We only accept wires, certified checks, and cash. We do not take deposits, Paypal, credit cards (cash or debit), or checks in the mail. We will not deal with a loan from your bank. All cars must be paid for within 3 days of the auction ending, no excuses. Please make sure you have the funds available before you bid on our vehicles. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and we're sure that all other car dealers feel the same.
If you're the lucky winner of our auction, we will email you immediately to congratulate you and give you our number, 216-990-3880 (Lou). Most of our auctions end between 7 PM and 10 PM. We would like a call from the winner within 12 hours of auction ending so we know that they are a real buyer. If not, we will offer it to the 2nd highest bidder. If the original winner has still not contacted us after 4 days they will be reported to eBay as a non-paying bidder. Thank you again for reading.

This is a no-reserve auction, which means that the last highest bidder when the auction is over will win the car. Every time you bid on the car keep in mind that you have an opportunity to be the owner, so your bid means something.

We encourage all bidders to stop out, personally examine the car and drive it for themselves. If you can’t personally make it out to check out this vehicle, simply find a local mechanic to look at the vehicle and give you a personal report on the condition. Ebay also offers a service like this! Please do this BEFORE bidding on the vehicle!

This is an as-is vehicle, which means that once you buy it, you own it with all faults (known or unknown). With the purchase of this vehicle, the buyer will pay for all repairs. We sell all cars as-is, which means you will pay all costs for any repairs. The dealer assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.

If you need a 30-day tag, it’s $18.50. We handle the transfer of the title. We will also have to collect the tax for your county if you live in one of the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and South Carolina.

We would like the vehicle picked up from our lot within 7 days of auction ending. There will be a $100 paperwork fee added on to the final sale price of the vehicle, along with a $15 title fee. By Ohio law, we must transfer this title into your name. The reason being is that if we would just send you the title and it was to get lost, there would be a problem. Or if we would send you the title and you didn't transfer it for several years and it got lost, it would be an even bigger problem. We follow the law of our state and will make sure that the title is transferred correctly for all customers. We will not pay any shipping fees, but we would be glad to assist your shipper in picking up your vehicle. If you have any questions, call Lou at 216-990-3880. Good luck bidding!

Thank you for looking at our 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon. It's a 4 cylinder stick shift. It runs like brand new. The reason the miles are not actual is because the gentleman guessed the mileage, put in the wrong miles, and just checked the box "non-actual". The previous title to this title said actual. So when we sell it we're going to put the actual miles that are on the car. This car spent most of it's life in sunny California. It came to Cleveland about 15 years ago, purchased by a mechanic. The mechanic went crazy on this vehicle, making it run better than the original and replacing every part.

To start out, it has a 92 horsepowerPorscheengine and a newer clutch. All four tires are excellent, the brakes are to the top, it steers straight down the road, and it has no lack of power. A Westfalia enthusiast changed the motor to make it more powerful, run smoother and fuel injected. He also putgauges in the dash. He has a temperaturegaugein each cylinder, volt and ampgauges,tachometer, and fuel pressuregauge. With all the additionalgauges, it's just like you're flying an airplane. The original owner also replaced the radio with a modern sound system.

When you get in and drive this Volkswagen, it doesn't drive or sound like the original Vanagons. It's just fantastic. This van also comes withapproximately$2,000 of extra parts that are all shown in the slideshow below. The tent goes up and down easily and it's in very good condition. I also have all kinds of extra tarps that are shown in the slideshow. The front seats of the car are just about perfect, and everything in the back is very nice for being 35 years old. This camper just went on a camping trip about a month ago, 150 miles each way without any problems. Therefrigeratorand sink were used, and they both worked correctly.

We have all paperwork for this van, as shown in the pictures. Anything that was done or changed over can be found just by going through all the folders. Plus it has repair books, so if you want to service it yourself in the future, you don't have to hunt themdown. There was a little touch-up done to the vehicle, as seen in the pictures. Also the 2 mud-flaps in the back and the 2 end pieces for the bumper are in those boxes. There is a picture of the underneath of the vehicle, and the only rust you can see would come off with a Brillo Pad. But we left it original so that the new owner could see how solid this car really is, not by hiding anything.Please look at all 200 pictures, because I don't think I missed anything.If you purchase this vehicle today, you could go camping tonight. You can head right out to California from Cleveland and not look back!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS.
