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"

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.

VW admits 430,000 2016 models have implausible CO2 ratings

Mon, Nov 16 2015

Volkswagen finally explained more details about its CO2 rating scandal in Europe and admitted that 430,046 of the estimated 800,000 affected vehicles with "implausible" figures came from the 2016 model year. They included some from Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW, and VW Commercial Vehicles, according to the automaker's list (as a PDF). The problem mostly impacts diesel engines, but the inventory also shows some gasoline mills. VW will next determine the accurate CO2 emissions for these vehicles, and the German Federal Vehicle and Transport Authority will supervise that process to ensure the data's veracity. The automaker will also launch websites in Europe to let owners enter their model's VIN to check whether it's affected. Because governments there often link vehicle taxes and CO2 production, the company promises to work with regulators in each country to cover any fees that result from the inaccurate figures. VW announced the CO2 scandal earlier in November and estimated the equivalent of $2.2 billion to fix it at the time. A later report claimed that a group of engineers were responsible for fabricating the emissions data. They allegedly couldn't meet reduction goals from Martin Winterkorn, and between 2013 and this spring the workers did things like overinflate the tires during testing to achieve the desired results. VW is also closer to a fix in the diesel emissions scandal. According to an anonymous insider to Bloomberg, the company has a repair for the 1.6-liter engine that's reportedly neither very complex nor expensive. German regulators would still need to approve the solution before it could roll out to owners. Next step in clarifying the CO2 issue Affected Volkswagen Group models of the current model year have been identified Customers being informed via website Discussions with the authorities have begun The Volkswagen Group reports that the vehicles of the 2016 model year affected by the CO2 issue have been identified. There is thus now clarity about the new vehicles of the current model year out in the marketplace. On 3 November 2015, the Group had already reported that irregularities may have arisen in determining the CO2 figures for type approval of around 800,000 vehicles. This was identified during its own currently ongoing investigations and had been made public. The internal investigations into the current vehicles of the 2016 model year provide results for narrowing down the actually affected vehicles with implausible CO2 figures.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
