Drives 600 miles on a tank. Truck is located in Burley Idaho where I now live. NO RESERVE. SOMEONE'S GOING TO WIN.
Just place a bid right now to test the waters. Nothing big, just the next bid increment. Prices sky rocket the last minute anyway. 

This is a well taken care of 1980 Diesel Rabbit truck that gets 45 MPG! I bought it from an old man in Las Vegas about 3 years ago. Comes with a hard to find camper shell, and a in bed tool box that can bolt in just behind the back glass. I drove it daily for about 10,000 miles. 
THE BAD
If your taller than 5'10" you will not be comfortable in the truck. Don't even bid.
There is some rust on the rain gutters, (pictured)
Little surface rust on the B pillar where the two metal seams come together. (pictured) 
The heater fan switch just broke this week. 
Original dashboard, (30 years old) its cracked.
THE GOOD
This truck gets a 7 out of 10 as far as paint and body. No big dents, but paint is tired, rock chips in the hood. Interior is also a 8 out of 10. Seats have been re-done, no holes stains or cracks on seats.
Got NEW front shocks/struts on 4/19.
New wheel bearings,
New Starter,
New battery, 
New glow plugs, 
New fuel tank,
New injectors (4). 
New Oil, Air, and Fuel Filters
Rust free strut towers.
New upholstery on the seats. 
Comes with some tools, repair manual, compression tester, and a hug.
I added an engine block heater, and on cold Idaho nights I plug her in and she starts right up in the morning.
Good compression on all 4 cylinders. NOT ORIGINAL MOTOR. This motor has about 40,000 miles on it.
Runs like a sewing machine. She came from the factory with a 4 speed trany but the previous owner swapped in the better 5 speed for higher fuel economy and better HWY driving. 
The pictures you see were taken while I was on the Road trip to Bozeman MT last month.

She would be perfect to convert over to a Grease Car to burn Vegi-oil, Biodiesel, or even ATF. Greasecar has many conversion kits available. When fuel prices sky rocket this truck will be nice to have. Buy it now before fuel prices go up. This rig is also the perfect car to have in case of an EMP or if North Korea starts a Nuke attack. At least you'll still be able to drive to work. LOL
Call or text me and leave a message for Kevin 
(to oh ate) three won too - 8062
For $3,800 I will bring you the truck. Montana, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada,  Northern Cali, Southern Washington, and Western Wyoming and Western Colorado. I will buy another busted Geo Metro near you to drive home. LOL
I reserve the right to end the listing early. I've got it listed locally and if someone puts enough cash in my hand, I will cut the auction.
This auction will end on Sunday May 19th official ebay time of 21:00 PDT. Mark Your Calender. In the upper right hand corner click on "Add to watch list" so you can find it in "My ebay"

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
