No Reserve, High Bidder WINS!

We are Proud to offer one of the nicest 1982 RARE LX "Limited Wolfsburg Edition" Volkswagen Pickups also known as the Caddy. Only 188k miles since new. This is the ONLY known Wolfsburg Edition Caddy available in the marketplace today. When buying one, why not reach for the stars and buy the most sought after, highly optioned pickup!

I feel this is one of the NICEST available for Sale. This was a former show car in the 1980’s. This was purchased from the original owners. Here comes the fun stuff!

The original owner special ordered the Limited Wolfsburg Edition which was beyond the top of the line model at the time. He ordered it with remote mirrors, factory air conditioning, sliding rear window, and bed gates. Its LOADED with accessories and options. If that wasn’t enough, he added a GTI 1.8L engine, GTI 5 speed manual transmission, GTI wheels, GTI seats, GTI console with “working gauges” (2) 8” sub woofers and a remote Alpine CD player. It also has a rare Kamei front spoiler which i have been told are hard to come by. It runs and drives great. Its a BLAST to drive.

This is for all the Caddy MK1 enthusiasts or anyone that demands a nice Volkswagen Pickup with a near perfect original exterior. The number of nice survivors is very low in this condition. Without question, it is certain to be a standout in any serious collector's stable or anyone that appreciates a low millage never been hit pickup. The truck is still wearing most of its original Silver paint.

The original owners of this 1982 LX Limited Wolfsburg Edition Volkswagen Pickup took exceptional care of it. This super exceptional and un-restored original is a great example of just how nice an old Volkswagen pickup can be with a history of proper care, maintenance, and being garaged. It displays beautifully for being over 30 years old and being garaged since new. Everything works as it should. The undercarriage will surprise you with how clean and dry it is. This Caddy draws a lot of respect from knowledgeable enthusiasts. Be prepared to get lots of waves, smiles, and compliments everywhere you go. It runs and drives great.

Please remember this is not a restored pickup; it has some dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being 30 plus years-old. Those who have been looking know how impossible it is to find a pickup in this condition also being the rare LX Wolfsburg Edition, and rare options it has listed above. It’s the only LX Wolfsburg Edition available for sale in the marketplace its that rare, as I have done my research. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own this one. Its hard to explain every detail of a 30 plus year old vehicle, the headliner is not perfect, the drivers seat bolster has some wear, there some small splits on the dash, and minor cancer bubbles in the bed of the truck the size of a dime, which is hardly noticeable, as I’m just trying to be detailed on the description. Many people cant believe how clean it really is.

VW still set on Phaeton redux despite cost-cutting drive and losing $32k per car

Wed, Jan 28 2015

While critically well regarded, the Volkswagen Phaeton has proven to be a vehicle largely unloved by luxury buyers around the world. Despite this, it refuses to die. While VW's luxury sedan hasn't been sold in the US since 2006 due to low sales here, it has soldiered on in Europe with occasional updates. As the model's long lifespan has been winding down, VW has decided to keep pushing the Phaeton into a new generation, despite in-house alternatives like the Audi A8 and Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The move might not make much business sense, but Volkswagen executives are determined to make the Phaeton work. According to market analysts speaking to Reuters, developing the next-gen luxury sedan on the MLB platform could cost as much as 650 million euros ($737 million), despite relying on the same underpinnings in the A8. It's not like the Phaeton is leading the luxury sedan sales ranks, either. Reuters notes VW produced just 5,812 of them in 2013 (the most current year with data), and from 2002 to 2012, the automaker reportedly lost 28,000 euros ($32,000) on each example sold. Conversely, Mercedes-Benz sold 103,737 units of its new S-Class in 2014, an astonishing 82.2 percent jump over the previous year. The decision to keep the Phaeton going doesn't seem to square with the VW brand's cost-cutting strategy. Boss Martin Winterkorn announced last year a plan to save 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) annually in the coming years. That plan reportedly also includes killing off less profitable models. Apparently, VW can't just rip off the band-aid and get rid of the Phaeton. Even some VW bosses seem somewhat perplexed at the sedan's business case. When Reuters asked the company's US boss Michael Horn about selling the Phaeton here, he said. "That's a dangerous question. It's an image bearer with no relevance for volume." The next-gen Phaeton is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2017 or 2018, according to Reuters, which is about a year later than previous rumors. A US launch will reportedly follow in 2018 or 2019 with the plug-in hybrid and potentially even diesel versions on offer. A starting price around $70,000 is estimated.

Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?

Tue, Jun 30 2015

After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.
