Here we have a 1981 VW Rabbit LS Diesel with 4 speed trans. 171,153 miles. The Rabbit LS if you don't already know is the "fancy" version with air conditioning, cruise control and extra trim. This little rabbit in my opinion is in overall good condition for being over 30 years old, ( it was in storage for some time ) I have included LOTS of photos so please take a good look. There is some rust as you might come to expect from a car that has been in the north, but could be fixed if it bothers you or if your looking for a little project. But with that said I have seen them WAY, WAY worse ! There are some little dings and scratches and the paint is fading on the roof and hood. I tried to get it all in the pictures. Like I said, It really does not look bad for the year and I get complements all the time about the condition its in but you judge for yourself. The interior is a little dirty as you can see but the worst thing is the headliner, like most of the old Rabbits it has a bunch of tacks holding it up and is torn in some areas. Also it must have a torn shifting boot as you can tell from the duct tape at the top near the knob. The radio is new but I have not yet figured out how to turn it on so I can not tell you if it even works. The trip meter works but it can not be re-set. The hood release pull cable is broken so that will need to be replaced, if you don't mind popping it from outside like me then its no problem. The dash is VERY NICE ! Not all cracked up. Now onto the engine, It has at some point been changed over to a newer 1.6L hydraulic lifter engine, good chance it came out of a Jetta or Golf. Fires right off with a tap of the key. I have no way of knowing how many miles the engine has on it but it does seem to be in good shape with good power and very little smoke, Its running in the out door photos. The timing belt has recently been replaced, newer battery, new coolant over-flow tank and the alternator looks to have been replaced at some time. The car seems tight and handles nice ! The shifter is not all lose and sloppy like some, brakes are nice and stop on a dime, clutch feels good. It really drives nice. I have been driving it as a everyday car and have been getting 50+ MPG. I have 2 VW diesels and am looking to sell them both and get 1 brand new one. I am offering the little Rabbit with NO warranties expressed nor impelled, if you want that you had better go buy a brand new one. Otherwise this 30+ year old VW is sold as-is were is. I invite and encourage any and all questions that you may have, please feel free to ask. If you are bidder with less than a 50 feedback rating you must contact me prior to placing a bid, if not I will cancel it. 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 its not than I will assume you no longer have interest in the car and will re-sell it, and thusly you will not receive your deposit back. As the old saying goes "It only takes a few bad apples" So with all that said good luck and happy bidding ! |

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
