1984 Volkswagen Vw Rabbit Diesel New Paint, No Rust on 2040-cars
Bangor, Maine, United States
|
For sale is a 1984 VW Rabbit with a 1.6 diesel engine (non turbo) with 236k miles. The engine is not running, so it is non operational. I do not what is wrong and not able to get it fixed. I have owned the car for 10 years. I drove it for about 5 years and was fun to drive and economical, getting about 40-45 miles/gallon. The car did run on vegetable oil for a couple years using a GreaseCar conversion kit. The equipment has since been removed and will not be included with the car.
The exterior of the car has been reconditioned with new paint, wheels, tires, caps, light covers. The car has been in a handful of car shows and took a lot of attention. A lot of money has been invested into the car with the exterior renovations and repairs, including a new rack and pinion steering rack and rebuilt fuel injector pump and new fuel injectors. The car has been in storage for the last 5 years and not driven due to family issues and inability to maintain car. The car has been taken well care of and has only been driven in 4 Maine winters out of the 30 years! The first owner was a part time resident and only drove it in the summer. I also did not drive it during the winter when road salt was applied. As a result, this car has little to no rust. The exterior was buffed out removing dings, scratches etc and given a new paint job. The original color was baby blue with exterior color now a dark blue. The paint on hood of car is scratched up since the paint job. The car comes 4 original VW wheel rims with 4 studded snow tires. Comes with the original owner's manual, repair manual. I am also including a box full of new parts including 2 wheel hubs, timing belt, oil pan gasket, fuel filter and an oil filter. Many repair bills are also included. Title is free and clear. In Maine, any car older than 1996 does not require a title nor does it need to be up to date. This is a PROJECT CAR and is NON OPERATIONAL and is being sold as-is. As mentioned above the exterior has been renovated but will need engine and electrical work. Prior to putting it into storage, I was in the process of redesigning the electrical system from scratch and had purchased and installed a new (rebuilt) injector pump ($500) and new fuel injectors. At least two of the doors are non functional (will not open from outside or inside). This car is good for someone that is looking for a project, is mechanical and has the time and money to put the car back on the road. I am the third owner, not the 5th owner, as mentioned in the auto report. 5% of this sale will be donated to the 11q Research and Resource Group. This organization to near and dear to my heart, as my daughter has this rare genetic condition. As a result of the financial and time constraints (to say the least) of having a special needs daughter, this is the true reason why this car is being sold! |

Volkswagen sketches Geneva-bound concept
Wed, Feb 25 2015Volkswagen has released a pair of sketches that give us our first official glimpse at the company's new concept car, set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Details are slim – the car doesn't even have a name yet – but we do have some facts about VW's swoopy new showcar. First off, it's a sedan – well, "four-door coupe" – but is said to have a hatchback configuration. Autoblog has also learned that the car will be powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a TSI gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, and uses an all-wheel-drive configuration that's likely similar to that in the recently unveiled Cross Coupe GTE concept. Volkswagen says this showcar uses a new, progressive design language for the brand. And while it sort of looks like a dead ringer for a new CC, we're told this concept is positioned above that model. For now, that's all we know, but we expect a host of other details to be released closer to the car's official debut in Geneva next week. Stay tuned.

Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA
Sat, Aug 23 2014Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
