Selling my 1981 Rabbit, Diesel LS, 2nd owner.
There are 85,295 miles on the odometer, but there are probably just over 86k. Odometer was working when purchased, but stopped working prior to registering vehicle. Mileage was no longer 100% accurate so I registered the car as mileage unknown. I took the odometer apart and found the broken gear, and replaced it, which fixed the odometer. I went through a few tanks of fuel before it was fixed, so my best guess is that it is approximately 1000 miles over what is displayed on the odometer. I have been daily driving this car for two and a half years, about 50 miles everyday. Car starts every time, even in the cold, has a newly rebuilt injector pump, new glowplugs, new diesel cutoff switch. 4 Speed manual transmission, shifts into all gears very smoothly.
Paint is original, and in great shape everywhere on the car except the driver's side fender where the paint it pitting. Small rust spot on driver's side A pillar, small amount of rust on the bottom inside of driver's and passenger side door, as well as on the bottom inside of the hatch.
Heat blows hot, but there is NO A/C, moving with the windows down worked fine for me, but sitting in traffic in July could get a little warm. Interior upholstery is all in great condition, no rips or tears on any of the seats. Headliner is sagging some, but the fabric itself is in good shape, just needs to be re-glued.
I've been averaging 48 miles per gallon around town, have gotten 50+ when driving a little more efficiently. Car will get up to 75 on the interstate. We have driven the car on several long trips and have been fine, twice to NW Florida, and once to Rochester NY. Averages about 40 mpg at speeds of 70+

2018 Buick Regal TourX vs. wagon competitors: How it compares on paper
Wed, Jan 31 2018To the great joy of auto enthusiasts nationwide, wagons are back! Well, at least there's a few more of them. The latest is the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, which we just had our first drive of and found to actually be quite good with pleasant handling, solid power and plenty of space. But, how does the TourX compare to other cladded wagons? Well, let's dive into the specs and fire up the ol' spreadsheet maker for Buick Regal TourX vs Subaru Outback vs Audi A4 Allroad vs VW Alltrack vs Volvo V60 Cross Country. True, some are from mainstream brands and others are from luxury marques, but Buick straddles both realms, so it's appropriate to look at them all. Of course, there's more to these cars than just the numbers, but they're still important, and in the case of this class of crossover-aping wagons, can vary more than you'd expect. So check out the specs in the chart below, which are followed by more analysis and photos of each. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines and Transmissions When comparing powertrains, the Buick is far-and-away the winner as far as torque is concerned, and is in a nearly three-way tie for horsepower. Its 295 pound-feet of torque is 22 lb-ft more twist than the next-most-grunty Audi A4 Allroad. And in regards to power, the Buick's 250-horsepower engine is only down 6 hp to the most-powerful Subaru and its optional naturally aspirated flat-six, and just 2 hp less than the Audi. At the bottom of the pack is the Subaru Outback with the standard naturally aspirated flat-four, which only makes 174 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. That may not seem too bad compared with the VW Golf Alltrack, which only makes 170 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, but the VW is much lighter by between 200 and 300 pounds. Transmission-wise, there's quite a bit of variation in the group. The Regal TourX and the Volvo V60 Cross Country rely on eight-speed automatics, all Outbacks use CVTs, and the Alltrack and Allroad have dual-clutch automated manual transmissions with six and seven gears, respectively. But for people that want to shift for themselves, the only option is the Volkswagen, which offers a traditional six-speed manual transmission on the Golf Alltrack. Cargo and Interior Space One of the main reasons to buy a wagon is for the body style's large cargo capacity. And for the most space for things and stuff, you'll want to check out the Subaru and the Buick.
Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
