THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.
This is my outstanding, enthusiast-owned 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel hatchback. I believe this is the nicest original Diesel Rabbit for sale in the country. This is a rare, collectible and hard-to-find car in this condition. This car belongs in the hands of a collector, VW enthusiast or automotive hobbyist- it is really, REALLY nice. This car has never seen road salt since it has been new. This is a totally RUST FREE car. This car spent the first part of its life in Dallas, Texas, and then it made its way to the Washington State in the Pacific Northwest (near Portland, OR). Neither Texas nor the Pacific Northwest sees any significant snow, and in neither place do they ever use salt on the roads. For this reason, the body of this car is as perfect and pristine as you will find anywhere in the country. This car was just shipped to my garage in Ohio in November and it has not been out on the roads, rather it is kept clean and dry in my heated garage. I have seen many of these Mark I Rabbits over the years (not so many lately), but I have NEVER seen one as clean as this one. I would stack this car up against any Rabbit anywhere, in originality, cleanliness and lack of rust. You cannot believe how superbly clean this car is in every respect- this car is totally amazing. I bought this car from a gearhead Volkswagen enthusiast who worked as an automotive mechanic. He was a fanatic about his cars, and in addition to this one, he owned a Volkswagen Rabbit pickup (Caddy), a GTI, an R32, an Audi A3 and several other unique Volkswagens. This Rabbit was always garaged, and always cared for impeccably. He is a VW service tech, and he did all the work to the car, whenever it needed anything. Therefore I can say with relative confidence that this car has no mechanical problems- it runs and drives great. This is the 1.6L Diesel, and it will get 50 MPG or better. It is a manual transmission, and the car has power brakes and air conditioning. As I mentioned, the body is outstanding. The paint appears to be all original and it carries a good shine. The body is totally, 100% completely rust-free and pristine. PRISTINE. There are no major cosmetic flaws, and even the steel wheels, the engine bay, the underside, EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY of this car is pristinely clean. The only notable fault is that the paint on the hood and the roof is sun damaged and flaking from the Texas sun. The interior of the car is excellent. The seats, carpets, upholstery, etc are all outstanding. These were not durable interiors, and it is remarkable to see an interior like this one. This car starts, runs and drives great. The engine starts perfectly every time and it runs beautifully. The glow plugs work well and the car doesn't smoke abnormally even on startup. The clutch is strong, the transmission shifts well and the steering and suspension are tight. This is a dependable, reliable, great-driving car. Even the tires are nearly new. I would trust this car to drive across the country and back without any worry. The only things you could fault is that there is some minor suspension noise over bumps and some vibration at idle (diesel+worn motor mounts). This has got to be the nicest condition Diesel Rabbit for sale anywhere, no joke. It is gorgeous. This car is the result of the combination of a perfectionist owner and a non-corrosive climate. You will not find a nicer diesel Rabbit for sale anywhere. Please keep in mind however, that this is a 32 year old unrestored car and as such it has normal wear and tear and issues consistent with its age. This is not a new car. This car is kept in my warm heated garage in Willoughby, OH. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. You can also have the car shipped, for a shipping quote please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481. Questions, email me or call/text me at 440 339 4341.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale
Sat, Jun 18 2016"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
