Bought off Ebay a year and 1/2 ago for $7250 + 1500 in fees and shipping. Seller said "like new" rebuilt top bottom side to side in and out. Had shipped to Hawaii bottom end of engine had been blown. Over the past year I have had put professionally a new out of a box VW 1.9L diesel long block, clutch, hoses, door handles, wet okole seat covers, etc etc...totaling over the purchase price having around 16K in it.

The paint was pretty good upon arrival, I would say it was a rust free California truck, but being in Hawaii the past year and 1/2 the post on passanger side and a few other spots need attention. The expense(2-3K) here in Hawai'i for a decent paint job in addition to going back to mainland for a bit has me entertaining the possibilities of letting her go.

Starts right up 1st time every time, gets over 50MPG and people just love the thing everywhere I go. Just change the oil every so often and dirve this thing another 250K miles...I have spared no expense and addressed all issues profesionally. I would suggest only the body I would like to see taken care of in the next year or 2.

I'm including shipping in the final bid on PASHA Hawaii....that's 1100 value anywhere on the west coast of the USA please look at their website to find ports and dates of travel. Also would include inner island shipping, and local pickup fine as well.

Please Ebay message me your phone number if you would like to buy this incredible efficient antique vw truck. I can take my time and answer any ?'s you have.

I have been putting pictures here for people: http://surfing.smugmug.com/Other/1981-VW-Rabbit-19-Diesel/38769851_StrbRD#!i=3205150890&k=fxbntN9 ive been doing my very worst try to capture the poorest pics to be as fair and honest as possible

have a look and request freely any other views, i'll be photoing the recipts and also shooting some more on a sunny day soon.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
