The condition of the vehicle is good condition for it being 34 years old. The bus is brown and beige. There is some discoloration of lighter brown with darker brown on parts of the bus. There is some rust, mainly around the windows and in the rear of the vehicle where you lift the hood where the engine is. The front seats need to be re-upholstered but are still stable for driving and riding in the bus. The middle seat is black because it is a newer seat from a different bus. The drivers side mirror is broken but the vehicle has a current Missouri State inspection. The bus has a new starter and battery and the tires are good, almost new. It also has an after market air filter. The bus runs and drives smoothly, however, it is not built for high speeds. It operates best at around 50-55 MPH and as with many old VW's, this bus needs a break about every hour of interstate driving at those speeds because it has a tendency to not start after the engine has been running at these speeds for more than an hour. When I drive on the interstate I give the bus a break about every hour and it takes about 15 minutes for it to rest and then starts and is ready to go again. I am not aware of any other issues with this bus and this sell will be as is.
I am not the original owner. I bought the bus in March of this year from a seller on craigslist. I do not know anything about the history of this bus prior to me buying it. I am selling it because I am in the military and found out I will be moving to Hawaii and will not be able to take this vehicle with me.
The buyer will pay though pay pal, cash in person, or a certified cashiers check. The buyer will also be responsible for moving or shipping the vehicle. It may be picked up from my address and either driven away, or towed away, or whatever means the buyer desires.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
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.
