oil pressure switch needing replacement. Again, I drove this to Houston, TX and back with it in this condition. -There is a slow coolant leak somewhere in the radiator or front hoses, I can smell it but cannot find it. Every couple weeks of driving, it lowers to the fill line and I top it off. -Heater core is not connected. The plastic tube that connects the heater core inside the cabin to the engine bay broke, so I have bypassed the heater core. It does not effect the engine, only the heat once winter comes back. This part is 127.00 but you have to take the entire dash out to get to it. Since I was only going to use as a summer camping vehicle, I did not bother replacing it. It should be replaced by next fall if you want this to be your daily driver. -Exterior: The corners of the bumpers have the typical scuffs, dents, paint issues of a vehicle this age. -Under the passenger rear window, several little rust spots starting to appear. Look at the images -Rear hatch has a small rust spot that has been primered over by previous owner about 2x3 inches -Under the driver door, a long dent and primered spot. Looks like they drove into a low standing object. -Passenger side mirror has black tape covering a cracked housing. -Radio antenna only has a base, actual antenna is missing. Still can listen to radio, just doesn't pick up if your in the middle of nowhere (I use the USB so I listen to all the songs/books on tape from my computer) Interior: -I have never figured out how the use the A/C Heater controls. When set to defroster the fans work at all speeds. When set to heat, the fans do not work (again heater core is not connected so there is no heat output). I have heard these controls have issues on the Eurovans. -Missing passenger side B- pillar interior trim. -Typical stains on carpet and seats of a vehicle of this age. -Passenger seat armrest is broken. -Passenger door auto-lock does not work. It stays locked 24-7. You have to use the key to open the door. -Parts of the black trim on the dash have been cracked and taped together. -Shifter knob has part of the rubber is missing. -Missing the 3 headrests for the rear bench seat. We live in the middle of MI, Mt. Pleasant. The closest airport is in Saginaw (MBS). We will come meet you there for free if you fly into there. For an additional $50.00 we will drive to Grand Rapids Airport (Gerald R. Ford International Airport). For 100.00, we will drive to Detroit airport (Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport) to pick you up. I also have a short video of me driving the van. My phone died as I was recording but you can see it in action. I will try to record another and put on youtube this week. I have many more images and can take additional images if you email me. If you have any questions please call 845-235-716, leave a message and I will call you back. Thanks. |

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
