 You are bidding on a 1999 full EuroVan Winnebago camper in a No Reserve auction. It has below average miles (104,246) and is in good condition. We have owned it for 9 1/2 years, and both we and the previous owner have always garaged it. It has been driven very little in the winter, and has lived its life in Colorado (minimal salt on roads). It has worked well on the 4 long trips we have taken it on, but haven't used it as much as we expected in terms of shorter or weekend trips, and have only put 54,000 miles on it during our ownership. Under normal mostly highway conditions, we get about 20 miles per gallon;  on this summer's trip to Alaska with a fairly heavy load including a 17' kayak acting as a sail going into the wind, we averaged 19.6 mpg. This is about the size of a Dodge Caravan extended minivan, so unlike larger campers, it can be easily driven in the city and parked in a normal parking space. While we have never done so, it could be used as a daily driver in addition to a camper.

Features:
Pop-up camper with beds up and down, so it sleeps a cozy 4.
Optional middle bench seat that has never been used to increase seating capacity to 6.
Propane furnace.
Refrigerator running on cabin battery, plug in, or propane.
Two burner propane stove, Sink
CD Player (2007)
Yakima rack on top for bikes or kayaks (those attachments not included). There is also a bike rack that goes on the rear tailgate that we got from the previous owner that we have never used that we are happy to toss in.
A second newer mounted spare tire in almost new condition. Also, a pair of never used tire chains (cables).
Brand new windshield.
It has a cream colored clear bra on the front (see picture).
Captains chairs in front swivel 180 deg to use as seats in cabin. Two tables that collapse and are stowed between drivers seat and frig.

The car is in good condition. There are minor scrapes on the passenger side of the front bumper and center of the rear bumper (see last two pictures for detail), and there are half a dozen minor chips in the paint above the clear bra on the front or on the side - typical for a car of 100,000 miles in good but not pristine condition. There are a couple of minor scrapes on top of the roof that don't really show (as a result of not taking the kayak off cleanly). The tires are fair (24,500 miles). When my mechanic checked the car out before this summer's Alaska trip, he said that the brakes had about half of their life left. The engine battery was new in January and the cabin battery new in June. It has a fresh oil change and is ready for another Alaska trip.

Note: A few of the pictures showing the interior show apparent dots or splotches that aren't real - the flash caught rain drops. After waiting for the rain to stop for 2 1/2 days, a rarity in Colorado, I gave up so the pix aren't quite up to snuff.

If you have any questions, please use the Ask a Question link or call Bill @ 303-809-6763. Please ask questions before bidding. Your bid is a legally binding contract. You or your representative are welcome (and encouraged) to inspect the car before bidding. I am in the Denver area. The $500 deposit should be by PayPal or overnight check within two days. The balance should be by certified check within 7 days. Bank transfers are not acceptable due to issues with scammers. Please plan on picking up the vehicle or arranging shipping within 20 days.

For those not familiar with EBay policies, the Buy It Now price of $22,500 will disappear shortly after bidding starts - it is not indefinitely available on a no reserve auction. (The last car I sold on EBay had the Buy It Now price go away after bidding started, and a bidder was unhappy that the final bid price was above the original Buy It Now price.) If you want to lock in the Buy It Now price, don't wait. In recent months, most of the EBay listed Eurovan campers of similar mileage and age have had asking prices of $31-41,000, or have had a lot more miles on them.

If you have less than 3 feedback responses or negative feedback, call me before bidding, or I will cancel your bid. Having had 4 scammers trying to mess up the auction the last time I sold a car on EBay, it isn't worth the headaches of dealing with unidentified no feedback bidders. Scammers, don't even bother trying to mess with the auction - you won't get the bank account information you want from me under any circumstances.

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
