I have to advise you to get the vehicle checked out and then buy it (if it
is OK.)

I bought a 95EVC with 90,000 miles on it. Everyone told me not to do it. We
have had no major problems and we saved about $5k. You may have some minor
problems like we all do, but the engine in these things are great.

If it checks out OK, what is the problem?

I must report a different experience. In January 1998 I found a 1995
EuroVanCamper with 1520 miles on it. It had never been put under warranty.
I bought it at a very reduced price. We have been very satisfied. Some
corrections? Yes. The propane tank leaked; the air conditioner did not
work; the coach battery relay did not work; the skylight leaked. All were
fixed to my satisfaction under the warranty. VW did the airconditioner,
and Winnebago did the rest. Jim McCarthy

What do you need all those troubles for? It may look like you'll save

$$ now, but have a really good chance to get in a lot more expensive
troubles later (they will tell you whatever you want, they will not loose
any $$). On top of that not many people have enough experience with EV,

even minor problem sometimes turns into a real pain. Just forget about it
and go after brand new one.

Subject: [ev_update] VWofA repurchase EVC?

After months of looking for a EVC, I've finally found one, but there's a
catch, and
it's a pretty big catch. The vehicle is a 99 with only 1000 miles on it.
It is
essentially new. The plastic is still on the splash guard over the
burners and it
appears that the fridge has never been used.

Here's the catch. It was repurchased by VW of America from the original
owner.
I've gotten a couple of different stories from the salesman. One is that
the owner
was in the military (the vehicle does have a military sticker) and was
transfered
out of the country. The other is that the owner didn't like some squeaks
and
didn't like some chipped paint.

I have problems with both of these arguments. I grew up in the military,
and I've
never heard of someone buying a car back becase of a transfer. It's a
valid reason
for breaking an apartment lease, but not for returning a car. For the
second
reason, VWof A must be pretty kind-hearted to buy back a vehicle for
squeaks and
chipped paint. I really don't see it.

I told the salesman that I was interested if the buyback was not done
because of
something major -- like the engine falling out. He assures me that it
wasn't, but
I don't think that I'm getting a straight story from them.

Here are my questions. Is this worth pursuing? Has anyone else been
involved in a
repurchase? Does anyone know who regulates car sales in California?
Maybe there's
some sort of full disclosure law I don't know about.

This looks pretty good to me. I ought to be able to pick up a new EVC at
a
substantial discount, but the repurchase is a bit scary.

Curt

Curt,

What do you need all those troubles for? It may look like you'll save some
$$ now, but have a really good chance to get in a lot more expensive
troubles later (they will tell you whatever you want, they will not loose
any $$). On top of that not many people have enough experience with EV, so
even minor problem sometimes turns into a real pain. Just forget about it
and go after brand new one.
