1997 Volkswagen Eurovan Camper Van Camper 3-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Leadville, Colorado, United States
I have owned this VW
Eurovan Camper for over one year. I originally purchased the van from a
photographer in Boulder while I was living in Boulder, CO. I was a weekend
warrior in the van until this past summer. I lived in the van for over 4 months
while touring national parks of the west. I had always dreamed of visiting the
splendors of the west on my own schedule and this was the perfect vehicle for
my travels. I have a lifetime of photos and memories from my trip. Fellow VW
owners and other car campers made my trip unforgettable. If you have always dreamed
on traveling in comfort and simplicity, look no further than this reliable RV.
Be prepared you are about to join an elite group of Eurovan Camper owners and
adventurers. Long conversations will ensue about travels and the joy of owning
one of these unique vehicles. I have all the original paper work and
pamphlets neatly organized in a binder with page protectors. I have documented
and saved all receipts and maintenance records. First and foremost this van is
mechanically sound. All maintenance while I owned it and the previous owner
owned it was performed by Indian Peaks Auto (303-413-1163), located at 5757
Arapahoe Ave #D1 in Boulder, CO. These guys are the VW professionals in Boulder
and they can attest to the meticulous maintenance this van has undergone. New
front brake rotors were recently installed by Young’s Ole Volks Home in Bend,
OR. New rear muffler was also recently installed. The previous owner had the vehicle lifted 2
inches and also had 16inch tires installed from the factory 15inch. If you are
doing any kind of adventures in this vehicle or any VW Eurovan Camper, I highly
recommend having this essential upgrade done. I had previously test drove a non-lifted
VW Eurovan Camper and the handling difference is night and day. I encourage you
to do your own research and determine for yourself that the lifted vehicles are
superior. Also it should be noted that the lift provides additional clearance
for the low hanging LP tank and accessories. From the carfax reports I have run, I’m
told I am the 4th owner. During my time as owner I wanted to upgrade
and replace a few things to ensure I would have worry free and comfortable
travels. I designed and installed an adjustable plexi glass organizing system
in the rear wardrobe. I installed new Pioneer speakers throughout the cabin for
a clearer and crisp music experience. I installed a new battery operated Carbon
Monoxide Detector and a new Liquid Petroleum (LP) and Carbon Monoxide detector
that is hardwired into the auxiliary battery. I also installed new heavy duty
locking pop top struts. I also installed a Yakima Roof Rack System and Thule
Ascent 1100 Cargo box for additional gear storage. I had a custom made flannel
fitted sheet for the rear bed. I also purchased a GoWesty Memory foam mattress
topper. New struts on the top above the sink were also installed. There are
custom fitted heavy duty floor mats for the driver and passenger. I took the
time to also cut and install rubber shelving mats in all of the cabinets. I have also installed a K&N air filter. As a camper this vehicle has performed
flawlessly. The LP heater works amazing and can run on & off all night,
because it is supported by an upgraded heavy duty auxiliary battery. The fridge
works great and is normally run at 2 on the scale of 1-5 for cold because of
how efficient it is. Both stove burners work and can be lit at the same time, although
the owner’s manual does not recommend this. The tables work great for eating or
working and both seats swivel around for various seating configurations. Areas of the vehicle that should be
addressed are a crack on the lower portion of the driver side windshield. This
crack has not expanded or grown from the time I have purchased the vehicle,
even with the diverse climate here in Colorado. Since the crack did not spread,
I could not justify replacing the windshield. Minor screen damage on the pop
top camper, please see photos and video. I have done my best to stitch and
repair this screen. These campers in my experience are notorious for screen
damage. Dent from previous owner in the rear hatch on the driver side, please see
photos. Minor scratches on the front of the vehicle from normal road wear.
There was previously an awning installed on the passenger side of the vehicle
that I had removed and body filled back up. Each hole was not bigger than a
dime and was properly repaired. I have taken and uploaded over 100 pictures and a video to flicker, so potential buyers can see every aspect of the vehicle. I have no problem allowing test drives for potential buyers or answering any questions. This vehicle and the trips taken in it have been a highlight of my life. I have full confidence in selling this vehicle as a mechanically sound and clean van. Please note that the bike rack & bike pictured are not included with the sale of this vehicle. |

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
