1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper on 2040-cars
Cambridge, Maryland, United States
This is my 1973 VW Westy. After selling my '72 VW Sportsmobile I found this lovely bus up for sale. I have used this as my daily and has been on some cross country adventures from east coast to the west, up until its final run. One the way back from a visit to Texas as we were coming home we lost just about all the compression. We took it to our mechanic immediately, and have always taken it to him if there was ever a problem. All work tickets have been kept while the bus was in our hands. After he had gone through and tried everything he came to the conclusion of the engine and carb need a rebuild or need to be replace owners choice.
After taken into thought of how much I travel and need more reliable/stronger engine for those long drive we decided to part with the bus and move into a 90s VW Camper. So as much as I love looking out as seeing the beautiful bus in the backyard we need to let it go. I have kept up on all the mechanics up until its last adventure and have all work tickets available for you. There is rust in some spots as is most old cars from the east coast. The history of this bus was it was originally bought in Colorado and eneded up sometime in Pennsylvania when the previous owner found it. I came upon the bus on a back road of Delaware and its been with me ever since. The interior is very nice that’s what really caught my attention as some of these buses inside are pretty bare when you find them or in really rough shape. Other than the last engine issue i never had any serious problems with the bus while on any drive. The only thing i have added to the westy has been stickers, and wrapped most of the interior with hemp due to my company name Hemp Wrapped Bus. if you have any questions please feel free to contact me by email. *BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK-UP *ALL DEPOSIT'S ARE NON-REFUNDABLE *CAR IS SOLD AS IS WERE IS |

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
