Subject: '84 TIICO westy for sale on ebay
Hi everyone,
I am selling my '84 westy - I guess coming close to
turning 40, plus pressure from my spouse, convinced me
to take the plunge and by a 2002 weekender.
It is item 1824104150 - here is the description as it
appears on ebay:
Vanagon Westfalia w/ 2.0 2000 VW Golf Engine!
Vehicle Description
Here is a '84 VW Vanagon Westfalia Wolfsburg Edition
Camper in excellent condition for sale with an added
bonus - a TIICO (see http://www.tiico.com/prod04.htm for
more information) genuine 2000 2.0 liter Golf engine
with Motronic fuel injection with only 15,000 miles. No
more leaky gaskets, and you will be able to smile at
other Vanagon owners as you pass them at 70 MPH going up
mountains with 118 hp @ 4800 rpm / 132 ft/lb. torque @
3500 rpm!! I am the third owner, having acquired the van
in 1993 when it had 109,537 miles on it, and all of the
owners (first owner a doctor with family, second owners
a retired couple) have lived in the rust free state of
North Carolina. With the exception of the last six
months when it has been called into duty as a daily
driver to and from work, virtually all of the traveling
has been on highway trips since I bought it in 1993 -
from NC to MA every summer, and to the mountains and
coast of NC the rest of the year. The camper has been
well maintained by 2 great VW mechanics, both of who
drive a Vanagon or a Vanagon Westfalia. Since the engine
conversion was completed in August of 2000, I have added
a new muffler, a cat converter and brackets, a new
alternator, an AC compressor, a new fuel pressure
regulator, and a Class three trailer hitch with 2"
receiver made by Dennis Haynes (see vendors on
www.vanagon.com - recommended weight of 2000 pounds with
a maximum tongue weight of 150 pounds). The new engine
runs great, and the automatic transmission does also,
especially after being rebuilt in 2001. I have the
transmission fluid & filter, non-phos. anti-freeze,
changed every two years, and the synthetic engine oil
changed 3 times a year. This Vanagon has factory A/C
(needs work - see below), P/S, PW Brakes, a Kenwood
AM/FM/Cassette Stereo with 6 CD changer, fridge operates
in all three modes, water pump and facet, locking gas
cap, all works nicely. This Van also comes with a number
of extras, including a easy to put on and remove awning,
a Bentley manual, a matching factory 5th seat that
oscillates 360 degrees and a two seat bench that allows
the van to seat 6 people comfortably. The 5th seat
allows full access to refrigerator and sink cabinet and
is awesome! If you have any other questions or would
like to see some additional pictures, feel free to email
me.
Vehicle Condition
The vehicle is in excellent condition for its age. The
three items that I am aware of that need repair are
listed below: - battery still works but nearing the end
of its useful life. The van is equipped for a second
battery (under the drivers seat but it is currently not
being used); - right rear bumper cap is taped on, needs
replacing ($9.95 on www.busdepot.com); - AC needs
repair - compressor is only a year old, but blower motor
needs replacement - it currently shorts out at anything
greater than 1st speed on ac control. I am not aware of
anything else that is wrong, and any interested buyers
in the area are welcome to come take it out for a test
drive, take it for an inspection, etc.
Terms of Sale
I only except cashiers checks or money orders. I want
50% down within 7 days of the auction closing and the
rest no later than 14 days. I can arrange to store this
vehicle for you till you can come and pickup at no
charge, but I will need to be paid in full before I do
this. I would prefer that you come and pickup - I will
be more than happy to pick you up from the airport
(Piedmont Triad International is only 5 miles from
house). I don't think you want a moving company to
damage it during shipping. If you have any other
questions, please ask them before bidding. Please don't
bid if you do not plan on following thru with your bid -
I give negative feedback to dead beats. Thanks for
looking and good luck
I hope it goes to a good buyer - myself and my family
have really enjoyed it.
