No Reserve, High Bidder WINS!

We are Proud to offer one of the nicest 1982 RARE LX "Limited Wolfsburg Edition" Volkswagen Pickups also known as the Caddy. Only 188k miles since new. This is the ONLY known Wolfsburg Edition Caddy available in the marketplace today. When buying one, why not reach for the stars and buy the most sought after, highly optioned pickup!

I feel this is one of the NICEST available for Sale. This was a former show car in the 1980’s. This was purchased from the original owners. Here comes the fun stuff!

The original owner special ordered the Limited Wolfsburg Edition which was beyond the top of the line model at the time. He ordered it with remote mirrors, factory air conditioning, sliding rear window, and bed gates. Its LOADED with accessories and options. If that wasn’t enough, he added a GTI 1.8L engine, GTI 5 speed manual transmission, GTI wheels, GTI seats, GTI console with “working gauges” (2) 8” sub woofers and a remote Alpine CD player. It also has a rare Kamei front spoiler which i have been told are hard to come by. It runs and drives great. Its a BLAST to drive.

This is for all the Caddy MK1 enthusiasts or anyone that demands a nice Volkswagen Pickup with a near perfect original exterior. The number of nice survivors is very low in this condition. Without question, it is certain to be a standout in any serious collector's stable or anyone that appreciates a low millage never been hit pickup. The truck is still wearing most of its original Silver paint.

The original owners of this 1982 LX Limited Wolfsburg Edition Volkswagen Pickup took exceptional care of it. This super exceptional and un-restored original is a great example of just how nice an old Volkswagen pickup can be with a history of proper care, maintenance, and being garaged. It displays beautifully for being over 30 years old and being garaged since new. Everything works as it should. The undercarriage will surprise you with how clean and dry it is. This Caddy draws a lot of respect from knowledgeable enthusiasts. Be prepared to get lots of waves, smiles, and compliments everywhere you go. It runs and drives great.

Please remember this is not a restored pickup; it has some dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being 30 plus years-old. Those who have been looking know how impossible it is to find a pickup in this condition also being the rare LX Wolfsburg Edition, and rare options it has listed above. It’s the only LX Wolfsburg Edition available for sale in the marketplace its that rare, as I have done my research. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own this one. Its hard to explain every detail of a 30 plus year old vehicle, the headliner is not perfect, the drivers seat bolster has some wear, there some small splits on the dash, and minor cancer bubbles in the bed of the truck the size of a dime, which is hardly noticeable, as I’m just trying to be detailed on the description. Many people cant believe how clean it really is.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo engine fires, Tesla finalist for Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience award

Thu, Dec 22 2016

NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into complaints of Smart Fortwo engine fires. So far, the agency has received eight complaints about the rear engine compartment catching fire in model year 2008 and 2009 Fortwos and quickly engulfing the car. Six of the fires occurred while driving and were preceded by a check engine light. "The safety of our customers is our primary concern, and we are cooperating with NHTSA in its inquiry," says parent company Mercedes-Benz. "We are not aware of any injuries related to this inquiry." Read more from Automotive News. Volkswagen will pay $1.6 billion (US) in Canada as part of a settlement of its diesel emissions scandal. The funds will be used to fix or buy back some 105,000 affected cars, compensate owners between $3,815 and $4,451 above the buyback price, and pay a $11.2 million civil fine. So far, VW has agreed to spend over $18 billion in North America in connection with its diesel emissions cheating, and is expected to settle on a resolution of its 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the US soon.

The award recognizes companies that turn customers into brand advocates through referral programs. In Tesla's current program, customers who buy a car using a referral link get $1,000 off the price of their car, while referring owners are awarded prizes including a signed Powerwall 2 and invitations to unveiling events. Referring owners are also entered into a drawing to win a Model S or Model X. "With a disdain for paid advertising, Tesla Motors is leading the trend of reaching new customers through existing ones," says Extole. The other finalists are Hanna Andersson and Ulta Beauty.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
