This is a 1990 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat. This is a pretty hard to find model. 2.1L rebuilt watercooled engine with an automatic transmission. The engine needs a little fine tuning but runs well enough to drive anywhere. The transmission operates flawlessly, and the van is a very smooth, comfortable ride. The Engine - - Crank turned - Brand new pistons, rings, wristpins, bearings, and sleeves - Brand new rods and bearings - Every gasket replaced - Newish alternator - All fuel lines and most coolant hoses replaced - Head pitting repaired - New exhaust valves - Various other new parts I forgot to mention The engine does have one oil leak, at the oil pump...I believe I forgot to put the gasket on. Stupid mistake, especially considering I took my time with getting every other detail right. Doesn't leak much and is perfectly driveable but still annoying. - Van has 4 new Kuhmo tires. I have had this van a couple of years, but after rebuilding it I have decided to move to Louisville and can't take the van with me. I finished the rebuild in the beginning of June 2013, so obviously I haven't put many miles on it since. I did drive it to Bonnaroo which is about 300 miles for me round trip. The only trouble I had was a blow out (hence the new tires.) Everything this van needs besides the oil leak and a little fine tuning is cosmetic. Mechanically, this thing is super solid. The body doesn't have any rust on it, but there are dents and dings and some damage on the passenger side as shown in the pictures. The clear coat is peeling in places but overall it cleans up pretty well. The interior could use a carpet cleaning, the rug in the picture is just an area rug I laid in there. The carpet is dirty, I took a picture of the worst place. The seats are not torn up or burned and are in good shape, back seat folds into a bed and middle seats are removable. The drivers side door panel is messed up (see picture) but it doesn't really bother me so I never fixed it. I have the missing piece of plastic for the steering column, forgot to put it on for the picture. The radio will not go with the van. I still have the original curtains, all in good shape. Both mats are still in the back, and the back carpet piece. The mats need to be cleaned but the covers appear to come off so they can be machine washed. Everything works inside except one little dome light in the back, and the drivers side window. Its equipped with cruise but is missing the vacuum piece for the engine, mine was trash and I didn't replace it. Also, the van does have A/C and it did work before the rebuild. I haven't put any Freon in it or put a belt on it since, because I honestly just didn't want to spend the money to fill it because I don't really care about A/C. This van is a solid vehicle. It could use a little love, or just drive it like it is if you don't mind a little ugly. All the overly difficult German engineered and highly expensive work has been done, and it pains me to get rid of this thing right at the end...c'est la vie I suppose. I want to make it clear that it is not perfect. It needs to be cleaned, it needs odd and end interior work. If you want a nice machine and don't mind the cosmetic issues, this is for you. If you want a perfect van, you probably need to look elsewhere. My phone number is 270-978-2164, call or text with any questions you may have, or feel free to email or ebay message. I want to be as clear as possible to avoid having to list this again...I've got even more pictures if you need them. Thank you!
