50mpg, Diesel, 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit " Caddy " Pickup Lx, 5 Speed, & Topper! on 2040-cars

Fantastic little pickup truck. 50 mpg at 65mph on the highway! The truck is currently a daily driver and is averaging 45 mpg between city and highway. It starts right up every time, runs, shifts and drives very nicely. 5 speed manual transmission. Very smooth and straight on the highway. The interior is a nice butterscotch/ caramel color and in pretty decent shape for it's age. The truck came from California this year and is rust free! Looks like it has underbody coating everywhere underneath the truck and a built in block heater. The block heater cord is conveniently accessed right behind the front bumper for easy plug in during the winter months. Truck bed coating throughout the bed and the bumpers as well. Set up for light towing with a 2" hitch ball and plug for trailer lights. The paint job is aftermarket (not factory) and I would rate it about a 7 out of 10 overall. The truck looks great but it is fairly old so don't expect it to be "like new". Exterior lights all work but the interior does not. Clock works great, speedometer is bouncy (speedometer gear is solid, I am installing a new speedometer cable in the next day or two which should settle it down). The truck has a new timing belt, new water pump, new alternator, and new injection pump! Passenger seat is in great shape. The driver's seat was torn but tastefully patched. Currently no headliner. I have the backing piece which would need a new piece of fabric. One layer of sound deadening coating has been applied to the roof so far. All of the glass is solid and crack free! The sliding part of the rear window to the truck bed was replaced with a plexiglass piece. The heat works great. The truck has AC and cruise control however the AC is empty (I have not tried to charge it yet but I did test the compressor clutch and it engaged as it should) and the cruise does not seem to work (I have not checked it out at all). New wiper blades. New dash speakers. CV boots on the axles look good. Comes with matching topper, a full tank of diesel and will get a fresh oil and filter change just before the sale! I will get a picture with the topper on the truck in the next day or two. This truck gets compliments and comments everywhere I go! Rare, looks great, drives great and better mileage than you will find on many hybrid cars! Thanks for looking, and good luck!

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
