This is an original unmolested 1979 Rabbit Diesel C. A southern car I have every reason to believe it has spent it's entire life in the Greensboro, NC area. I have owned the car for about a year and a half now. I drive it back and forth to work daily and have taken it on several medium range trips , the longest was to Syracuse, NY and back last Christmas. It averages about 42 mpg, has started right away every time except for one 10 degree morning in January when the tank was low. Even then after trying for about 10 minutes and leaving it set about 20 and trying it again it started. The interior is in very good shape with the exception of driver's seat wear and a cracked dash. The previous owner added a three gauge setup out of a cabriolet which works nicely. Still has the orignal 1.5 L motor and original first year 5spd trans. I bought the car never intending to repaint it which it really needs, I only treated surface rust with brush applied rust preventive epoxy. Has the usual Rabbit rust at the bottom of the rear wheel wells nothing major. Strut towers all solid, needs new strut inserts though. Some denting on the passenger side roof above the door. Engine has an oil leak on the pulley side, if you drive it on the highway long distances it hardly loses any oil, but around town travel during the week usually requires a top off of oil by the end of the week. Only reason for selling found a Diesel Jetta it would like to own instead. Being a 1979 and therefore 35 years old this car requires no inspection at all in NC. Feel free to ask me any questions about the car. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel bids and end the auction at any time.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.

VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.
