Bus condition is good. Bus is running well. Has been a daily driver for years. Engine in good shape. Body is in good condition overall, there is a dent on the back left corner panel, and a small dent on the bottom of the slider door. There is rust, mostly in underbody and in floorboards (under mats in the front, and along the edges of the floor at the sliding door), but only in small spots on the rest of the body. No back bumper. I have the driver-side side mirror, it is not currently attached. Interior could use some work, the upholstery is torn is several places, both on the seats and the ceiling. Tiny crack in glass on windshield. Only front seats have working seatbelts, but the backseat does have the attachments for seatbelts. Tires in good condition (does not come with the spare tire seen in picture).
CD player and decent speakers, back seat folds down into a double bed and table pops up and down as needed. Has been a wonderful van for camping, vacations, and scooting around town over the years.
I've had the bus since 2009 and the owners before me had it for over 10 years. We painted it from lime green to the current turquoise and had some body work done to it. There is some bondo and fiberglass on the back corner panels. Has been a daily driver and well maintained by myself and the previous owners. Bus comes with maintenance records and receipts for over the past decade. Also comes with an engine manual. I am leaving the country, otherwise would not be selling it!
I require a deposit within 48 hours of auction close, through PayPal. Bus must be picked up and full payment received within 7 days of auction close.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
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 budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
