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.

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This 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.
