2003 Eurovan MV. Enthusiast owned, in perfect mechanical condition, with 110,091 miles. I purchased this van in 2008 shortly after it had come off lease at about 85,000 miles. Since I have owned it, I have maintained it religiously, with all fluid and filter changes exceeding VW recommendations. That includes engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, oil, air, cabin, and fuel filters. Transmission shifts smoothly and I've changed the ATF fluid and filter twice. Engine is perfect and all spark plugs were replaced. I replaced the water pump and serpentine belt as a preventative measure. The AC system received an overhaul with new compressor, expansion valves, and drier/filter. AC is ice cold and heat is blazing.
Bilstein shocks were put on the front and back. Rear tires are between 7/32 and 8/32 (70% to 80%) and front tires are at 6/32 or 60%. A Class 2 hitch was added only for carrying bicycles (never towed anything).
The van has plush LLoyd Mats in the front and rear passenger area. These mats look great and have excellent coverage, giving the van the feel of having new carpet.
Modifications include a Blaupunkt in-dash DVD Stereo that is wired to a custom mounted 20" LCD TV in the back. This mount is easily removable with the twist of a pipe connection. This is a rare non-weekender MV that contains an auxiliary battery. I had an auto electric shop make a custom wiring harness models after the German Weekender wiring harness. A high capacity auxiliary battery is installed under the drivers seat, with a custom fuse panel and new power leads at the rear of the seat. One of these leads provides power to the TV and the other provides an outlet for a refrigerator or other accessory. The TV outlet has an voltage regulator installed in-line. I've modded the electrical system so that all of the rear lights and outlets run off of the auxiliary battery and I've added a aux battery volt meter to the dash.
A 120V GFCI outlet has been installed in the cabin area, with an extension cord that is accessed from a faux foglight at the rear of the van. This is great for camping at site with electrical power connections and allows the use of 120v appliances in the cabin.
I've been using a Waeco Coolfreeze 35 quart refrigerator. This refrigerator is super efficient and runs for days off the auxiliary battery. I've attached a custom harness/hold down and anti-theft cable lock. I'm not inclined to sell this $$$ refrigerator as I can use it with my other Eurovan, but will include it with a full price offer only.
The van runs like new. The ONLY reason I am selling is because I just purchased a Weekender EV with poptop. I have two kids and we had been tent camping with this van. In fact, the bed has never been slept in. The van has almost all highway miles as we typically drove it on weekends to camp out of state.
The alternator was recently rebuilt and the van has a brand new starting battery.
Bonus items included with this sale include a full set of curtains that have never been used, a TomTom Go navigation device with power cord, and a radar detector (just because I have extras and don't need these). More photos can be sent via email.
The van is located 5 minutes from historic downtown Charleston, SC and surrounding beaches. Take a nice vacation and come get the van of your dreams.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
