Grove City, Ohio, United States

 1985 VW Vanagon GL (Wolfsburg Edition), all original, rust free Southern truck.  Truck was sold new in Greenville, SC and never left the area until I bought it-always garaged.  I am 4th owner.  Vehicle comes with original owner's manual, service manual, factory repair manual and almost all repair records from day 1.

NEW SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT: 6 ply tires (6 ply tires are a safety requirement for a Vanagon), front CV boots, shift linkage CV boot, major tune-up with all fluids replaced, radio w/ 6 speakers, tinted windows, canoe/bike rack, custom storage/glove boxes (removable is desired), bug bra, front seat covers, 3/4" red oak hardwood floors, gauges (Volt meter is only gauge hooked up-others are installed, but not hooked up).

NEW WITHIN LAST 5000 MILES: rotors, wheel bearing, axle seals, brake pads, master cylinder, shocks, water pump, steering rack, clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, fly wheel, S&S Porsche header/cat. converter. (receipts for all items).

INTERIOR:  Excellent condition-no stains or tears, headliner is tight with no tears or stains

EXTERIOR: 100% original paint, some small dents, scratches, but shines.  All windows work as designed, no leaks  

4th owner (all owners verified), rust free.  Comes with about $500 of extra parts, including newer muffler/cat. converter, glove box, heater cover, rubber parts, brake pads, etc.  I didn't like the carpet so I replaced with 3/4" red oak hardwood flooring.  Back seat folds down into a 5'x6' bed-I have the mattress, side curtains.

3 small dents (see photos-bug bra conceals them),and typical window rubber rust in 4 places (see photos).  Front heater does not work (switch does), but rear heater will burn you out.  Odometer quit working (typical for Vanagons) so I installed an hour meter. 

This vehicle drives better than new-fly in, drive it home.  If you want to ship it, I will assist loading.  I can recommend Jim @ 920-342-8060 (JLL Services), covered trailer.  No surprises here.  I have owned 3 Vanagons, and driven dozens more, this is by far the best I've ever seen/driven.

No Pay-Pal- bank check or cash only.  If you have less than 100% feedback or less than 5 purchases, call before bidding or I will delete your bid.  No warranties expressed and/or implied.  Vehicle is for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel bids and end auction at anytime. Ask questions-I will answer and post all answers-there's nothing to hide here.

VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines

Sun, 16 Feb 2014

The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
