1983 Vw Rabbit, White, Convertible. Not Running on 2040-cars
Port Saint Joe, Florida, United States
I am selling my 1983 Rabbit. I bought this car from a lady who told me she and her husband bought it and had it totally redone on the inside (true, it has marine grade WHITE vinyl interior which is in exceptional condition). She also told me that they had their mechanic in Georgia put an engine in it, and that it has a 4 speed transmission, not a 5 speed transmission (even though the stick shift has 5 speeds, it really only is a 4 speed). Her husband passed away and she let it sit in her garage until she sold it to me. ,I drove this car for a year on the beach, it was great and I loved it, then one day I was driving down the road and it just died, I pulled over to the side of the road, and it had to be towed from there. It has been sitting ever since. It is such a shame, because it is a cool car that turned heads every where I went. I had several offers to buy it at gas stations, fast food joints, etc., but at the time was unwilling to sell. Now she is dead, and needs a VW enthusiast to take over ownership to restore her to her former glory. This car has NO air, NO power steering, but it has a NEW convertible top and new interior, plus a lot of white sand from the Gulf of Mexico :)
Exterior is in great shape, there is one bumper cover missing, it has an aftermarket gas cap, it has minimal MINIMAL rust a little around the wheels in the rear, but the body is quite solid. This would be an excellent first car for someone, cause let's face it, it just doesn't go that fast. Maybe you would like to attend some car shows, with the proper attention it could even bring you home a ribbon or two. Or maybe you live at the beach and would like to have your own "beach buggy" the options are limitless. I want someone who will have as much fun with it as I did. It is eligible for antique plates in most states as it is 30+ "An oldie but a goodie" THIS CAR DOES NOT RUN. It would have to be trailered. I am offering the little Rabbit with NO warranties expressed nor implied, if you want that you had better go buy a brand new one. Otherwise this 30+ year old VW is sold as-is where is. I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. Lana 573-819-0132 I may not know the answer, but will do my best. I would prefer that you inspect the car prior to bidding, but I can send more pictures per request. The
car can be stored here outside for 30 days or so but must be paid for
in full with-in 7 days of auction end, if it is not then I will assume you
no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it. You
will not receive your deposit back. I will require an immediate deposit of $500 via paypal, with the balance in cash/cashier's check at time of pick up. So with all that said good luck and happy bidding ! |

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
VW offers to buy back new diesels if bans introduced
Thu, Mar 29 2018By Maria Sheahan FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen will buy back new diesel cars if German cities ban them, it said on Thursday, seeking to reassure potential buyers and stem a plunge in sales of diesel vehicles. Europe's biggest automaker also said it would extend incentives for buyers of new diesel cars. The moves come after a German court ruled last month that cities in the country could ban the most polluting diesel vehicles from their streets. Many German cities exceed European Union limits on atmospheric nitrogen oxide, known to cause respiratory diseases. Fears of bans have led to a plunge in demand for diesel vehicles, which are also key to carmakers' attempts to meet new EU rules on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While diesel cars are heavily criticized for emitting nitrogen oxide, they spew out less CO2 than gasoline equivalents. Diesel car sales plunged 19 percent in Germany last month. At its core VW brand, Volkswagen said its buyback offer applied to new diesels bought between April 1 and the end of 2018 and would kick in if the city in which the buyer lived or worked banned diesels within three years of the purchase. It said its dealerships would buy back diesel vehicles affected by bans at their current value if their owners at the same time bought a new vehicle that was not affected by cities' driving restrictions. At Czech brand Skoda, the guarantee applies to cars bought between April 1 and the end of June, but will cover bans introduced within four years of the purchase date. At premium brand Audi, the offer only covers leased vehicles. Volkswagen also said it was extending to the end of June incentives for customers trading in older diesels for new ones. Fellow German carmaker BMW said earlier this month it would offer to take back leased vehicles if diesels were banned within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the operator's home or place of work. There has been a global backlash against diesel-engine cars since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to cheating U.S. exhaust tests. But Germany's government is seeking to avoid widespread bans on heavily polluting diesel vehicles, which companies say could cut the resale value of up to 15 million vehicles in Europe's biggest car market. In Germany, where motorists expect to drive powerful cars on motorways with no speed limits, any restrictions will be unpopular.
